Aircraft Records

Hi everyone,
Regarding the horrific Spanair crash yesterday, when an aircraft crashes, what happens to the records of that aircraft? Do the CAA or EASA take the docs from tech records straight away?
I ask this because according to the press the MD82 had problems on initial pushback which the engineers sorted out, and signed off I guess. Then an engine failed on takeoff roll, or just after. I'm just wondering whether the CAA would have seized the records as soon as it happened.

Sorry if this is an 'amateurish' question.
Thanks,
JS
