SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — The first report on last month’s Jeju Air crash in South Korea has confirmed traces of bird strikes in the plane’s engines, though officials haven’t determined the cause of the accident that killed all but two of the 181 people on board. The preliminary accident report released Monday said feathers and bird blood stains were found in both engines. It says a DNA analysis determined they belonged to migratory ducks. The report also says the plane’s black boxes stopped recording about 4 minutes before the crash.
