No word on when data recorders will be recovered from ocean

Share

(Newser) – A submarine has located the black boxes from Yemenia Flight 626 in the Indian Ocean, a French investigative agency said today. Divers and search crews are still working to find debris from the plane, and have recovered parts of the fuselage, reports the AP. Officials did not say when the black boxes would be recovered and their information downloaded.

Don't we have something with long cables, a camera and claws to find and recover the boxes? It's a shame....we can put a man on the moon, but have not yet found the capability to explore our own planet. Reply

That's so true. Space is not the last frontier. The deep sea is another frontier.

Why do people still believe we put a man on the moon? Those alleged 6 events occurred nearly 40 years ago, yet we're told it will be another 20 years before we can do it again? Right. Reply
