"We've found the body or casing, we've found the beacon and now we're looking for the memory," Abdul told reporters aboard the navy ship Rigel, which was televised live.

He was confident divers would find the memory within the next few days, adding that a plane's black boxes are usually strong and can withstand an impact.
