Last month, a Jeju Air passenger jet crashed in South Korea. The black boxes stopped recording 4 minutes before the crash.
This information came from the Ministry of Transport, who said they will investigate why the black boxes stopped recording.
This makes it harder for investigators who need the flight data and cockpit voice recordings to find out why the crash happened.
The plane left Bangkok, Thailand, and was heading to Muan in southwestern South Korea on December 29th.
It crash-landed and caught on fire after going off the runway. Just before the crash, the pilot said there was a bird strike.
Two cabin crew members survived, but 179 people died.
The voice recorder was first looked at in South Korea, but when they found data missing, they sent it to a lab in the US.
A former accident investigator from the Ministry of Transport said the missing data might be because of a total power loss, which is very rare. Reuters
