I'd been meaning to do a piece on John Farmer's continued FOIA follow-up and recent legal actions to get ahold of the non-truncated serial bit stream original FDR file from Flight 77. He had previously found up to six seconds of data missing, and my humble math in fact shows something closer to eight seconds gone, both of which are well beyond normal, expected data loss. For whatever reason, it sniffs of willful deletion, and his previous requests had the NTSB insisting to original data these incomplete interpretations were made from DOES NOT EXIST, indicating it was perhaps destroyed, in violation of federal law. So without any further confused commentary, here is the news I just received via e-mail:
