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.

President Lands Helicopter

What: Robinson R44
Where: near Cobquecura
When: Jan 23, 2010
Who: Sebastian Pinera President of Chile
Why: A recently released report by Radio Bio Bio said that Sebastian Pinera was flying a helicopter to his house, and a fuel supply problem forced him to land on the highway, that he was picked up by a police helicopter and flown to his house.

The President denies that report, and says instead that he stopped for fuel at a town near Cobquecura. The stop was not an emergency landing at all, that he was having lunch with a friend then heading to his Caburga home.
