FlyDubai black boxes damaged in crash that killed 62 in Russia
Russian aviation officials say it's going to be very difficult to extract data from the black boxes of the FlyDubai flight that crashed in southern Russia because they're so badly damaged. The Boeing 737-800 from Dubai nosedived and exploded in a giant fireball short of the Rostov-on-Don airport runway at 3:42 a.m. Closed-circuit TV footage showed the plane going down at a steep angle and exploding upon impact. The crash scattered debris and left a large crater in the runway. The plane was trying to land for a second time in poor weather.
