   A robotic submarine retrieved the second of two black boxes from the Air France jet that plunged into the Atlantic in 2009 600 miles off Brasil's coast.
   “They appear to be in a good state,” said a French air crash investigator.
  “The first thing is to dry them, prepare them, which needs about a day.”
   Once the boxes arrive in France in about 10 days, “the reading of information would be pretty fast,” he said.
