Data recorder from sunken Egyptian ferry found

CAIRO, Egypt Egyptian authorities say they have found the critical "black box" recorder from a ferry that sank in the Red Sea this month.

The disaster killed more than one-thousand people.

Egypt's transport minister tells an official news agency (MENA) that a robot plucked the data recorder from the sea floor, about a half-mile down.

Cairo has asked for international help in investigating the disaster. The data will be analyzed in Britain.

The ferry was carrying 14-hundred people from Saudi Arabia to an Egyptian port city, when a fire broke out. The vessel was found Friday in about 26-hundred feet of water some 50 miles from land.
