YANGON, July 18 (Xinhua) -- Vertical wind, downburst and icing are the most likely reasons for Myanmar's military airplane crash in June, the Office of Commander-in-Chief of Defense Services said late Tuesday.
With the help of international cooperation, the authorities have been trying to ascertain the plane crash based on the two black boxes - flight data recorder and cockpit voice recorder which were retrieved on June 18.
With a load of 2.4 tons of cargo and 122 people aboard, including 108 military personnel and their family members and 14 crew members, the aircraft of the Myanmar Air Force lost contact with the ground shortly after taking off from Myeik on June 7.
The plane crashed in the Andaman Sea off the southern Tanintharyi region on a flight to Yangon. So far, a total of 92 bodies of victims have been recovered.
