Perhaps someone can shed some light on this discrepancy

Hi, new here and have been following this thread since the beginning. there is a discrepancy with info posted I have trouble with.

Two days ago:

"Before the moment of the disappearance of the aircraft from radar screens, sounds are recorded which are not characteristic of a normal flight," Interfax quoted an unnamed security source in Cairo as saying.

Today:

"The cockpit voice recorder has suffered serious mechanical damage," the committee said. "Now in Egypt, the preparatory work with participation of experts of the IAC and France’s BEA [the Bureau of Enquiry and Analysis for civil aviation safety] is being done to copy the recorded information, taking all possible precautionary measures."

The latter makes me wonder what was heard, provided the former info is correct. Or is it another case of "misinformation" attributable to an "unnamed source"?
