Divers have retrieved the crashed AirAsia plane's second black box from the bottom of the Java Sea, giving investigators the essential tools they need to start piecing together what brought Flight 8501 down.

Transportation Ministry official Tonny Budiono says the trapped cockpit voice recorder was freed from beneath the wing's heavy ruins early Tuesday from a depth of about 30 meters (100 feet), a day after the aircraft's flight data recorder was recovered.

Black boxes are actually orange.

[justlurking]

They have a fake tan?

[UCANSEE2]

Only on the outside.

[JohnBrowdie]

they’re all aluminum-colored on the inside?

(Yeah, what could go wrong with that comment . . . It will be fine)

[UCANSEE2]

One can only hope.

[Inyo-Mono]

Do they still use cassette tapes or are they digital now?

[UCANSEE2]

You can’t tell what color they are on the inside until you open them up. Even then, you opening it caused it to change.

You have to pass the box so that you can find out what is in it.

Hopefully this can confirm that severe weather did caused it, as suspected.

[Jack Hydrazine]

Black boxes are down with the struggle!

Orange jump suits?

Wow... Based on the comments, a lot of Freepers are evidently drunk tonight!

The newer models are all solid state electronics, no moving parts.
