Two pilots are in trouble after a scary crash in Libya. Officials say the pair was drunk while flying a brand-new private jet.
The plane crashed while landing at Misrata Airport. The impact caused significant damage to the aircraft. Thankfully, investigators have now found the plane’s "black boxes."
Black boxes are special devices that record everything that happens inside the cockpit and how the plane is flying. These devices are being sent to a specialized center to be decoded. This will help officials understand exactly what went wrong during the flight and the landing.
Local authorities have arrested both pilots while they investigate the incident. The crash has drawn international attention because the jet was brand new and the pilots are accused of being under the influence of alcohol during the flight.
