Recorders show Swiss pilots were trying to re-approach

Flight recorders from the Swiss airliner that crashed on approach to Zurich airport, killing 24 people, showed the pilots were in the process of aborting their landing attempt to make a new approach, investigators said today.

Nine people survived the crash of flight LX3597 last Saturday evening. The Jumbolino Avro RJ-100 from Berlin to Zurich came down in woodland just short of the runway.
