PARIS, March 24-- The first black box of the crashed Germanwings flight, which has been found by gendarmes at the site of the disaster, is used for recording conversations in the cockpit, local media reported on Tuesday.
The other black box, which is used for storing flight data, has not yet been retrieved by the gendarmes, BFMTV reported Tuesday night.
Search and rescue operations have been currently suspended but will resume Wednesday morning.
An Airbus 320 plane of German budget airline Germanwings with 150 people on board crashed in southern France on Tuesday while en route from Barcelona to Duesseldorf. No survivors are expected.
