Black box of bus that plunged into Yangtze River found
    2018-11-01  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

THE black box of a bus which plunged into the Yangtze River in Chongqing was retrieved from the river early yesterday morning and handed to local traffic authorities for investigation.

The black box was salvaged at around 12:50 a.m. and turned over to the traffic police, CCTV reported.

The bus fell into the Yangtze River on Sunday and the death toll has risen to nine, local authorities said Tuesday.

The rescuers were preparing to salvage the bus yesterday.

Divers had found nine bodies and retrieved seven of them from the river in Chongqing City as of 4:45 p.m. Tuesday, according to the rescue headquarters.

Three bodies have been identified while the other four are undergoing DNA analysis.

A probe revealed that 15 people, including the driver, were on board the bus.

The bus veered onto the wrong side of the road and collided with an oncoming car before breaking through road fencing and falling off a bridge in Wanzhou District on Sunday.

With the help of sonar technology and underwater robots, the bus was found 73 meters underwater, according to Zhou Dongrong, from Shanghai Salvage Co., a State-run salvage firm.

But water hazards and limited underwater visibility have hindered rescue efforts.
