Indian Airliner's Data Recorder Found

India Air Crash Investigators in southern India recovered a flight data recorder Sunday from the site of India's worst air crash in more than a decade. Eight people survived Saturday's crash, but 158 were killed.  

Recovery of the Boeing 737's recorders is crucial for determining what when wrong when the Air India Express plane overshot the Mangalore airport runway on landing, and skidded into a ravine before bursting into flames.

The Times of India reports that the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board is sending investigators to India at the request of the Indian government.
