33. 911 Commission Report says:
The CVRs and FDRs from American 11 and United 175 were not found,
and the CVR from American Flight 77 was badly burned
and not recoverable. See FBI report,"CVR from UA Flight #93," Dec. 4, 2003;
http://www.faqs.org/docs/911/911Report-473.html

Read that again:
"the CVR from American Flight 77 was badly burned and not recoverable."

THERE IS NO EXCUSE
FOR THIS TYPE OF BEHAVIOR COMING FROM A SPECIALLY DESIGNED BLACK BOX.

Yediot Aharonot disclosed on Thursday that some months ago, sections of Ramon's personal diary -- handwritten in Hebrew -- during his last days on the ill-fated space shuttle were recovered in Texas by a Native American tracker. The pieces of paper had somehow survived 1,800-degree heat during the explosion that occurred some 60 kilometers above the earth. Neither the Indian nor the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration could make head or tail out of the unfamiliar Hebrew squiggles. So NASA sent the pages to Rona Ramon, Ilan's widow, who was still in Houston. She immediately identified it as her husband's writing.

The emotional story will be presented in full in a film to be broadcast on Tuesday by Channel Two. The date of the crash was February 1, 2003. In his notes, Ramon expresses his excitement and feeling of good fortune to be aboard the spacecraft and to enjoy views of the Earth and the "thin layer of atmosphere."

Since part of the text was destroyed and the pages were full of holes, Ramon's widow sent the diary to the criminal investigation unit of the Israel Police, which used advanced optical scanners to fill in the lacunae. The film will be presented Monday in a special showing for the family at the Israel Air Force House in Herzliya.

If PAPER could survive
1,800-degree heat
during the explosion that occurred some 60 kilometers above the earth
then WTF is WRONG with the CVRs on Boeing 757s?
