The flight data recorder, which was buried some 40m from the main crash site near Wuzhou in southern China, was unearthed on Sunday morning. State media reported the device has been sent to Beijing for analysis.The Boeing Co 737-800 NG appears to have largely disintegrated, and more than 33,700 pieces of debris have been recovered. Chinese state media said the crash left a crater 20 meters deep.
Countries leading an aircraft accident investigation must produce a preliminary report within 30 days of the incident, according to United Nations standards governing the aviation industry. A full report is expected within 12 months. One week after the incident, politics risks complicating the investigation into the tragedy.
