Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.An American salvage team has recovered one of the two black boxes from the wreck of an Aeroperu airliner that crashed more than two weeks ago into the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Peru. Searchers also spotted the bodies of seven of the jet's 70 occupants, and they will be recovered when ocean conditions permit, Aeroperu said.
So far, only 14 bodies have been recovered since the crash on 2 October. Experts believe most of the bodies may still be trapped inside the Boeing 757, under 600ft of water. AP - Lima
