AirAsia flight QZ8501: Flight data recorder retrieved; search underway for cockpit recorder
Source: Straits-Times (Singapore)
Indonesias search and rescue agency said on Monday morning that search teams had managed to retrieve the flight data recorder of the Indonesia AirAsia plane that crashed in the Java Sea.
I received information from the National Transport Safety Committee (KNKT) chief that at 07.11 am, we succeeded in bringing up part of the black box that we call the flight data recorder, Basarnas chief Bambang Soelistyo told reporters.
The cockpit voice recorder has yet to be recovered, he added.
"We confirmed this as the object has a tag number and serial PN-2100-4043-02 and serial number SN-000556583, he told reporters. "Now we are trying to locate cockpit voice recorder."

Pilot error.
Pilots are always easy to blame in such incidents...they're usually dead.
