When the cargo ship El Faro vanished during Hurricane Joaquin, the sea kept its secrets 15,000 feet below.
No witnesses. No distress call. No survivors.
Until one orange capsule — the ship’s black box — finally spoke.
In this episode, we uncover the story behind the Voyage Data Recorder (VDR) — the device designed to survive explosions, fire, and crushing ocean pressure to tell investigators what really happened in a ship’s final moments.
