Air India: Investigators find cockpit voice recorder from crashed flight | BBC News

Investigators have recovered the cockpit voice recorder (CVR) from the crashed Air India flight, a key step in uncovering what caused last week's deadly accident. The London‑bound Air India aircraft, a Boeing 787‑8 Dreamliner, crashed soon after taking off on Thursday from the western Indian city of Ahmedabad. At least 270 people were killed, most of them passengers. The CVR captures audio from the cockpit, including pilot conversations, alarms and ambient sounds.
