They have a recording so analysis is being done.
I think the second coming yielded a sound for 13 minutes and its significance is that it was where two signals, were detected within 2000 meters of eachother. The depth in the area is given as about 4500 meters, which is even deeper than the Air France 447. source
Could the black boxes be 600km away from each other? This is a huge distance, I don't think they could end up being that far away from each other. Probably there's a false positive in one location.

Or a whale ate one of them and is trolling everyone by swimming around.

Anyway, your reporting has been excellent!
Thanks for the corrections. I'm really surprised by how long the 24 hour news networks take to report on the press conferences. I couldn't find any printed sources on that info.

define "intact". but it's highly unlikely, if we assume a crash and not a controlled landing. At crash-speed, water behaves a lot like concrete.
Yeah, Like it landed on the water, then sunk. A bigger crash would equal more debris which im finding hard to believe that they hardly found any debris.,

If it hit at very high velocity straight down into the water it could also cause such disintegration that the small pieces would be very difficult to find from a plane and such.

There is no such thing as landing on water for a plane of that size.

its funny how ppl think you can ''land'' a huge jet on water like that. Its likely landing at a speed of 150 mph (240 km/h). Pretty sure at ''landing'' speed water behaves like concrete too.

Didnt someone land a big plane in Hudson river in usa?

yes. so it's clearly not impossible since it has been done.

Pressure would crush it as it sink i guess.
Pressure wouldn't crush anything as long as water got inside.
Apparently the 777 is a nightmare to ditch in water because the engines are ridiculously big and would cause drag issues not conducive to life (the plane would cart wheel).

Considering it took them forever to realise they were looking in the wrong place I'm not surprised they've had trouble finding debris.
