Vilnius: Investigators probing the deadly cargo plane crash in Lithuania found the aircraft's flight recorders on Tuesday, the justice ministry, as they sought to establish what caused the disaster.
The DHL plane coming from the German city of Leipzig crashed early Monday near the Vilnius airport, killing one crew member and raising questions over whether the tragedy could be connected to a recent series of sabotage cases.
The Baltic country's officials have been looking into alleged acts of incendiary devices being planted on cargo planes, but refrained from linking the crash to the ongoing probes.
Lithuania's justice ministry said in a statement that the flight recorders were "retrieved from the debris of the plane" at approximately 11:30 am (0930 GMT) on Tuesday.
Analysis of flight recorder data could supply critical clues over the crash of the aircraft, which skidded several hundred metres before hitting a residential building about one kilometre (0.6 miles) from the airport.
