Investigators have begun work on the recovered cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder "black boxes" from the wreckage of UPS Flight 2976 , the MD-11F cargo aircraft that crashed near Louisville, Kentucky.

National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigators have opened the crash‑survivable memory unit of the cockpit voice recorder in their vehicle recorder laboratory in Washington.

They said: "The assembly contains the memory protected by the recorder's crash-survivable design."
