Second black box recovered

Search teams have found the second flight data recorder of the Yemenia jet that crashed off the Comoros islands on June 30, killing 152 people, the chief investigator said.

The Cockpit Voice Recorder had been located and operations set to retrieve it, Ali Abdou Mohamed said.

On Friday, they retrieved the Flight Data Recorder with the help of a specially-equipped French vessel scouring an Indian Ocean zone where the depth is estimated at 1,200m.

“The two flight recorders… will be sent in the coming days to the Investigation and Analysis Bureau in Bourget (France) where they will be studied in the presence of the investigations team members,” Mohamed said.

The sole survivor was Bahia Bakari, pictured, a 13-year-old who clung to floating debris for hours before being rescued.
