Transcript for Divers recover flight data on Indonesia seafloor from plane that crashed

And now we want to head over to Indonesian the latest in that plane crash mystery divers have found. One of the black boxes and David Curley is monitoring all of this forest a David what can this tell us. So this is the data recorder it's the flight data recorder. It they didn't recover the entire what we would call a black box but they found the most important part which is where the data is stored inside that recorder. And it was actually brought up and put into a tanker a tub. But like kind of a cooler filled with while we're too which which is standard operating procedure the Indonesians say it's gonna take them a week to read out. That data recorders seems. A little long. Compared to what would happen in the west either in the United States France or Britain or someplace else but at least they have. That part of the black box now the other black box is still missing. That is the cockpit voice. Recorder. Here's the difference the flight data recorders gonna tell you what the engines were doing where the aircraft was over the inputs from the pilots see you get all that data of what what the plane was doing. The voice recorder which they don't have yet. Is inside the cockpit you hear what the pilots were saying to each other you can actually hear the noises of the engines of others. Anything an explosion or anything else you can hear warning bells going off in their different warning chimes with in the cockpit that would tell you what's going on. So it will be important a fine that. But at least they have one of them now and Diane I would add that there is some question because this was a real leading news 737 the latest version. It's called a Max eight. It had the capability to send data to the ground so even in flight there's a chance that Boeing. And GE which makes is a partner in making the engines and the airline actually have. Had data since the flight on Monday. And haven't shared we asked Boeing and GE do they have data already. About this flight and they declined to comment to us so major break this is really good news. They're still is more to come they need to find that voice we're. Quarters well hand sounds unusual that question about. If they have data and why they wouldn't share but it David in do they have any theories any closer idea to what actually happened here. Will we have heard from sources that terrorism has basically no been ruled out they don't think that it was. Anything to do with terrorism now we do know that this aircraft the same aircraft. On the flight before this which was on Sunday. Had an issue. The airline has not told us what that issue was they've not been specific about was in an engine issue wasn't an. Instrumentation issue all they will say is that they fix that it was resolved this technical issue before the flight. On Monday but they've given us no information what we are hearing from Indonesians that their spending a lot of time behind closed doors with Boeing. That to me suggests that there has may be possibly been some data. That Boeing knows they're sharing with the Indonesian authorities the airline I'm sure is in there as well the NTSB. Has been invited to take part in this investigation which is a big deal to. Because. There have been issues between Indonesians and the Americans in the past when it comes to aviation safety. So NTSB is there Boeing is they're GE is there as well. All parties to this investigations so I would think. In the coming days depending on how long it takes them to read out this flight data recorder will have some sense on a theory. The question is wasn't a technical problem that took the plane down on its own. But technical problem that the pilots did not. Deal was correctly. The contributed to it and took the plane down. Or just pure pilot error if you rule out terrorism those are kind of three areas that you look at this point we aren't David Curley for us we appreciate the announces David thank you. Stay on top of this.
