I heard that there was actually two GoPro's on the machine, with only one found thus far, and intact. The ATSB will use the footage if it is salvageable, but that will remain privvy to them and the Coroner, as far as viewing it goes. Anything beyond that is tantamount to walking over the graves of the dead.
I know this is an emotive topic, but under what I would call normal circumstances (circumstances that some bloggers on here are referring to), these machines are well loved, well cared for and very well maintained. I have lost count of the passenger trips I have taken in them all over the world, and I have no fear of the craft when it is in the hands of a capable pilot and it has been nurtured with the kind of TLC normally associated with said aircraft type.
I have seen Dash 8's and Metro 3's, still flying, in frightening and appalling condition. Give me a TM over them any day.
