BEIRUT — Search crews have located the black box under parts of the tail of the Ethiopian Airlines jet that crashed into the Mediterranean Sea last month, Lebanon’s transportation minister said Saturday.
The Boeing 737 crashed Jan. 25 minutes after takeoff from Beirut in a thunderstorm. All 90 people on board died.
Transportation Minister Ghazi Aridi said the black box has been located at a depth of 150 feet just south of Beirut airport.
“Its location has been determined and efforts are under way to find the best means to retrieve it,” he said.
Fifteen bodies have been recovered from the sea since the crash. No new bodies were found Saturday.
