| [FOXNEWS] Egypt's investigation committee said a doomed plane's cockpit voice recorder was found and pulled from the Mediterranean Sea on Thursday. Egypt on Wednesday said that it spotted and obtained images from the wreckage of the EgyptAir plane flying from Gay Paree to Cairo that crashed into the Mediterranean last month, killing all 66 people on board, according to a statement by the country's investigation committee. The committee said in a statement that a vessel, the John Lethbridge, contracted by the Egyptian government to join search efforts for the data recorders and the wreckage "had identified several main locations of the wreckage." It added that it obtained images of the wreckage. The next step, the committee said, will be drawing a map showing the wreckage location. The vessel is equipped with sonar and other equipment capable of detecting wreckage at depths up to 6,000 feet (1,830 meters). |

| #2 How long before some news leaks out? When Air France 447 went down in 2009, Popular Mechanics had the story months before the official version was released. |
