The CVR, which provides conversation details between the pilot and air traffic control and within the cockpit, and the FDR or the 'Black Box', containing technical data, were removed from the wreckage of the Boeing 737-800 aircraft this morning, the airline sources said.
Teams, probing the worst air tragedy in the country in a decade, had begun their operations early this morning to locate the CVR and the FDR, they said.
Certain other instruments and aircraft portions, which would be of help in the investigation, have also been extricated from the plane's debris, they said.
