...of the pennsylvania plane.
The voice recorder one at least, but they probably don't really care about the flight data recorder.
why are they called black boxes anyway? they're bright orange!
Tradition, I guess. :rolleyes: *wishes for a :shrug: emoticon*
hmm, someone arrested at Heathrow possibly in connection with attacks...
A bunch of people have been arrested, even outside the US, as suspects.
Well, the FDR will tell them when the flight deviated from its filed flight plan. If there's a Quick Access Recorder that might have survived if the FDR didn't.Quote:

I thought they had the radar paths of all the planes....:confused:
BTW, I was wrong: they found the FDR, not the FVR. Anyway, I remember hearing something on the news that the hijackers turned off a transponder. So unless towers were recording the path, we'd better hope that the FDR has useful data on it.
