At the site of the crash of the Eastern Airlines plane, search crews look closely at the barrel with the word 'flight recorder' written on it.



It is a flight data recorder, one of the two black boxes installed on the plane.



[Chinese state-run CCTV report: Other parts of the recorder have been damaged, but the data storage part is relatively intact.]



Another black box, a cockpit voice recorder, was discovered on the 23rd and is being read.



As all black boxes were secured within a week after the accident on the 21st, the task of finding the cause of the crash of the plane that fell vertically is expected to gain momentum.



No signs of explosives were found in the wreckage.



Chinese authorities concluded that there were no survivors among the 132 people on board.



Authorities, who confirmed the identity of 120 victims through DNA analysis, etc., officially announced that "all passengers on the plane were dead."
