STORY: :: FileThe two back boxes on the Jeju passenger jet that crashed last month in South Korea stopped recording four minutes before the accident. That's according to a statement released on Saturday by the country’s Ministry of Transport, which added authorities now plan to investigate why they stopped recording. It’s a setback for investigators who believed the flight data and cockpit voice recorders were key to finding the cause of the worst aviation disaster on South Korean soil.:: Lee Geun-youngThe plane, which had departed the Thai capital Bangkok for Muan in southwestern South Korea on December 29, crash-landed and burst into flames after overshooting the regional airport’s runway. Just minutes before the crash, the pilot reported a bird strike. Just two cabin crew survived and 179 people were killed. The recovered voice recorder was initially analyzed in South Korea, but when data was found to be missing, it was sent to a U.S. laboratory.One former accident investigator at the transport ministry suggested the cause of the missing data could be a loss of all power, including backup, though this was very rare.
