Crash update: Henan Airlines

Lindu airport: The black box flight data recorder and cockpit voice recorder of the Embraer ERJ-190 plane in the crash been recovered. Henan Airlines closed down all flights Wednesday, dismissed its president Li Qiang and apologized to the public. The two-year old Embraer 190 was leased from RBS Aviation Capital.

Although this is the first fatal Embraer crash, broken turbine plates and flight control system errors have been noted as previous issues. And also, the year old Lindu Airport was not considered safe for night landings.

George’s Point of View

What an amazing coincidence…that the news that the black boxes from the Comoros crash are recovered crosses the internet on practically the same day that they throw in the towel for the search for the Air France black boxes.

But the news is out:

They were detected on July 23rd and now, Comores Officials have reported on Aug 28th, that both black boxes have been recovered.

I am delighted with the wonderful news and am as excited as everyone to learn what’s inside. Now maybe they can re-allocate their resources to recommence the search for the black boxes of Air France Flight 447.
