Lebanese Red Cross workers, carry the body of one of eight victims who were recovered Sunday from the Ethiopian airplane that crashed in the sea on Jan. 25, into the Rafik Hariri Hospital in Beirut, Lebanon, on Sunday Feb. 7, 2010. Lebanon's marine commandos on Sunday recovered the black box of the Ethiopian Airlines jet that crashed into the Mediterranean last month, the Lebanese army said in a statement.
Lebanese authorities say a black box recovered from the wreckage of the Ethiopian Airlines jet that crashed into the Mediterranean last month has been flown to France for analysis. The Boeing 737 crashed Jan. 25 minutes after takeoff from Beirut, killing all 90 people on board.
An official at Beirut airport said a private jet owned by the Lebanese prime minister left for Paris Monday carrying the flight data recorder. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media.
Lebanese authorities have said the black box will be analyzed by BEA, a French agency that specializes in assisting with technical investigations of air crashes. The plane's other black box, the cockpit flight recorder, has not been recovered.
