Helicopter's black box recovered | |
(about 21 hours later) | |
The black box flight recorder and missing tail section of the helicopter which ditched in the North Sea have been brought ashore in Aberdeen. | |
They were found on Monday afternoon and are being taken to the Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) in Farnborough for examination. | |
Investigators hope the wreckage will give them some indication as to the cause of the ditching. | |
All 18 people onboard the Super Puma survived the incident. | |
The helicopter's fuselage was recovered at the weekend. | |
The aircraft, which was operated by Bond Offshore, came down about 125 miles east of Aberdeen last Wednesday. | |
Workers on the BP oil platform which should have been the flight's destination saw the helicopter ditch. | |
Those on board have praised the crew and their rescuers. |
