I am curious if any telecomms folks on the forum could comment on the likelihood of being able to retrieve such information after what is likely to be months underwater at great pressures. We all know that FDRs and CVRs are "hardened" in such a way as to enable this (e.g. AF447) but I imagine that commonly used memory in such consumer products might be considerably more fragile. Thoughts ?
I don't know for sure, but keep in mind that integrated circuits are basically sophisticated rocks, and probably pretty sturdy.
