The Lebanese navy has recovered a black box from the Ethiopian plane and it has been transported to Beirut naval base to be handed over.

Searchers located the two flight recorders on Saturday and Lebanese army divers went down to retrieve them. The boxes were found under the rear part of the fuselage and the cockpit was also located on Sunday as operations continued to recover the other box and find more bodies.

The Boeing 737-800 plunged into the Mediterranean before dawn on Jan. 25, just minutes after take-off during stormy weather from Beirut airport. It was bound for Addis Ababa with 83 passengers and seven crew on board.
