Example: Lemmy Federated Airlines Flight 360 crashes with no survivors. Now the Lemmy Federation Air Crash Investigation Bureau finds the Flight Data Recorder and Cockpit voice recorder, and they take those boxes aboard Lemmy Investigation Bureau Airfleet Flight 180 back to the investigation headquarters for analysis. This flight also crashes with no survivors. What happens now? Will the black boxes of Flight 360 still be readable? Also, what were the odds of this scenario happening?

Sorry I couldn’t sleep and had to get this question out of my head.

      Kinda like how many times can you send a sub to the bottom of the ocean before it doesn’t return?

        Depends on whether it was made with carbon composites against all understanding of safe compression cycling.

        Good point - if it was lost underwater it might have used up the sonar pinger battery and would be harder to find if lost underwater a second time.
