Flight Data Recorder Recovered From Pakistani Accident

Data Will Be Analyzed By An Outside Government, Pakistan Says

The flight data recorder (FDR) from an airliner which went down during a storm Wednesday near Islamabad, Pakistan, has been recovered in apparently good condition, according to Pakistani authorities.

On Wednesday, an Airblue A321 jet went down in poor weather in the hills overlooking the Pakistani capital. All 152 people on board the aircraft were lost.

The newspaper "The Daily Caller" reports that the FDR was recovered during an effort that has been plauged by rain and mud. A lack of proper roads leading to the crashsite have also hampered efforts. The area is heavily wooded hills, and is largely undeveloped.

The paper reports that Pakistan does not have the proper expertise to analyze the data on the FDR, but it has not determined which government it would ask to do the analysis.

In its initial investigation, the Civil Aviation Authority of Pakistan said the pilot had been given an alternate approach to the runway in Islamibad, but apparently veered off course during the apporach.
