CAIRO — The cockpit voice recorder from the EgyptAir flight that crashed in the Mediterranean last month has been recovered, according to a statement Thursday by Egyptian investigators.

The recovery of the so-called black box came a day after the Egyptian Aircraft Accident Investigation Committee announced that searchers had found wreckage from the doomed Flight 804 scattered along the seabed. The French Bureau of Investigations and Analyses at the civil aviation authority confirmed that the cockpit voice recorder had been found.

All 66 people aboard the Airbus A320 jetliner bound for Cairo from Paris were killed in the still-unexplained crash on May 19, as the plane was near the end of its trip, in Egyptian airspace.

The investigation committee said in a statement that the cockpit voice recorder had been found in a “damaged state.” A team aboard the search vessel John Lethbridge, owned by Deep Ocean Search, was able to recover parts of the recorder, including its memory card.
