I cant help but think this constant reference to the STS in this thread is due lack of understanding of the STS.
I dont know what caused the airplane in question to end up in the sea, but I highly doubt that the STS caused it.....
The data recorder has been recovered. Give them a few days and some FACTUAL information will be available.
Thank you, Switchbait. I have tried to suggest the same, but you have done it eloquently.
