Brasilia: The flight records for the Embraer aircraft that crashed in Kazakhstan last week are being sent to Brazil for data extraction, according to a statement from the Brazilian Air Force on Monday.
The flight data and cockpit voice recorder data will be analyzed at a laboratory in Brasilia, Brazil’s capital. The process will be closely monitored by investigators from Kazakhstan, Russia, and Azerbaijan, the statement added. Once the data is processed, it will be forwarded to Kazakhstan for further investigation.
The crash, which occurred last Wednesday near the city of Aktau in Kazakhstan, tragically resulted in the deaths of 38 people. The aircraft, operated by Azerbaijan Airlines, was forced to divert from southern Russia due to attacks by Ukrainian drones. The plane ultimately went down in a ball of fire after being hit by Russian air defenses.
