After 33 days of search, flight data recorder of missing Dornier aircraft found

Chennai: In a major breakthrough in the search for the Donier aircraft, the flight data recorder of the missing Indian Coast Guard plane was recovered on Friday.

After 33 days of search operation scouring sea and land areas, the flight data recorder was found today at around 3:30 pm.

The Coast Guard Dornier plane, CG-791, had taken off for a routine maritime surveillance sortie in coastal Tamil Nadu on June 8.

It was believed to have crashed into the sea near the Goa coast and since then was untraceable despite the Coast Guard and the Navy undertaking a massive search operation in the sea and the land areas.
