Exactly! And that's one of the reasons that it bothers me so much when I see people bitching and moaning about the rules on the aircraft. Some of them (the electronic devices thing) don't really make much sense, and some of them only make sense in the context of an emergency (which is something no one can predict and no one wants to spend much time talking about on board). One example is making sure all of your stuff fits under your seat -- that's so when everyone is trying to escape the burning plane, your shoulder strap doesn't trip and kill someone who then takes 5 more seconds to get out. Instead though, you see all of these big-balls types that say "I'm not going to follow their stupid rule" and then end up causing problems. Some of these types end up passing through the ceiling panels when they refuse to wear a seatbelt while seated at cruise with the fasten seat-belt sign on.
Several less-durable data recorders might all be destroyed. For some time, the innards of these recorders also were not small. Also bear in mind that wherever these recorders are, they must be gotten out of there to be serviced/replaced/pulled from time to time. ALSO bear in mind that the Quick Access Recorder is also present in most aircraft. I would bet it is ordinarily destroyed.
My understanding is that it is not this deep. The other thing about that number is that that was the test. Ditto on the pingers lasting for 30 days (they ordinarily last longer but they must last at least 30).
Nope. Two, yes, but one is the CVR and one is the FDR. Both are at the rear if I'm not mistaken. That is ordinarily the best place for them. Fire does not appear to ordinarily be that big of a problem. The QAR I believe is optional -- don't really know -- but I do know that it is not crash proof.
Pilots want not to be killed while flying a plane. Most I know would prefer to know about a lurking flaw or situation that could kill them. One in particular flies the A330. Aircraft manufactures don't like to have their planes go down and have people reject their product. The reason it hasn't been done is because it's expensive -- that's it.
I dislike the Israel thing as much as anyone, but that's like equating Christians with the USA. The USA is not a Christian nation and not all of the USA is Christian. While that is less true of Israel, it is certainly true that all Jews are not Israeli and don't all necessarily approve of their actions. I know you're trolling, but perhaps someone else hasn't thought this through also.
Beyond that -- if someone wants your car, locked doors are not going to stop them. I lock it to keep mischief out/keep people from taking shit that's not worth breaking in for (though I have had my cassette adapter stolen via broken windows -- I guess when you want one, you want one).
Where do you get this? I can't think of hardly any cases where the recording was completely unusable, except a few times where the recording was later overwritten.
The same thing happened for the crash of Ethiopian flight 409. The memory was found 6 days later, only partially damaged. From avherald.com:
The cockpit voice recorder was recovered from the sea on Feb 10th 2010 however the memory part was missing. The memory was recovered on Feb 16th 2010, however one of the 16 memory chips was found cracked resulting in about 10 seconds of recordings missing every 4 minutes. The chip is likely to be unreadable, however additional attempts to restore the chip's contents are underway.
I've read the reason to have it be possible to separate is so that the box bears the brunt of the impact and the memory can decelerate.
Incidentally, he gets his nickname from the same place I got mine -- we apparently went to the same HS and that's the way usernames are assigned there (bergen.org). Funny how many of us still use them for one thing or another.
I work in IT. While I agree with your opinion, and/I/ will work with someone if they're up front, often times I am told by my superiors NOT to work with people... and then what happens is that people pull this kind of stuff instead. It is not a given that working together with IT will get you anywhere.

Ah well, that's people for you!
Beyond this -- I'm curious -- what are your credentials in this field?

Believe it or not, there are other religions that have a god, and it is perfectly possible to live your life here in a secular fashion.
Surely you realize the FAA doesn't design aircraft or data recorders, yes?
What purpose would that serve?
Sounds like a good deal to me.
How did they know your wallet was in the car? All bets are off if you leave shit in plain sight.

The thought is that it is too large/sturdy to be of interest. It also sounds like it must be pretty heavy.

Nonsense. The crash was not even likely to be their fault.

Many are damaged. I can't think of more than maybe one case where the data wasn't still extremely helpful.

This post provides some interesting information:

Where did this allegedly happen?

Yeah, your research was awesome too when two seconds of Googling could have turned up an example:

Yes, it is. Why don't you try reading something before you open your mouth? You are completely incorrect.
And where you moved is my problem how? (what you put into the air /is/ my problem, before you ask me)
