Chilean authorities started an investigation into a mid-air plunge by a Latam flight en route to Auckland from Sydney that hospitalized at least 10 people.

Chile’s accident investigation authority is responsible for the probe and has asked New Zealand for help, the Wellington-based Transport Accident Investigation Commission said in a statement Tuesday. The TAIC, as it’s called, said it’s gathering evidence and is seizing the aircraft’s cockpit voice and flight data recorders.
