seconds later, two clicks and two thumps)

the end of recording)

El Habashy: Pull. Pull with me. Pull with me. Pull with me.
According to investigators, the transcript ends here --- at
1:50 a.m. and 38 seconds EST --- as the aircraft starts to
descend from cruise altitude. Apparently, electrical power
to the recorder ended at that time.

The mystery with which the U.S. press has attempted to lull American
citizens on the events surrounding the crashes of TWA 800,
Swissair 111 (See The Mystery of SwissAir 111), Egyptair 990,
Silk Air, etc. is remarkable.
The demise of Egyptair 990 began with a loud thump. Pilot suicide is
the explanation offered by U.S. investigators - an explanation
that can not account for the failure of the flight data recorders at
approximately 16,000 feet. As we shall see below a similar
explanation was offered for a Silk Air crash in which the flight data
recorders also stopped operating before the aircraft crashed.
