Bill Nelson Wants Feds to Look Again for El Faro's Black Box

U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., wants the federal government to conduct another search for the black box of El Faro, the Jacksonville based cargo ship which sunk in a storm on Oct. 1 as it headed to Puerto Rico. 

Nelson wrote National Transportation Safety Board Chairman Christopher Hart at the end of last week on the matter. 

“It is critical that we determine the cause of the El Faro sinking to prevent tragedies like this from happening again,” Nelson wrote. “I urge you to strongly consider another search to locate the missing recorder.”
