PARIS — French investigators today recovered the cockpit voice recorder from an Air France flight that plunged into the Atlantic Ocean almost two years ago, killing all 228 people on board.
The machine that records cockpit conversations was located Monday and raised from the ocean depths today, according to BEA, the French agency that probes air accidents.
The plane’s flight data recorder was pulled out on Sunday, meaning both pieces critical to determining the cause of the June 1, 2009, crash have now been found. The memory unit was found by a submarine probing 12,800 feet below the ocean’s surface.
