(CNN) - The cockpit voice recorder for EgyptAir Flight 804 has been found but is damaged, an Egyptian investigative committee said Thursday, a day after the government said it found the wreckage of the ill-fated flight.
"The device was damaged and the retrieval process was conducted in several stages," the committee said in a statement.
It said a vessel used equipment to pick up the memory unit, which is considered the recorder's most important part.

The recorder is being transferred to Alexandria, Egypt, for the investigation, the statement said.

Searchers haven't found the other "black box," the flight data recorder, which gathers 25 hours of technical data from the airplane's sensors, recording several thousand distinct pieces of information. Among the details investigators could uncover is information about the plane's air speed, altitude, engine performance and wing positions.
