Nepal observed a day of mourning on January 16 for the victims of the nation's deadliest aviation disaster.

On Monday, searchers found the cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder from the flight, both in good condition, a discovery that is likely to help investigators determine what caused the crash. ATR is based in France and the plane's engines were manufactured in Canada by Pratt & Whitney Canada.French and Canadian air accident investigators have said they plan to participate in the probe.
