		</div><p>The search area for the second black box from a passenger jet which crashed in southern China with 132 people on board has been expanded, state broadcaster CCTV said.</p>
<p>It comes as intermittent rain impeded the search for a second day.</p>
<p>One of the black boxes, believed to be the cockpit voice recorder, was found on Wednesday.</p>
<p>Its outer casing was damaged but the orange cylinder inside was relatively intact, investigators said.</p>
<p>The China Eastern Boeing 737-800 was cruising at 29,000 feet when it suddenly nose-dived into a remote mountainous area on Monday, sparking a fire in the surrounding forest that could be seen in Nasa satellite images.</p>
<p>No survivors have been found.</p>
<p>Searchers have been using hand tools, metal detectors, drones and sniffer dogs to comb the heavily forested, steep slopes.</p>

<p>Wallets, identity and bank cards and human remains have been found.</p>
<p>CCTV news showed police in olive and dark-coloured rain gear standing in a cleared area on Thursday, some with bare or white-gloved hands atop long-handled tools that appear to be shovels or sickles.</p>
<p>They were all wearing surgical masks.</p>
<p>Recovering the so-called black boxes — they are usually painted orange for visibility — is considered key to figuring out what caused the crash.</p>

<p>Cockpit voice recorders can capture voices, audio alerts and background sounds from the engine or even switches being moved.</p>
<p>The flight data recorder stores information about the plane’s airspeed, altitude and direction up or down, as well as pilot actions and the performance of important systems.</p>
<p>Investigators have said it is too early to speculate on the cause of the crash.</p>
<p>An air-traffic controller tried to contact the pilots several times after seeing the plane’s altitude drop sharply but got no reply, officials have said.</p>
<p>Flight 5735 was headed from Kunming, the capital of Yunnan province, to Guangzhou, a major city and export manufacturing hub on China’s south-east coast.</p>
<p>China Eastern, based in Shanghai, is one of China’s four major airlines.</p>
