The second "black box" flight recorder from the doomed China Airlines plane
which crashed last month has been recovered from the seabed of the Taiwan
Strait.Search teams recovered the device 24 hours after successfully bringing
up the cockpit voice recorder from the crash site off the west coast of
Taiwan.Investigators are hoping the black boxes will yield fresh information
about the crash, which killed all 225 people on board the CAL Boeing 747
which was on a flight from Taipei to Hong Kong.The plane broke up in mid-air
and the investigation, which could take up to twelve months to complete, hope
that the flight recorders may give some clues as to why the aircraft's
structure failed.
