Tehran, July 22: A senior Iranian aviation official says that it will take two months to discover the cause of the recent plane crash in northwestern Iran.
Ahmad Majidi, the head of a working group investigating the cause of the crash of Caspian Airlines Flight 7908, noted that the search teams have not yet managed to find the Tupolev plane’s Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR), which is essential for finding the cause of the crash, the Mehr News Agency reported.
He stated that the plane crashed like a missile, and consequently no cockpit parts have been recovered yet.
The passenger plane crashed near the city of Qazvin on Wednesday on its way to Armenia. All 168 people aboard were killed.
