TEHRAN — A small part of the cockpit voice recorder (CVR) of the
ill-fated Caspian Airlines Flight 7908 was found 15 meters below the
surface of the ground at the crash site on Thursday.

Ahmad Majidi, the head of the special working group investigating
the Caspian Airlines crash, said if the information in this part,
which is seriously damaged, is usable, then the search to find the
rest of the CVR will be halted.

Caspian Airlines Flight 7908 was en route to Yerevan, the Armenian
capital, when it crashed on July 15 in northwestern Iran, killing
all 153 passengers and 15 crew members. The plane, a Russian-made
Tupolev, went down 20 kilometers from the city of Qazvin about 15
minutes after takeoff from Tehran’s Imam Khomeini Airport.

Majidi also said that almost all the bodies of the victims have been
handed over to their families, and added that no family members have
yet been located to claim the remaining bodies.
