NTSB chair says investigators boarded Dali ship overnight and recovered its data recorder

“Some investigators boarded late last night to look at the engine room, the bridge and gather any sort of electronics or documentation," Homendy said on CNN News Central Wednesday morning.

“Right now, we do have the data record, which is essentially the ‘black box,’” Homendy added. “We’ve sent that back to our lab to evaluate and begin to develop a timeline of events that led up to the strike on the bridge.” She added that investigators should have information from the vessel's black box later today.

Homendy said that a team of 24 investigators will be returning to the ship this morning, with a focus on collecting the perishable evidence, including pictures of the vessel.
