Investigators from Russia’s Interstate Aviation Committee along with experts from France and the United Arab Emirates began the process of retrieving information from the flight data recorder recovered from the FlyDubai Boeing 737-800 that crashed in southern Russia Saturday morning, killing all 62 on board. Although both the CVR and FDR suffered damage in the crash, experts managed to repair a broken cable in the FDR, allowing them to study the memory module and retrieve its data, according to Russia’s official TASS news agency. Efforts to retrieve a recording from the more heavily damaged CVR continue.
