I understand that during the recovery process for the recorders it has been found that to best preserve them and protect the contents they should be kept submerged.
Look at the Bea released photo's it does appear that the first recovered FDR is now sealed into a liquid filled container, (is it distilled water?), but the picture showing its extraction onto the ship seems to show it inside a mesh cage or lifting box and exposed to the atmos.
If this is the case, how rapidly will corrosion occur and will it occur in such a brief span of time, (as this hopefully was).
I have seen corrosion occur in a matter of ours on some materials, but will the fairly extreme conditions the recorders have been in affect
how rapidly they can corrode.
Appreciative thanks to the airbus savvy and technical folks who have posted on here and fought the long fight against the conspiracy folks.
