Blacksheep, a question:
In the mentioned Andes crash, why didn't the ELT er, start ELTing on it's own? Also, what is the point of saltwater batteries? Can the ELT freqs penetrate a decent amount of water when submerged? Or did I just get caught as your name suggests?
But if I were in this stituation I'd salvage one of the toilets to win major points with the ladies.
