That's good news about the recorders!
A couple of questions that I haven't seen addressed:
1. Does the damage to the engines indicate that they were running at impact?
2. A friend has an iPhone App that tells him the windspeed when he holds the phone up in the wind.
I don't know how it would work for flying speeds. but it seems fairly accurate in lowish winds.
Could this technology be applied to aircraft even as a separate system?
