The National Transportation Safety Board released on Tuesday pictures of the black box recovered from the passenger jet that crashed with an Army Black Hawk, plummeting into the Potomac last week.

Images of the cockpit voice recorder (CVR) show a severely wrecked device, detailing that authorities recovered it "at the site of the initial impact, at a depth of 8 feet." Authorities said last week that the CVR was found with water intrusion, a common issue in these cases.
