From Morning Report, 6:42 am on 13 March 2024

Nervous passengers last night boarded a LATAM airlines flight for Santiago - still not knowing what caused Monday's terrifying midair nose-dive. 

The Boeing 787 Dreamliner suddenly lost altitude on a flight from Sydney to Auckland - sending passengers flying around the cabin and injuring 50.

When it landed at Auckland 45 minutes later, twelve people were taken to hospital, including a child. 

Maia Ingoe has more.

New Zealand authorities have secured the black box data from the LATAM flight from Sydney to Auckland on Monday. 

New Zealand's Transport Accident Investigation Commission says it is assisting Chilean authorities.
