  • DGCA officials trying to recover black box

 

Mangalore, 23 May 2010: A team of experts arrived in Mangalore this morning from Hyderabad to conduct DNA tests to help in identification of bodies charred beyond recognition in the Air India Express plane crash. Some 115 bodies had been identified so far, Deputy Inspector General of Mangalore Gopal B Hosur said.  

In the country’s worst air disaster in a decade, 158 people died when the Mangalore-bound Boeing 737-800 flight from Dubai overshot the runway and burst into flames at the Bajpe airport here. Eight persons survived.

Bodies of all the victims were recovered last night. Relatives of those killed have gathered at Wenlock Hospital and are trying to identify their loved ones.

Meanwhile, Directorate General of Civil Aviation officials are at the crash site trying to recover the Cockpit Voice Recorder, commonly known as black box, as well as the Flight Data Recorder.

The analysis of the data from these equipment could give vital clues to the cause of the crash.

The team that arrived here yesterday, also undertook inspection of the runway at the Bajpe airport, sources said.
