    The voice recorder one at least, but they probably don't really care about the flight data recorder.

    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.

    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.
