Brazil examines black boxes of Azerbaijan Airlines crashed plane

Authorities examined the black boxes of the Azerbaijan Airlines plane that crashed on December 25 in Kazakhstan, killing 38 of the 67 people on board.

The Azerbaijan Airlines plane, an Embraer 190, crash-landed on Christmas Day as it flew to the Chechen capital Grozny in southern Russia.

The Brazilian Air Force said in a statement that the data from the recorders would be extracted and analyzed as soon as possible.

These devices captured cockpit dialogue and flight data from the plane. They are being examined by the Aeronautical Accidents Investigation and Prevention Center, a unit of the Brazilian Air Force.
