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 1,400 people from Saudi Arabia to an Egyptian port city, when a fire broke out. The vessel was found Friday in about 2,600 feet of water some 50 miles from land.
