The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) says it has recovered the flight data recorder (FDR) from the Atlas Air Boeing 767 Freighter that crashed in Trinity Bay in Anahuac, Texas, on 23 February.
The NTSB said on its Twitter account that the FDR is being transported to NTSB labs in Washington DC for evaluation. The NTSB posted images (pictured above) of the FDR on its Twitter account.
Recordings from the FDR will allow investigators to find out what happened prior to the freighter’s crash.
