The helicopter went down in a remote area during a mercy mission in southwest China's earthquake zone. Sichuan military quake relief headquarters say the black box voice recorder of the Mi-171 helicopter has been found, providing important clues to help analyze the crash.

After a 12-day search, 18 victims, including the five crew members, were all identified Wednesday.
