EgyptAir crash: On-board recording discusses fire

An audio recording made on board an EgyptAir flight that crashed in the Mediterranean Sea in May discusses a fire, investigators say.

An Egyptian-led team said on Saturday that the information was found on a cockpit flight recording.

But the investigative committee said it was too early to say where or why the fire broke out.

All 66 people on board died when flight MS804, flying from Paris to Cairo, crashed on 19 May.

The new information appears to back up evidence from the flight recorder of smoke in the cabin.

Recovered wreckage also showed signs of high temperature damage and soot on the jet's front section...
