Investigators located on Friday the third flight recorder of the Tu-154 jet that crashed at Domodedovo Airport on Dec. 4, killing two and injuring 60 of the 167 people on board, Interfax reported.
The audio recorder was lodged under the plane’s nose, which broke off in the crash, an Investigative Committee spokesman said. The Interstate Aviation Committee began to examine its data Friday, hoping for clues to determine what caused the plane’s three engines to fail, prompting the pilots to make an emergency landing.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
