**Flights Recorder Stopped Working Before South Korea Air Crash, Investigations**
A passenger plane that crashed in South Korea last month, killing over 170 people, stopped working minutes before it landed on the belly of the plane and exploded on the runway, investigators said on Saturday. The disaster, the nation’s worst air crash in nearly three decades, has shocked the country and the world.
According to the South Korean Transportation Ministry, the Boeing 737-800’s cockpit voice recorder (CVR) and flight data recorder (FDR) stopped working about four minutes before the crash. The ministry stated that it is not yet clear why the devices stopped recording, and efforts will be made to determine the cause.
The disaster, which occurred on December 29, killed 179 passengers and crew members, leaving only two survivors. The Flight 7C 2216, which took off from Bangkok, landed at Muan International Airport, where it caught fire, producing a massive explosion. The exact cause of the crash remains unknown.
The ministry pointed out that the CVR and FDR data are crucial in accident investigations, but investigators are also analyzing other information to identify the cause of the accident. The investigation is expected to take several months, and it is unclear what triggered the crash.
