‘Black box’ from helicopter involved in Washington plane crash recovered

Flight data and cockpit voice recorder ‘in good condition’ despite collision with American Airlines jet, official says

The National Transportation Safety Board has recovered the flight “black box” from the US military Black Hawk helicopter involved in Wednesday’s deadly crash with a commercial airliner, and it appears to be undamaged, NTSB member Todd Inman said Friday.

The black box – containing a flight data and cockpit voice recorder – was “in good condition” despite its accident with an American Airlines jet in Washington DC, Inman said. But, he said, the NTSB would not be releasing information from the device immediately as investigations into the crash that killed 67 people aboard both aircraft continued.
