Actually, "seizing" is the word used by TAIC (Transport Accident Investigation Commission - NZ). "TAIC is in the process of gathering evidence relevant to the inquiry, including seizing the coughpit voice and flight data recorders." See TAIC assisting Chile investigation into LATAM flight LA800 accident | TAIC.
To those criticising the media (and I'm often dubious myself), this time they are actually quoting an official source.
