Hallo,

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.
