From Times Wire Reports
Searchers located one of the flight data recorders from a Paris-bound Egyptian charter jet that crashed into the Red Sea, but it was too far underwater to be immediately retrieved, a French official said.
Rear Adm. Jacques Mazars told reporters in Sharm el Sheik that more advanced equipment was needed to retrieve the box, which was believed to be 2,000 to 2,500 feet below the surface. A robot submarine sent by France can’t operate below 1,300 feet.
