CRI听力:TransAsia Black Boxes Data out Next Week

2014-07-26来源:CRI

Taiwan's aviation safety council is to release information from the black boxes of TransAsia Airways Flight GE 222 next week.

The data, including flight path information and recordings from the cockpit, are expected to shed light on the reasons for the plane's deadly crash on Wednesday.

The wreckage of the plane will now be transferred to a local air force base for examination.
The clean up continues on the island of Penghu, west of Taipei.

Chang Te-hao is the Director of the South Coast Guard Bureau.

"So far we have found all the victims' bodies and all the passengers' belongings have been collected. Now we are doing one last sweep of the wreckage to make sure we didn't miss anything."

Of the 48 people killed, 33 bodies have been identified, including those of two French nationals.

The flight was carrying 54 passengers and four crew members, when it crashed into residential buildings after a failed emergency landing.

The flight departed despite heavy weather, following the passing of a typhoon that had forced the cancellation of about 200 flights earlier on the day.

But aviation authorities say conditions were safe for flying and two other planes had landed at Penghu prior to the crash.
