Investigators are analyzing the contents of the crashed Tu-154’s black box, which reportedly includes a recording of the cockpit in the crew’s final moments. A source close to the investigation told Life News of the exact final words uttered there.

In the final recording of the cockpit before the crash the pilot can be heard yelling “the flaps, damn it!” followed by “Commander, we’re going down!” according to Life News, citing its source.

That has not however been officially confirmed.

All the Russian Defense Ministry has said so far is that the data obtained from the flight recorder allows the causes of the plane crash to be narrowed down.

Tu-154’s main flight data recorder was salvaged 17 meters below the surface of the Black Sea earlier on Tuesday, and its contents are now being decoded at the Ministry of Defense’s Air Force Research Center on the outskirts of Moscow.
