Deep-water recovery specialists today retrieved the black boxes of a Yemeni aircraft that plunged into the Indian Ocean off the Comoros archipelago in June.
"The flight data recorders of the Yemenia Airbus A310-300 has been recovered and brought on board the [recovery] vessel," chief investigator Mohamed Ali Abdou said.
Only one person out of 153 on board survived the crash, which happened as the aircraft attempted to land in bad weather on the final leg of a trip from France to the Comoros.
The black boxes are expected to shed light on the cause of the crash, which officials say remains unknown.
