Saw this news article this morning.
Local men find doomed 1985 flight?s ?black boxes? on Bolivian mountain (http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/local-men-find-doomed-1985-flight%e2%80%99s-%e2%80%98black-boxes%e2%80%99-on-bolivian-mountain/ar-BBtU5u1?li=BBnb7Kz)
I'm not involved in aviation in any capacity, so I wanted to ask, if CVR/FDRs were found mostly intact (wildly unlikely in this instance, I know) after 30+ years in harsh elements, would it be a reasonable expectation that usable data could still be extracted?
