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.
