9/11 flight recorders
editAdded the lost boxes from the two jets that crashed into the Word Trade Center towers on 9/11/2001. The report is from the 9/11 Commission report, and is contradicted by various conspiracy theorists. SkoreKeep (talk) 06:19, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
- 18th June 2016 I noticed the link to this report (reference 9) is broken but I don't know how to fix it. Can someone else do this, please? It should be https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/GPO-911REPORT/pdf/GPO-911REPORT.pdf — Preceding unsigned comment added by MaryPercival (talk • contribs) 22:12, 18 June 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks MaryPercival, I've now replaced the link. The reader still has to navigate manually to page 465 inside the pdf. Martinevans123 (talk) 22:18, 18 June 2016 (UTC)
El Al Flight 1862
editAs far as I remember the flight recorders of the El Al flight that crashed in Amsterdam were also not recovered or at least one of them. Guess I cannot edit the article because of the new rules, so I'll just post here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.6.181.145 (talk) 03:49, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
- According to this document (page 23), the flight data recorder was recovered, but the cockpit voice recorder was not. Another document provides a transcript alleged to be from the cockpit voice recorder. Apparently there were multiple questionable issues concerning this flight, including destruction of tapes made during rescue and cleanup. (ref) Wildbear (talk) 04:40, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
New entries
edit- I was gonna make a new article called "List of missing aircrafts" until I found this one, which serves the same purpose. There are a number of flights in this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Airliner_accidents_and_incidents_with_an_unknown_cause which could fit into this list. --Kvasir (talk) 19:14, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
Bijmeer Holland crash
editOne of the black boxes was found. The tape was broken and the last 2:40 minutes where unreadable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.194.139.180 (talk) 12:10, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
Missing Flight Recorders Only?
editThere are so many instances of black boxes being damaged beyond being read that this page could never possibly cover all of them. Perhaps it should just exclusively be for missing flight Recorders? 2607:FB90:882C:B220:0:4A:CED7:9401 (talk) 02:29, 13 August 2016 (UTC)
- This list currenrtly has 17 entries? Martinevans123 (talk) 20:03, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
I agree, I am in the aviation safety industry and this list is lacking focus. There are multitudes of recorders that are destroyed beyond data yield, this list should only list MISSING recorders. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.76.142.9 (talk) 21:47, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

Renaming
editAs this list includes flight recorders that were recovered but at the same time were unusable, it would make more sense if we rename this article “List of unrecovered or unusable flight recorders” Does that sound better? Tigerdude9 (talk) 20:11, 5 January 2019 (UTC)
9/11 World Trade Center Black Boxes???
editFrom what the 9/11 Commission Report said was that none of the black boxes were recovered, but I looked at the link “911truth.org” there is a video in which 2 accounts say that they found 3 of the 4 black boxes at the World Trade Center. How do we know who is lying? The official answer is that the black boxes were not recovered, but the jurisdiction of the FBI says that they were found: “Off the record, we had the boxes, you have to get the official word from the FBI as to where they are, but we worked on them here.” Should we still include those black boxes or should we not? Thanks. The person who should not be named (talk) 14:55, 4 July 2020 (UTC)
