00:00 After an extensive 44-day search, the black box of the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement

00:07 Agency, or MMEA, AW139 helicopter, which made an emergency landing during a rescue exercise

00:14 near Pulau Angsa, Kuala Selangor last month, was located on Wednesday.

00:20 In a statement, MMEA Director General Admiral Datuk Hamid Mohamad Amin said that the black

00:25 box was discovered by the agency's rescue diving team after the helicopter's tail was

00:30 detected approximately 1.9 nautical miles south of Pulau Angsa, about 760 metres from

00:37 the crash site.

00:39 Following retrieval, the black box was sent to the laboratory for data analysis to determine

00:45 the precise cause of the incident.

00:47 Hamid said the analysis result is expected soon since the black box did not suffer severe

00:52 damage.

00:53 The Augusta Westland AW139 helicopter made the emergency landing in the water at approximately

01:00 9.55am on March 5 during the rescue exercise.
