Hi friends! Have you ever wondered how we find out what happened in an airplane accident? Well, investigators use something called a “black box”! π¦
Recently, there was a tragic airplane crash involving a Jeju Air flight in South Korea that sadly took the lives of 179 people. π’ But now, investigators have started to find clues to understand what went wrong.
They have successfully extracted the initial data from one of the black boxes, specifically the cockpit voice recorder. This device records all the conversations and sounds in the cockpit, like the pilots talking or any alarms. It’s like a special tape recorder that helps solve mysteries! π΅οΈββοΈ
South Korea’s deputy minister for civil aviation, Joo Jong-wan, said that they’ve completed the initial extraction from the cockpit voice recorder. That’s a big step forward! π
Now, experts are working on getting information from the second black box, called the flight data recorder. This one records all sorts of important information about the airplane’s systems, like speed, altitude, and engine performance. It’s like the airplane’s diary! π
By analyzing the data from these black boxes, investigators hope to find out what caused the accident and make air travel safer for everyone. βοΈβ€οΈ
Isn’t it amazing how technology helps us learn from these events to prevent them in the future? Stay curious and keep learning! π
