Black Boxes Recovered From Fatal South Korea Plane Crash

South Korean investigators have retrieved two flight recorders from a passenger plane that crashed earlier this week, leaving over 120 people dead. The discovery, confirmed by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, marks a critical step in uncovering what caused the tragedy.

Known as \"black boxes,\" the devices store cockpit audio and flight data, which could reveal mechanical failures, human error, or other factors behind the crash. The Accident Investigation Committee stated analysis could take weeks but emphasized transparency in their findings.

This incident has reignited global conversations about aviation safety, especially among travelers and professionals tracking Asia’s transportation networks. Authorities have not yet confirmed whether the victims included international passengers, but families worldwide await answers.
