| #9 depends it it 30 min of real time sound or 30 minutes of actual human voice recording? |

| #8 The voice recorder probably won't be helpful. I think it's only 30 minutes worth. |

#7 The flight data recorder was found."The only fortunate event in the investigation is that we have the flight data recorder," Tsolakis said, adding that the box would be flown to Paris on Wednesday for decoding. The box that is missing is the Voice Recorder. |

| #6 The device's internal components were ejected from the container when the plane crashed into a mountainous region north of Athens on Sunday, Akrivos Tsolakis, head of the Greek airline safety committee, told The Associated Press. I'm calling bullshit. |

| #5 Well, without the flight data recorder, a definitive determination as to what the hell happened isn't likely to be in the cards.... |

| #2 Thanks for the link, Angie. The guy looks like he got to the prosecutors' office via Chittagong and a RAB auto-rickshaw... |

| #1 This CNN report shows a picture of the guy who claimed he got a text message from his cousin. He's bleeding from a nasty cut over the eye he got when he (ahem) fell at a prosecutor's office. If, as this report says, twenty people were alive at the time of the crash, they can't have been without oxygen for much more than ten minutes. But the plane was unresponsive for hours. |
