1. Aircraft loss is a rare event - recovery of the black boxes and debris provides material to help reconstruct the event.
2. Recovery provides comfort and closure to the families of the deceased.
3. The large, coordinated multination search and recovery process sends a strong message to terrorists that we respond sanely to a disaster. We'll only send in the drones or special forces once we've accumulated evidence.
The dust up and sudden stop of the crew module looked really painful! The last line of the video, "so who wants to go into space?". I do, but not be spam in a can on the return!
