Five days following the mysterious crash of a Chinese airliner with 132 people on board, the identity of 120 dead has been clarified. The chief of the Guangxi region fire department, Zheng Xi, reported on Saturday that 114 passengers and six crew members had been precisely assigned, according to the Beijing Aviation Administration. No traces of explosives were found under debris during laboratory tests.
Flight recorder missing
Rescue work continued at the crash site in a hilly area near the southern Chinese city of Wuzhou. However, the data flight recorder has not yet been found, only the voice recorder. It was damaged but relatively complete. Investigators hope the black box will provide technical information and other important data on the cause of the Boeing 737-800 crash.
