Search crews located the data recorders for EgyptAir Flight 804 close to an area where human remains and debris from the crashed flight have been found, an Egyptian government source told CBS News on Saturday.
Egyptian media, including state media, were reporting the same development, CBS News correspondent Holly Williams reports.
Late Saturday, a U.S. intelligence source confirmed to CBS News the data recorders, commonly known as black boxes, have been approximately located by their pings and that recovery efforts were underway.
There has been no official confirmation, and EgyptAir wouldn't confirm or deny that the black boxes have been located, Williams reports.

I doubt that the info from the boxes will ever be made public.

An early leak of the contents of the boxes:
“BOOM!”

If the ‘wrong finding’ is found. It will be heavily edited. You won’t be seeing the NTSB or any western agency touching any of those devices.

EgyptAir doesn’t seem to be open about this incident. Lawyer’d up I suppose.

Calling it a BLACK BOX sounds very raciss.

Note the 57-nation OIC's logo, with the Kaaba in the middle of the world and the Islamic crescent wrapped around it.

The OIC is in charge of choosing our "refugees."

Calling it a BLACK BOX sounds very raciss. Most of the so called media tries like hell to call it the "Flight Recorder" because they don't want to offend anyone.

Especially since the box is actually orange.

There is an Islamic country in South America?
To: Cowboy Bob
That one had me. I think Venezuela joined it just out of insanity, showing solidarity with the anti-American OIC. I’ll have to check.
