Egypt Air Flight 804 Black Box Found, Pulled From Sea
COCKPIT VOICE RECORDER RETRIEVED FROM SEA
Story Is Developing...
CAIRO — One of the two "black boxes" has been recovered from the wreckage of Egyptair Flight MS804 which crashed in the Mediterranean Sea, investigators said Thursday. The cockpit voice recorder — which could yield vital clues about the cause of the disaster — was damaged but retrieved "in several stages," the Egyptian Aircraft Accident Investigation Committee said in a statement.
It will be handed over to technicians "to carry out analysis and unload the voice conversations," it said. The statement made no mention of the other "black box," the flight data recorder. The wreckage of the Airbus A320 was pinpointed on the ocean floor late Wednesday, almost a month after it crashed on route from Paris to Cairo with 66 people aboard.
