Strong, shifting currents frustrated efforts to find the “black boxes” from a China Airlines jet that broke up over the Taiwan Strait, killing the 225 people aboard.
For the second time since Saturday’s crash, investigators announced that they had picked up beacon signals from the cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder, only to say hours later that they were mistaken.
“We were very upset, but we’ll regroup and thoroughly plan out what to do next,” said David Lee, the lead investigator for Taiwan’s Aviation Safety Council.
Lee said currents might have carried the recorders away from where officials thought they were.
