Confusion over China plane crash black box
China's official Xinhua news agency has contradicted earlier reports signalling the discovery of the second black box from the downed China Eastern Airlines jet that plunged into a mountainside with 132 people on board. Xinhua reported the box had not yet been recovered, despite CAAC News - a publication managed by the country's aviation regulator - earlier reporting the flight data recorder had been found. It later deleted the news post from its official social media platforms. The cockpit voice recorder from the plane, which plunged into a mountainside with 132 people on board, was recovered on Thursday. Debris from the jetliner including engine blades, horizontal tail stabilisers and other wing remnants was concentrated within 30 metres of the main impact point, which was 20 metres deep. One 1.3 metre-long fragment suspected to be from the plane was found about 10km away, prompting a significant expansion of the search area, officials told a news briefing. <br/>
