Comoros: Putting together the Black Box puzzle
Yemenia Flight 626 from Paris to Moroni sank into the ocean on June 30, killing 152 people, with one survivor. The black boxes were found Friday.
Just because the black boxes were found does not mean the route to discovery is on track. Apparently there was so much damage to the black boxes, there is going to be trouble recovering the data. That’s not new. In fact, usually when there is trouble reading the black boxes, investigators call in the company that made the boxes, and they are usually able to mine the data in spite of damage.
The BEA, the French aviation authority is handling the investigation. Many of those aboard were French and/or French Comoran.
Did they–are they–sending the boxes to the US? They’d have a better chance of recovery if they do.
