Cypriot airliner black boxes being sent to France
Two black-box recorders from the Cypriot airliner that crashed outside Athens will be sent to France for expert examination, officials said today, to determine why the plane went down – possibly with all 121 on board already dead.
Authorities said the cause of yesterday’s crash appeared to be technical failure – resulting in high-altitude decompression. A transport official said the 115 passengers and six crew may have been dead when the plane went down.
