Coast Guard calls off search for El Faro black box weeks after the ship and its bridge were located and only one body of the 33 crew members was found
The 790ft ship lost power during a hurricane and disappeared October 1
A search team later found the ship in 15,000 feet of water
But the ship's mast, where the black box was mounted, was never found
Data recorder charts the date, time and speed of a vessel and conversations between captain and crew
Investigators remain hopeful they can determine what happened to the ship without the voyage data recorder

That was the lamest most mediocre search and rescue I have ever heard of. They were slow from the start, they couldnt even be bothered to recover a body floating in the water. By the time they got serious in looking for the ship and black box, it had already run out of juice and stopped pinging. Why do they even have these black boxes on ships and planes, if they are not even going to start looking for it untill after it stops pinging?:facepalm:
Im sure the ships owners are happy though. Now we will never know exactly what happened.
