France found two black boxes of the crashed plane

The Bureau of Investigation and Analysis (BEA, France) announced that it had found the second black box of the crashed A330 plane of the French airline Air France, which crashed into the Atlantic Ocean in June 2009, killing all 228 people on board.

BEA chief Jean Paul Troadec said the search robot had found the cockpit voice recorder (CVR) on the morning of May 3. The black box was in good condition, with the chassis, module and beacons still in place.

Previously, the first black box recording flight data was found on May 1 at a location about 10 meters from the CVR on the seabed.

Investigators hope finding both black boxes of the ill-fated plane will help them lift the veil on this mysterious plane crash.

According to Mr. Troadec, the time and results of reading data in the two black boxes depend on how much the data has been degraded during the time immersed in seawater.

Both black boxes are currently being kept in a special environment awaiting analysis at BEA laboratories, expected to begin in about eight days.

The above air accident occurred on June 1, 2009 when the A330 was en route from Brazil to France.

The official cause of this most tragic plane crash in Air France history has yet to be determined.

Initial investigations suggest the cause of the crash may have been the speed sensors used by European aircraft manufacturer Airbus, while Air France has been accused of failing to promptly replace the sensors when problems with the equipment were reported.

The two companies involved have to pay 35 million euros ($52 million) for the 23-month search for the black boxes.
