Investigators yesterday examined the flight data recorder and engines of a plane that crashed near a luxurious coastal resort in north-eastern Brazil, killing a British-born businessman and 13 others.

Crews found the data recorder at the crash site on Saturday. Moments before hitting the ground, the pilot reported that "visual and landing conditions were normal". -Sapa-AP
