Black Box of crashed Bristow helicopter found, AIB says
The Black Box of the Bristow helicopter that crashed into the Lagos lagoon on Wednesday has been found.
The Commissioner of the Accident Investigation Bureau (AIB), Felix Abali, made the announcement on Friday.
The box contains the cockpit voice and the flight data recorders. It will give insight into what transpired on the flight which crashed five minutes before its expected 3:35 p.m. landing.
Only six of the 12 people on board the chopper survived.
The other six, including 26-year-old Nigerian co-pilot Peter Bello, lost their lives in the tragedy.
The cause of the crash is yet to be ascertained. The black box will help investigators unravel that.
