News services report tht flight recorder was found yesterday. Also that the last contact at 18:20 on Friday was one of the crew reporting they were on (final?) approach. ATC then instructed them to break off approach to give way to a Boeing (737?), also on approach. The EMB-120 was in a gradual turn to the right when it disappeared from radar.
Earlier reports of flares being fired from the crash site were, apparently, based on reports by helicopter crews having seen lights beneath the forest canopy, lit by villagers who reached the site first.
