Karachi (HRNW) The missing cockpit voice recorder of the PIA PK-8303 that crashed on May 22 has finally been found, the airline confirmed Thursday.

Ninety-seven passengers were killed and two survived after the plane crashed in Karachi’s Model Colony. The recorder was found from the debris and has been handed over to the Aircraft Accident Investigation Board.

“The CVR records the communication happening in the cockpit,” explained PIA spokesperson Abdullah Hafeez Khan.

The debris was not removed from the Model Colony because we were waiting for the Airbus team to come and examine the site, he said. An 11-member team has flown in from France to help the government investigate the crash. “When the team allowed us to remove the debris, we found the CVR there,” he said.
