THE South Korean coast guard said today it had recovered the bodies of two pilots who went missing when their cargo plane crashed into the sea off the south coast in July.
The bodies of the 52-year-old chief pilot of the Asiana Airlines Boeing 744 and his 43-year-old co-pilot were found in waters off South Korea's southern Jeju island this morning, the coast guard said.
"Workers hired by Asiana Airlines discovered the front part of the aircraft, and two badly-decomposed bodies were stuck in the cockpit," a spokesman for the Jeju coast guard said, adding that the flight recorders had yet to be found.
The plane, which had taken off from Incheon headed for Shanghai, disappeared from the radar on July 28 after reporting a fire on board. Debris was later found in the sea west of Jeju.
Ever since the crash, Seoul-based Asiana had been searching for the bodies of the two pilots and the "black box" flight recorders in the hope they could provide clues about the cause of its first plane crash in nearly 20 years.
