Hard to get data off a drive with a hammer and blowtorch.

I think they mean they failed to pull data that can be revealed to us commoners. I bet what they got was quite ‘interesting’.

. . . if they haven’t already FUBAR’d it.

How convenient—no confirmation of terrorism or another Airbus crash. Personally, I think too many of the both.

[mowowie]

because it implicates islam.
If they found the boxes they found the fuselage and bodies right?
This story totally fell off the radar.
I wonder why...

[Gay State Conservative]

Egypt has a huge incentive to obfuscate this issue...for obvious reasons.

Instead of storing flight and voice data in black boxes, why can’t a plane in flight just transmit/stream the data where it can be stored in a facility on the ground?

[US_MilitaryRules]

Par for the course.

Did they format the memory cards first?

I’m amazed that a tech center like Egypt couldn’t get the data.

Egyptian MUSEUM pilot JIHAD SUICIDE by plane. Egyptian government will never release the flight voice recorder transcripts because they are full of "Allah Ackbar" and "I am killing you all in the name of Allah the 'merciful'", and all the usual MUSLIM TERRORIST rhetoric crap.

If Egypt released the truth about what happened no one in their right mind would ever fly Egyptian Air or fly to or from Egypt ever again! Since tourism makes up the overwhelming majority of Egypt's economy their government will never release the truth or the transcripts.
