(Reuters) - A team of Indonesian navy divers on Monday retrieved one of the two black boxes from an AirAsia airliner that crashed two weeks ago, killing all 162 people on board, a government official said.
Flight QZ8501 lost contact with air traffic control in bad weather on Dec. 28, less than halfway into a two-hour flight from Indonesia's second-biggest city of Surabaya to Singapore.
"At 7:11, we succeeded in lifting the part of the black box known as the flight data recorder," Fransiskus Bambang Soelistyo, the head of the National Search and Rescue Agency, told reporters at a news conference.
"We are still trying to find the cockpit voice recorder."

And I'm sticking to my story until I'm proven wrong.
“My theory is that as the plane rose to cruising altitude, the effects of man-made globalwarming depleted it’s ability to maintain flight because of all the CO2 it was emitting and gaia made it crash into the ocean. And I’m sticking to my story until I’m proven wrong.”
Your theory has a much better chance of succeeding with Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 since no part of it will ever be found that could refute your theory.
The divers must be having a ball, great pay, great adventure, the importance of the mission, success so far, congratulations to them.
The CVR has now been located.
So, I understand the "black boxes" are actually orange, just to make them more visible. Of course, everyone knows:
Orange is the new Black.

Not sure that visiting the remains of a shattered airline would be a ball. Still, kudos to the divers.
Guys who love adventurous work like the chance to do it, and the intensity of emergencies and searches.
Yep, having a ball, recovering corpses in an advanced state of decay, break open the champagne!

FOX NEWS: Divers had retrieved the flight data recorder of doomed AirAsia Flight 8501 Monday and had located the cockpit voice recorder on the floor of the Java Sea, a vital breakthrough in the investigation into what caused the crash that killed all 162 people on board Dec. 28.
Suryadi Bambang Supriyadi, the operation coordinator at Indonesia’s National Search and Rescue Agency, announced that the voice recorder, one of the two so-called “black boxes,” was located hours after the flight data recorder was brought to the surface. He said the voice recorder was stuck under heavy wreckage and divers were working to free it at a depth of 105 feet.
#1 The consensus here says you are correct.
This will be the story they will be telling 20 years from now.
Perhaps. but it just seemed an odd turn of phrase, considering the situation.

I think that I am just not a good enough writer to get across what I am describing, but you have done a lot of guy work, and spent much of your life with such guys, I know that if I was a diver, that I would have liked to work on this job.
