A '''flight recorder''' is an [[airplane]]’s Digital Flight Data Recorder (DVDR) and Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) installed as one unit. "'''Black box'''" is the common name used in news stories. Despite this fact, 'black boxes' are almost always orange, to make them easier to see in wreckage.

[[Korean Airlines Flight 007]] was a Boeing 747 shot down by the Soviets on Sept. 1, 1983 just west of the Soviet territory of Sakhalin Island off the Siberian Maritime. There were 269 passengers and crew aboard. For over 10 years the Soviets denied having retrieved the black box but on January 8, 1993, [[Boris Yeltsin]], under  pressure from Senator [[Jesse Helms]] of the Committee on Foreign Relations, handed the Cockpit Voice Recorder and the Digital Flight Data Recorder tapes from the black box to the International Civil Aviation Organization of the United Nations. Here are the combined Cockpit Voice Recorder and Flight Data Recorder transcripts chronicalling the first minute and 44 seconds of the flight of KAL 007 after missile detonation.<ref>http://www.rescue007.org/faq.htm#5</ref>
