Indonesian divers in the Java Sea recovered the second part of the black box of the crashed AirAsia flight QZ8501 on Tuesday.

The discovery of the cockpit voice recorder comes a day after the flight data recorder was retrieved on Monday, the BBC reports.

Indonesian divers have recovered the flight data recorder of the crashed AirAsia plane, which is believed to be at the bottom of the Java Sea.

The second part of the black box, the cockpit voice recorder has also been located, but divers have not reached it yet, the BBC reports.

The flight data recorder was retrieved Jan. 12 from the AirAsia plane that crashed in the Java Sea a fortnight ago with 162 people on board, Indonesia's national search and rescue chief said.

Investigators searching for the crashed AirAsia plane?s black boxes lifted the tail portion of the jet out of the Java Sea on Jan. 10, two weeks after it went down, killing all 162 people on board.
                   

Scores of divers plunged into the Java Sea on Jan. 8 to search the wreckage of an AirAsia  jet for the black box recorders that could reveal why the plane crashed, Indonesia's search and rescue agency said.

Italian firefighters at the port of Brindisi have recovered the main black box data recorder from the Norman Atlantic ferry but there are fears that it may have been seriously damaged by the fire that broke out on board.

Another black box had been discovered on Friday. Italy?s Rai TV reported that authorities believe the fire may have been caused by a short circuit.

Air accident investigators successfully extracted data from Malaysia Airlines flight MH17's two "black boxes", Air Accident Investigation Branch lab in Farnborough said.
