A major plane accident occurred in Muan city of South Korea. 179 people died in this accident. This is the most gruesome plane accident ever in South Korea. Earlier, an Azerbaijan Airlines plane had crashed in Aktau city of Kazakhstan, in which 38 people were killed. After these plane accidents, the question arises that what is done with the debris of the crashed plane? Is the debris left at the scene? Let us know…
You must have heard about the black box installed in airplanes. After an accident, the first thing the army or government searches for is the black box. Actually, black box is a device which records many information related to the plane during the accident. Therefore, after the crash of any plane, its debris is most important to know the cause of the accident. That’s why governments try their best to find the wreckage of the plane. This can be gauged from the fact that recently a proposal of $70 million has been agreed to find the wreckage of a Malaysia Airlines plane after 10 years.
What is the first thing to be done after a plane crash
After any plane crashes, emergency services are activated first. After this, the area where the plane crashed is completely sealed, so that the evidence of the crash cannot be tampered with. During this time, common people and even the media are stopped from reaching the spot. The agencies inspect the debris and search for devices like flight data recorder, cockpit voice recorder, so that the cause of the accident can be revealed.
What is done with the debris after investigation
Even after all the investigations related to the accident are completed, the debris is not just left alone. The concerned agency separates useful parts from the debris of the plane after the accident. They are tested in the lab, so that they can be reused. However, the scrap that remains is auctioned.
