The data of the Egyptair liner recorder confirmed the version of smoking on board
The data of one of the on -board recorders and the analysis of the fragments of the airliner Egyptair, which collapsed into the Mediterranean Sea, indicated a smoke on board the aircraft shortly before the fall. According to The Independent, this was reported in the collapse commission.
According to experts, smoke was recorded in the toilet and department of Avionics. Previously, traces of thermal damage and dense black smoke were found on the raised fragments of the aircraft.
According to the commission, seven minutes before the loss of communication, the registrars gave a signal about problems in several places. They all talked about increasing temperature or smoke.
Experts continue to restore the sound recorder. "Preliminary information shows that the flight was recorded on an on -board self -writer from the moment of take -off from the Airport Charles de Gaulle, until the record stopped at an altitude of 11 thousand meters where the accident occurred," the statement said.
The commission also noted that search groups continue to extract the remains of passengers from the bottom of the sea. The work will continue until all the remains of the victims of the disaster are raised to the surface.
The fact that, probably, a fire occurred on board the liner, experts declared at the end of May. According to the indications of the address and reporting system of aviation communications (ACARS), the smoke detector worked in one of the liner toilets, and a minute later the smoke sensor in the electronic compartment worked. A few minutes later, the connection with the plane was lost.
Information on smoke was then confirmed by experts of the French Bureau for the Investigation and Analysis of Civil Aviation Security.
The passenger plane of the Egyptair, which was from Paris to Cairo by the MS804 flight, disappeared from the radar early on the morning of May 19 over the Mediterranean Sea in the airspace of Egypt. On board were 66 passengers and crew members.
