Investigators have not yet recovered the black box from the flight that crashed into the Potomac River, the National Transportation Safety Board confirmed.
The black box is a flight data recorder that documents all actions and speech made in the cockpit of a commercial aircraft. In previous plane crashes, black boxes have given investigators clues into how or why the flight went down. They are meant to survive plane crashes and can reveal what happened in a flight’s final moments.
