== Cultural references == {{In popular culture|section|date=March 2022}} * The artwork for the band [[Rammstein]]'s album ''[[Reise, Reise]]'' is made to look like a CVR; it also includes a recording from a crash. The recording is from the last 1β2 minutes of the CVR of [[Japan Air Lines Flight 123]], which crashed on August 12, 1985, killing 520 people; JAL123 is the deadliest single-aircraft disaster in history.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Beckner |first1=Justin |title=The Easter Egg Hidden on Rammstein's 'Reise, Reise' Album |url=https://www.ultimate-guitar.com/articles/features/the_easter_egg_hidden_on_rammsteins_reise_reise_album-140390 |website=UltimateGuitar |access-date=17 July 2023}}</ref> * Members of the performing arts collective [[Collective:Unconscious]] made a theatrical presentation of a play called ''[[Charlie Victor Romeo]]'' with a script based on transcripts from CVR voice recordings of nine aircraft emergencies.
