I'm sure they will try to recover anything floating at least.
Maybe black boxes if the technology (underwater recovery) somehow would allow?
Thank you.
Odds are high these boxes have sonar “pingers” on them. If they can be detected at depth, and accessed, they will tell a great deal. One thing that newer aircraft data systems do very well, is to scream like a girl on the way down. Flight 1549 certainly did. Compared to 30 years ago, there are literally hundreds of parameters recorded at very high bit rates. Interestingly enough, Airbus equipment streams data continuously as it flies along (I would suspect the newer Boeings do as well). Techs at the maintenance bases have access to what is happening on a real time basis because of this wireless communication. Not entirely sure what's streamed and how much over the ocean. I would imagine there are sat data links, but I would also expect that the bit rate would not be nearly as good as what is available from ground stations when it is over land areas. Anyone know for sure?
Some reports have the plane down new an island group, so perhaps some shallow water could be in the picture....
But, given all that I have heard, it would be a miracle of the first order to even find the wreckage.
