God I hate the rise of clickbait, articles are getting less and less useful as time goes on.
Two local men may have solved the mystery of a flight that crashed into the Andes mountains 31 years ago. According to a blog post written by Dan Futrell, of Cambridge, he and Isaac Stoner, of Somerville, have located the missing “black boxes” from Eastern Airlines Flight 980, a Boeing 727 that was flying from Paraguay to Florida on Jan. 1, 1985, when it crashed into Mount Illimani, Bolivia’s second-highest point. All 29 people on board died.
Success. Sort of.
The pieces Futrell and Stoner found were a part of the recorders’ casings. So there’s still no answer as to why Flight 980 crashed.
“There is more work to do, but we’re happy to say we’ve done what we came to do: located and recovered the recorders of Flight 980,” wrote Futrell. “Stay tuned for future developments as we learn more. We still hope that this trip might provide some answers.”
