The black box from the Learjet that crashed in Florida has been recovered by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) a week after nine people were killed.

A giant fireball erupted on November 1 near West Palm Beach after the business plane plummeted tens of thousands of feet and nose-dived into the ground while on its way to the Bahamas from Austin, Texas.

Adam Robinson, his wife, Helen Sharp, and their children, Emma, four and Charlie, two, lost their lives. The children's nanny, Anita Maria Cetina, and two family friends, Rowan Fehr Toews and Rachel Reed, also died.

The pilot, Jeffrey Gregory, and co-pilot Nathalia Gadelha Filgueiras were also killed in the crash that left a gaping hole in the ground.

The cause of the tragedy remains unknown, but on Monday, the NTSB announced that the agency has recovered the aircraft's black box, a crash-protected device that records everything that takes place on a flight and could help determine what went wrong.

Despite the name of the recorder system, the box itself is actually bright orange so it can be easily located amid wreckage.

The agency shared several images of the box, which appeared to have some scrapes and debris on it, but appeared to be in good condition.

It is not yet known if it is damaged or if it was working in the first place.
