BEIJING, (Reuters) – Officials said Saturday that Chinese emergency personnel have yet to locate the second black box of the China Eastern Airlines plane (NYSE:). The plane crashed with 132 passengers onboard.
They found an emergency transmitter on the plane, which was close to the location of the second black box, the flight data recorder, Zhu Tao from China’s Civil Aviation Administration of China said.
Also, the team wants the data module of the flight data recorder.
On Wednesday, another black box was discovered, the cockpit voice recorder. Experts have sent it to Beijing.
Flight MU5735 had been travelling from Kunming, in southwest China to Guangzhou (on Monday), when it was struck by a Boeing (NYSE.) 737-880 at cruising altitude and crashed into a forested Guangxi zone.
There have never been any survivors.
Zheng Xi from Guangxi’s fire- and rescue service said that samples collected from the accident site have identified 120 people. He said that none of the major components of explosives could be found in crash debris.
