China says black box from crashed plane is a cockpit recorder
STORY: Flight MU5735 was en route from the southwestern city of Kunming to Guangzhou on the coast on Monday when the Boeing 737-800 jet suddenly plunged from cruising altitude at about the time when it should have started its descent before landing.Aircraft wreckage and human tissue fragments were also found near the crash site, Zheng Xi said, who is the chief of the fire and rescue corps of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.An initial inspection showed that the exterior of the recorder has been severely damaged, but the storage units, while also damaged to some extent, are relatively complete,” Zhu said, adding that the black box is being sent to an institute in Beijing for decoding, although how long that takes would depend on the extent of the damage.
