Flight records for the plane made by Brazil's Embraer that crashed last week in Kazakhstan are headed to the South American country so the data can be extracted, the Brazilian Air Force said in a statement on Monday.

Mobile phone footage circulating online appeared to show the Azerbaijani Airlines plane making a steep descent before slamming into the ground in a fireball in western Kazakhstan.

Flight records from the Embraer plane that crashed in Kazakhstan will be sent to Brazil for data extraction. Brazilian investigators will analyze the cockpit and flight data, with oversight from Kazakhstan,
