Most everyone knows that electronic devices and salt water do NOT get along well. Let's just hope that they DO recover it, and find out what happened.
I think you mean they're orange.

Other that that I agree completely with your comments. That deep water, that's a lot pressure. It's completely possible they locate the "pingers' and find them detached from the data recorders. Then the odds of finding the data is near zip.

How sad. Did she know him well? Is she doing alright?
