Cockpit voice recorder of ill-fated EgyptAir place recovered
Cairo, Jun 17 (IBNS): Egyptian investigators said that search teams have, on Thursday, found the cockpit voice recorder of the EgyptAir flight that went missing over the Mediterranean in May has been found, according to media reports
Earlier on Thursday, the investigators had announced that the wreckage of the ill-fated place was found and mapping of the area was on.
Media reports, quoting the Egyptian Aircraft Accident Investigation Committee said that the cockpit voice recorder was recovered in "several stages" by the search vessel John Lethbridge, one of the two specialist vessels engaged in the search operations. Although the recorder showed signs of damage, its memory unit — "the most important in the recorder" — was intact.
The Airbus 320 aircraft, MS804, was flying from Paris to Cairo, with 66 people on board when it vanished from the Greek and Egyptian radar screens, without any distress calls, according to media reports.
The distribution of the wreckage is expected to provide clues if the aircraft broke up in mid-air or it broke up after falling in the sea.
