France’s Bureau of Enquiry and Analysis for Civil Aviation Safety (BEA) said on Saturday that its experts had downloaded data from the cockpit voice recorder (CVR) of the Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft that crashed minutes after takeoff from Addis Ababa last week.
“Data from the CVR has been successfully downloaded by @BEA_Aero and transferred to the Ethiopian investigation team / communication on their behalf / @BEA_Aero did not listen to the audio files”, BEA wrote on Twitter.
The Nairobi-bound Boeing 737 MAX 8 of the Ethiopian Airlines crashed early on Sunday. All 157 people from 35 countries who were on board were killed. The causes of the accident are yet to be investigated.
