Egypt crash plane’s black box located
2004-01-16
A French source has told AFP that search teams have located the box to within 10 metres. Earlier, the head of the Egyptian investigating commission, Captain Shaker Qallada, was quoted as telling the state MENA news agency that they hoped to have the black box by Saturday. "The French teams have found the location of one of the two black boxes and are trying to recover it," he said. "If the recovery operation is successful, the black box will be turned over to Egyptian authorities on Saturday morning," he said. Another source close to the search said the black box was already being brought up to the surface by the Scorpio robot of France Telecom Marine when the recovery operation had to be delayed to allow the presence of Egyptian officials.

#2  If the Egyptians are in charge, we may never know what really is in the flight data recorder and the cockpit voice recorder, despite the great recovery efforts by the French teams. That would be a shame.

#1  This is good news. I expect the flight recorder will essentially say that Reagan's tax cut crashed the aircraft and lead to the rise of the homeless mujahadeen who had no choice but to go fight the Russians with American money and Stingers and the turtles are sickly and I don't feel so good myself.
