The runway-numbers drop the LAST, not the 1st, numeral,
Runway numbers are assigned based on a clockwise 360° radial, dropping the first number.
so, as the above informative-post stated, 10-degrees is runway 1,
180-degrees is runway 18, etc…
( I make mistakes like that too, so nobody blame them, ok? : )

PS: black-boxes are REQUIRED by the US’s FAA ( & the EU’s equivalent, ttbomk ) to have backup-power for themselves, & I can’t remember how many minutes of backup-power they’re required to have, but it’s something like 20-minutes? 40?
For the black-box to have lost power 4-minutes before the crash…

Yes, thank you, i meant what you wrote, but said the opposite. A not infrequent error, sadly
I had forgotten about the battery backup. I’m not sure what the law is in S. Korea and surrounding countries. If the accident plane only flew in Asia and none of the destination countries required that equipment they may not have had backup batteries for the CVR/FDR. Dunno about any of that tho

Something’s VERY screwy, there…
Possible sabotage, even…
