From the news:

Recovery teams in Brazil have located both the cockpit-voice and flight-data recorders from the Gol Boeing 737-800 which crashed in the Amazon on 29 September, apparently after a mid-air collision with a corporate jet.

Military personnel have been concentrating on removing the remains of victims from the crash site – near Peixoto de Azevedo in central Brazil – to the air base at Cachimbo.

But the Brazilian ministry of defence, aeronautics command, adds: “The voice recorder and digital data recorder of the Gol Boeing 737 have also been found – these will be sent to the accident inquiry commission to be analysed.”

None of the 155 occupants of the aircraft, operating domestic flight 1907 between Manaus and Brasilia, survived the crash which appears to have followed a mid-air collision with an Embraer Legacy business jet.
