Black box of ill-fated EgyptAir Flight MS804 repaired

A French ship has claimed it has picked up signals presumed to be from black boxes of the ill-fated EgyptAir 804 flight which crashed into the Mediterranean Sea two Thursday’s ago.

Efforts to find the black box have intensified according to an Egyptian investigation committee ahead of the expected arrival of another vessel from Mauritius-based Deep Ocean Search to help retrieve the devices.

John Lethbridge, in a statement it said that the second ship, will join the search team later this week.

Reports say investigators are facing a race against time to find out what happened to doomed EgyptAir flight 804 before the plane’s black boxes fall silent.
