Pentagon sources confirm that they are about to put out a news release saying that overnight, the black boxes, those are the ones that record data and voice information, on the American Airline 757 which crashed into the Pentagon, causing such a calamity, the black boxes have now been discovered overnight.

You can see when you see pictures of the outside of the building that it's a very precarious situation, that it is just really, really in chaos and, of course, just a construction nightmare. But they had been hearing pings first the day before, then yesterday and now we're hearing that they have gotten the black boxes.
