Nigeria's air safety agency has opened a formal investigation into the emergency landing of a commercial aircraft on a roadway in Asaba, and investigators say they have already recovered the flight recorders from the aircraft.
The bureau describes the recovery of those recorders as a major step toward understanding what happened during the flight from Lagos to Asaba. The black boxes are expected to give investigators a clearer picture of the sequence of events before the plane came down on the road.
For now, the full circumstances of the landing remain under review as the probe gets underway.
