EgyptAIr MH804 - voice recorder confirms fire theory

Investigators had earlier said that the other “black box” retrieved from the site had confirmed smoke alarms had sounded onboard and there are signs of soot on parts of the wreckage which had indicated a fire.
“The committee had ... started listening to the cockpit voice recordings before the occurrence of the accident; where the existence of ‘fire’ was mentioned,” the committee said in a statement.
“Still it is too early to determine the reason or the place where that fire started,” it said.
The data recorder points to smoke signals indicating fires in the lavatory and avionics section of the plane, according to the committee.
Egyptian investigators have confirmed the aircraft made a 90-degree left turn followed by a 360-degree turn to the right before hitting the sea.
The Airbus A320 was carrying 40 Egyptians from Paris to Cairo. There were 15 French, two Iraqis, two Canadians and one passenger each from Algeria, Belgium, Britain, Chad, Portugal, Saudi Arabia and Sudan.
The latest committee statement also said the search for the remains of passengers has ended.
