they have found an emergency location transmitter from the plane
that had been close to where the second black box - the flight
data recorder - had been installed, Zhu Tao, director of the
Aviation Safety Office of the Civil Aviation Administration of
China, told reporters.
The team is also seeking the data module from the flight data
recorder itself.
The other black box, the cockpit voice recorder, was found on
Wednesday and has been sent to Beijing for examination by
experts.
Flight MU5735 was travelling from the southwestern city of
Kunming to Guangzhou on the coast on Monday when the Boeing
737-800 plummeted from cruising altitude to crash in a heavily
forested area of Guangxi region.
No survivors have been found.
A total of 120 people have been identified from samples taken
from the site, said Zheng Xi, head of Guangxi's fire and rescue
department. None of the main components of common explosives
were detected in the crash debris, he said.
