The reporter from the head office introduced the scene: the search and rescue area is more than 10 times larger than the core area

　　Today, search and rescue personnel are stepping up their search for the second black box of the "3.21" China Eastern Airlines flight accident.

The continuous rain at the scene made rescue work more difficult.

Rescuers continued to expand the search area and carried out a blanket search of the divided area.

At present, the black box location signal cannot be found at the scene.

　　CCTV reporter Zhang Tengfei: I am only about 100 meters away from the core area. From this road, we can see such a mountain, which was a flashpoint when the plane crashed.

On the other side of this hill is the core area that has been the focus of the previous two days; the col is the location of the crash site.

The main situation at the scene is that the rain is getting heavier and heavier, from last night to the present.

When we first arrived in this canal, there was basically no water in the canal, but now there is a lot of accumulated water, which means that whether in the core area or in other search areas, the rainfall has been causing the stream to continue. , the continuous downward flow of water makes the site more muddy and brings more difficulty to the search and rescue work.

Although this area is still some distance away from the core area of ​​the crash, the armed police search and rescue team in uniform has assembled here, and they will start a net search of the area next to me. The main task is to find the second a black box.

　　CCTV reporter Zhang Tengfei: This is also a map we just got from the headquarters.

In order to expand the search range today, the white circle on this map is the crash site in the Col, the most central area.

The yellow circle is the key area including the fire point of the wildfire.

Outside this area, there is marked area No. 123, which is the area where today's outer search team will focus on finding the black box.

The area where we are now is the No. 1 area on this map, and some farmland on our left is the No. 1 area on the map.

In fact, the search area has been expanded now. Judging from the pictures, the area has basically expanded by more than 10 times, and the local area is constantly sending firefighters and armed police and militia forces.

Our search team has already entered, and they are also trying their best to find relevant important objects.

　　Zhang Tengfei, a reporter from CCTV: I will give you a simple reminder. I am holding a 1:1 restoration model based on the picture of the black box of the crashed passenger plane given to us by experts.

This is what they are now looking for.

The second black box is the black box that records the flight data. The complete look should be like this.

However, by extracting the core components of the first black box at the scene yesterday, serious damage has actually occurred.

It is precisely because of this serious damage that experts told us that the black box originally had a transmitter with a radio beacon, but because the impact force was too great when the plane crashed, the transmitter should have been damaged at present, because relevant experts Multiple radio searches for beacon signals in the area have been carried out, but nothing has been found, so they conclude that the beacon transmitter with its own positioning function should have been destroyed.

So now everyone is trying their best. On the one hand, experts will conduct key excavations in the core area, and a lot of forces have been sent around to conduct large-scale search.

　　CCTV reporter Zhang Tengfei: In addition, we noticed that in addition to the black box search at the scene today, there is a new force coming in. They are now carrying multiple search and rescue dogs.

The 72-hour golden rescue time has not yet ended, so it should be said that the search and rescue work of personnel has not ended, and the search and rescue of personnel and the search for black boxes are carried out simultaneously.

Of course, we also hope to hear some new news as soon as possible, find the second key black box as soon as possible, and restore the truth of the accident as soon as possible.
