Egyptian investigators say the memory chips of the cockpit voice recorders of the EgyptAir flight that crashed in May are intact, allowing access to the recordings. The plane's flight data recorder showed there was smoke in the lavatory and onboard equipment. Egyptian investigators plan to return to Cairo with the black boxes to continue analyzing their contents. The flight from Paris to Cairo crashed into the Mediterranean, killing all 66 people on board, for reasons that remain unknown. The pilots made no distress call, and no militant group has claimed responsibility for the crash.
