Russian airport where plane crashed Saturday reopens Investigators have trouble with crashed Dubai plane’s data
(about 2 hours later)
MOSCOW — Flights have resumed at the Russian airport where a Dubai plane crashed while attempting to land on Saturday, killing all 62 on board. MOSCOW — Russian investigators say they can’t immediately read data from the flight recorders of a Dubai plane that crashed in southern Russia on Saturday, killing all 62 on board.
The airport’s real-time departures board showed three flights departing from Rostov-on-Don Monday morning. Sergei Zaiko, deputy chairman of the Inter-State Aviation Committee which investigates the crash, told Russian television on Monday that the black boxes have been damaged to the point that the experts could not immediately read the data. He said, however, that they have copied data from the data recorder and have yet to do that for the voice recorder. Once it’s done, the experts will see if they can extract the data, he said.
FlyDubai’s Boeing 737-800 from Dubai nosedived and exploded in a giant fireball on the airport runway before dawn on Saturday after trying to land for a second time in strong winds. Most of the passengers were Russian holidaymakers. The cause of the crash was not immediately confirmed but several planes had trouble landing at the airport at the time of the crash. FlyDubai’s Boeing 737-800 nosedived and exploded in a giant fireball before dawn on Saturday on the runway of Rostov-on-Don after trying to land for a second time in strong winds.
The black boxes were being analyzed in Moscow by experts from Russia, the United Arab Emirates and France, Russian officials said.
