Second flight recorder recovered

The Russian Defense Ministry said search teams have recovered another flight recorder from a military plane that crashed in the Black Sea, killing all 92 aboard.

The ministry said the second recorder was lifted from the seabed on Wednesday. The first flight recorder was found the previous day and experts have started analyzing its data to determine the crash's cause.

The Tu-154 of the Russian Defense Ministry crashed into the sea early on Sunday, two minutes after taking off in good weather from the city of Sochi. It was carrying members of the Alexandrov Ensemble, widely known as the Red Army Choir, to a New Year's concert at a Russian military base in Syria.
