SHANGHAI, Nov. 29 (UPI) -- Chinese officials say they have recovered the flight data recorder of a cargo plane that crashed Saturday in Shanghai, killing three Americans.
Local aviation authorities told the state-run Chinese news agency Xinhua that data recorded in the "black box" may not yield the cause of the crash at Shanghai's Pudong Airport.
Three Americans died and four more were injured in the crash. The injured are from the United States, Indonesia, Belgium and Zimbabwe and have been listed in stable condition at the People's Hospital of Pudong, the news agency said.
Runway lights that were destroyed in the crash are being replaced, after which local officials will check the runway's safety before reopening it, Xinhua reported.
It said the crashed MD-ll plane was owned by Avient Aviation, a freight charter airline based in Zimbabwe, and was scheduled to fly from Shanghai to the Bishkek Manas International Airport in Kyrgyzstan.
