Isd this common in most airline crashes? Maybe it is, but I've never heard of a CVR being ejected out of its container. Doesn't make a lot of sense to me considering there was enough lack-of-force to have decent sizes of human remains, yet the impact was great enough to rip the CVR apart? But I know nothing about this, so someone educate me on it.

Officials on Tuesday said they had found only the exterior container of the cockpit voice recorder from the plane, hampering investigative efforts into the accident's cause.
The device's internal components were ejected from the container when the plane crashed into a mountainous region north of Athens on Sunday, Akrivos Tsolakis, head of the Greek airline safety committee, told The Associated Press.
"The only fortunate event in the investigation is that we have the flight data recorder," Tsolakis said, adding that the box would be flown to Paris on Wednesday for decoding.
He said a group of investigators would search for the rest of the voice recorder. He told AP that American experts, including a representative of the plane's manufacturer, were providing assistance.
