Then there is this..
On Friday, Dukane Seacom Inc president Anish Patel told CNN that the recorders were scheduled for battery replacements in 2012, but they were never returned for the overhaul.
so, it was due in 2012 and not done by Dukane.. Dud someone do it? or where they way past due?
Yeah, my umbrage expressed in #63 is not justified, given Patel's statement (I should have RTFA, LOL).
However, if the batteries have gone unreplaced for years, then we shouldn't be hearing anything, should we?
