Sea Diamond sunk

[Kakoulakis Giannis]

Hallo,
as you know the biggest cruise ship of the Louise Cruises Lines, Sea Diamond, after crashing to a rock at the beautiful Greek island of Santorini at 5-4-2007, sunk.
In my blog you can find fotos of the incedence and information time after time and videos from there..

Thank you..

Today the "black box" was recovered by divers.

This will only be the 2nd or 3rd black box (voyage data recorder a.k.a. VDR) recovered from a sinking.  The first VDR data capsule recovered was from the Al Salam Boccaccio 98 in the Red Sea last year.  There may or may not have been a second one afterward.  In any case the Sea Diamond VDR data capsule recovery is very significant for the marine industry.
