This photo released by the Prime Minister's office shows the tail of a Metrojet plane that crashed in Hassana, Egypt on Saturday, Oct. 31, 2015. The Russian aircraft carrying 224 people crashed Saturday in a remote mountainous region in the Sinai Peninsula about 20 minutes after taking off from a Red Sea resort popular with Russian tourists, the Egyptian government said. There were no survivors. There were more airline deaths worldwide due to deliberate acts in 2015 than to accidental air crashes for the second year in a row, according to an industry tally.

Cairo- An official states Egyptian investigators have actually begun evaluating the cockpit voice recorder from an EgyptAir plane that crashed in the Mediterranean Sea last month, killing all 66 people on board.

The official with the committee said on Friday that investigators have started processing the recorder, which arrived in Cairo overnight from the crash site. The official could not be named because they were not authorised to brief the media.

The EgyptAir Airbus A320 was en route to Cairo from Paris when it crashed on May 19 between the Greek island of Crete and the Egyptian coast.

Officials say the so called “black box” – one of the two on board the plane – has been damaged but that the vessel searching for the wreckage managed to safely recover the memory unit.
