The Recorders to Provide the details
“Lets wait until the recorders are recovered. Then we will know.” That statement has been made ad nauseum during this thread, and the original one.
I fear however this may not be the case.
I do agree, the recorders will provide information which will help determine the reason(s) and provide the cause(s). PROVIDED they are readable after two years at a deep submerged depth. That is a big question. Another, and more important, if they are readable, that the actual true information discovered is provided, and not altered as has been suspected in past accidents. I share the stated concern of others, and I am not comfortable with the sole custody of the recorders being granted to the BEA, who have a vested interest in the outcome of the investigation. Two French Companies and the French Government to name but three will no doubt be a great temptation to mold the cause. There seems to be a protocol being established now which prohibits any other party or government, other than the BEA, from obtaining and controlling any and all recovered info from the crash site. I don’t know if this is good or not given the results of previous investigations.
