Quotes from NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy:

"a FedEx Boeing 767 cargo plane and a Southwest Airlines 737-700 that nearly collided were "probably under 100 feet (30.5 meters) vertically from each other," according to preliminary information on Monday from the investigation."

and
"Both cockpit voice recorders in the incident were believed to have been overwritten, Homendy said."

Isn't it about time that recorders stored enough data that they can’t be overwritten or destroyed in any way by the crew?
