Voice recorder of EgyptAir plane recovered

The cockpit voice recorder from the EgyptAir flight that crashed last month has been found in the Mediterranean Sea, Egyptian investigators said Thursday.

A vessel owned by Mauritius-based Deep Ocean Search was able to salvage the damaged voice voice recorder from the black box.

Flight MS804 from Paris to Cairo crashed into the Mediterranean in May with 66 people on board, all of whom died.

More wreckage had been found Wednesday.

BEA, France’s aviation security agency, revealed earlier this week that the plane had transmitted messages showing smoke inside the cabin before it crashed. Egypt’s investigation committee added that radar images showed the plane swerved violently and changed direction, then turned 360 degrees before crashing.

No official cause of the crash has been revealed, though investigators believe it was a terror attack.
