[quote][b]Search teams say they have discovered part of a flight recorder from the Air France plane that crashed in 2009, off the coast of Brazil.[/b]
But they say they have yet to find the section containing crucial data which could reveal the cause of the crash.
The Air France Airbus plane went down in the Atlantic on 1 June 2009, killing all 228 people on board.
The recorder section was recovered a day after a salvage ship began working to retrieve bodies.
"During the first dive by the Remora 6000 which lasted more than 12 hours, the chassis of the flight data recorder was found, without the module protecting and containing the data," France's Bureau of Investigation and Analysis said in a statement.
They said a second dive was under way.
A spokeswoman for the bureau explained that though only the outer chassis of the flight recorder had been found, the flight data recorder itself, if recovered, could still be in a condition to be read.
"The memory module is like a sarcophagus - the information is very well protected," she told Reuters.
Investigators and Airbus stress that without the "black box" flight recorder, the mystery of the plane's last moments may never be solved.
The wreckage of the flight was found on a fourth attempt, using robots capable of operating 4,000m (13,120ft) below the ocean's surface.
Those who died on the Paris-bound Air France jet, which came down hours after it took off from Rio de Janeiro came from more than 30 countries, though most were French, Brazilian or German.[/quote]Basically, they haven't found the black box itself, just the chassis of the flight controls where it normally fits into. Hopefully it's not too far away from where they found the outer casing part.
The sea people took it.

Seamen.
So in other words the thread title is misleading: We found where the black box plugs into the aircraft but the box itself is not there.

Speculations.

For some reason, "Go Advanced" on the edit options didn't work on my OP :/
Oh shit...
I did report on them finding this back a few weeks ago, at least there finding things to piece together what happened, would be interested to see...
Aliens...
...on gigantic Seahorses...
...Stealing boxes?
It's the Aliens covering their tracks. The noises their ships make would reveal them so they digested evidence.
