Rescuers have found the second flight recorder from the crashed Il-76 in the Irkutsk region, the Emergencies Ministry told TASS on Sunday.
"The rescuers have found two recorders - the data and the cockpit recorders," the source said.

The flight recorders will be given to the Interstate Aviation Committee (IAC) for further studies. IAC told TASS the studies will be in Moscow in the Committee’s laboratory.

Earlier on Sunday, reports said rescuers found the missing fire-fighting Il-76 plane four kilometers south of the Rybny Uyan settlement on the slope of a hill, where they found body fragments and one of the two flight recorders. The Emergency Ministry says the big damage at the site prompts the crew of ten people could not survive the catastrophe.
