but really there has been nothing of value added for at least 2 weeks
I am sorry, but I do not completely agree. While information added may be repetitive or redundent, it still provides an ongoing understanding of what may have occured. At the least, it keeps the subject alive, under continuous review, and a thought provoker from those who fly the airplane. I fear there may be a complete likelyhood that neither recorder will be located. Perhaps additional pieces of the airplane may be recovered, but that will likly be the best one might expect. Thus, we are left with one option, to continue to develope a credible cause based on the facts as known todate. Sticking our head in the sand touting "thats been said before" is not the answer. I favor keeping the opinions flowing.
