I know what the Egyptians said, but wondered if they had the capability?
Most airlines these days have quality assurance programs based on QAR readouts and analysis, the data on the FDR-s is identical, if the interfaces are not compromised then with the right software the data readout is as straight forward as looking at pictures on a SD card. It only becomes tricky if the interface or the memory module itself is damaged (which could be the case given the intensity of the impact). Similarly the CVR records digital audio, it can be easily read out by the right software with the appropriate interface.
