Black boxes from Yemenia Airways flight damaged
Paris: France's accident investigation agency says the black boxes from a Yemenia Airways flight that crashed into the Indian Ocean in June are damaged.
The Bureau of Investigations and Analysis, or BEA, says it's still trying to recover the information held in the flight's black boxes.
In a statement on Friday, the agency said, "At this stage, no explanation for the possible causes of the accident is yet possible."
The French agency said experts began examining the boxes from the Airbus 310 plane on Monday.
The boxes were fished out of deep waters northwest of Grand Comoros island late last month by underwater robots.
Yemenia Flight 626 from Paris to Moroni, the capital of Comoros, plunged into the ocean June 30, killing 152 people. Only a teenage girl survived the crash.
