Black boxes from South Korea plane crash failed to record final 4 minutes, officials say
The transportation ministry said it wasn’t immediately clear why the devices failed to record data in the last four minutes.

Boeing at it again?
I don't know, I doubt these recorders are made by the aircraft companies.
Aren't they mostly self-contained units, and just connected to aircraft power to maintain their batteries?
I'm a lot more suspicious.
Their power supply comes from the plane so they stopped recording because power delivery was not designed faile safe. Now guess who designed the power supply?
