A black box containing the flight recorder was recovered Wednesday from the wreckage of a China Eastern passenger plane that crashed earlier this week, officials said.
The flight recorder from China Eastern Flight MU5735, a Boeing 737-800, was found, Liu Lusong, a spokesman for Chinaâs aviation authority, told reporters. State media outlets later claimed that the recorder was badly damaged.
Boeing 737-800 planes are equipped with two flight recorders. Officials are still looking for the other recorder.
âAt present, it is unclear whether it is a data recorder or a cockpit voice recorderâ that was located, said another Civil Aviation Administration official, Mao Yanfeng, during a news conference, according to the AFP news agency.
