'High-Temperature Damage' Found On EgyptAir Wreckage

Egyptian investigators said some parts from the front section of EgyptAir Flight MS 804 "showed signs of high-temperature damage and soot" after they were recovered from the Mediterranean seabed.
The finding adds credence to pre-crash telemetered Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS) messages indicating smoke in a lavatory and in the AirbusA320's avionics bay. The ACARS messages were confirmed in recovered flight data recorder (FDR) information from the aircraft.

Investigators have successfully downloaded all 1,200 parameters recorded by the FDR for the duration of the May 19 Paris-Cairo flight, which ended north of Egypt's coastline.

The recording stopped at the aircraft's cruising altitude of 37,000 ft., consistent with the point when the aircraft's Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast system also stopped sending position data to ground stations.

Officials continue to repair the cockpit voice recorder's memory module at the French aviation safety agency's laboratory. Meanwhile, recovery of aircraft parts and human remains continues at the crash site.
