Officials hope that retrieval of one of the two onboard flight recorders will shed light on crash in mountainous area of Guangxi
Chinese recovery crews have found one of the black box flight recorders from the China Eastern Airlines jet that crashed on Monday with 132 people on board, state media has reported.
The domestic passenger plane plunged from more than 20,000 feet into a mountainous area of Guangxi, sparking an intense bamboo fire and almost disintegrating on impact. Response officials said the circumstances of the crash meant investigators faced “a very high level of difficulty” in establishing a cause.
