Black box from Egyptian crash recovered

One of the two black box flight recorders from a plane that crashed early this month off the Egyptian coast has been recovered.

The Flash Airlines Boeing 737 crashed shortly after take-off for Paris from a Red Sea resort, killing all 148 people on board.

The black boxes are expected to reveal the exact cause of the tragedy, which Egyptian and French experts believe was the result of a technical fault or other accident and not terrorism.
