Baotou Air Crash
A Shanghai-bound passenger plane crashed on Nov 21 into a frozen lake in Inner Mongolia within seconds of takeoff, killing all 53 people aboard and a worker on the ground.

A rescue worker holds the second flight data recorder, or known as the "black box", of the crashed CRJ-200 jet, which was salvaged out of the lake in Baotou, north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Nov. 24, 2004.
