Hope they find them. But if they don’t like the answers we still may not here them

The EgyptAir Black Boxes Have Been Detected. But Black Boxes Are Really Outdated

> The news that a French Navy vessel has probably found the black boxes from EgyptAir Flight 804 brought huge relief Wednesday to Egyptian and French officials, who have led a frantic search for devices seen as crucial in determining whether a terrorist attack brought down the plane on its way from Paris to Cairo last month... has prompted another reaction: renewed calls to update the way airplanes gather and transmit information, and move past an aging black-box system that was introduced in the 1960s — decades before real-time data streaming became a ubiquitous part of life.
