What is being reported here in Australia unofficially is that the fairly precise location of the flight recorder is now known. It is not yet reported as retrieved.

It is, but if there is anything to announce officially, the media expects him to do so there. If there wasn’t a press conference scheduled, they’d be calling one but as there is one, no special one is being called yet.

From what I have heard (and this is just what I have heard from usually reliable sources), the Malaysian Authorities (who have primary legal right to the data) have agreed that it will be accessed by the Australian Transport Safety Board, the (US) National Transport Safety Board, and a Chinese authority I can’t remember the name of. I suspect it will be primarily accessed by the ATSB simply for convenience (Australia’s facilities are closest), unless the recovery is complex in which case the NTSB are the best in the world for difficult data recovery, but the Malaysians would have the legal right to insist on doing it themselves.

I’m sure the “Black Box” will be lying all by itself on the sand, away from any wreckage.

Seriously, 16,000-20,000 feet down, how would you get that out of an airplane?
