Global Aviation News Article |
| May 8, 2007 |
ITV.com (UK), "Kenya Airways Cameroon
plane crash black box found" |
Crash investigators
in Cameroon have found one of the black box data recorders from the Kenya
Airways plane which crashed on Saturday. It is thought the recorder may
help determine the cause of the crash which is believed to have killed
all 114 people on board, including five Britons. The investigation has
so far concentrated on the theory that the jetliner lost power in both
engines and tried to glide back to the airport before plunging into thick
mangrove swamps 12 miles from Douala airport.
The Nairobi-bound Boeing 737-800 sent a distress signal shortly after
take-off and then lost contact 11 to 13 minutes later. It took more
than 40 hours to find the wreckage, with most of it submerged in murky
orange-brown water and hidden by a thick canopy of trees. Speaking
on Monday at a news conference in Nairobi, Titus Naikuni, the chief
executive officer of Kenya Airways, said there was no confirmed information
regarding casualties or survivors, but added: "We will continue
to provide confirmed information as we receive it."
Debris at the crash
site is spread over a small area roughly the size of a football field with much
of it, including some hanging from trees, shredded beyond recognition. Workers
have been carrying bodies and body parts on stretchers for the 20-minute hike
through the swamp to ambulances parked as close as they could get. Officials
were initially unable to locate the crash site because of an incorrect satellite
signal, possibly emitted from the plane. But fishermen living in the swampy
mangroves near Douala airport reported hearing a loud sound at the
time of the crash. Kenya Airways is considered one of Africa's safest
airlines with the Douala-Nairobi flight running several times a week. |
