Re: Adam Lanzas hard drive

said by sivran:

I wonder if it was just smashed or also encrypted.

Maybe he was just really thorough in smashing.

After the last Space Shuttle disaster some years ago, Data recovery experts (Kroll) were able to recover over 90% of the hard drive data from the smashed and burned devices.

I expect they will also have success here as well - just takes time

The Space Shuttle itself did not blow up, just the external fuel tank attached to it.

Damage to the shuttle was mostly external. The astronauts were not killed by the explosion. They all died when the mostly intact shuttle hit the ocean after its free fall. Consequently the damage to a lot of internal stuff especially something like a hard drive or a "Black Box" would not necessarily catastrophic.


Shuttle

@ameritech.net

There was more than one Shuttle disaster. I believe that dellsweig was referring to the re-entry disaster, not the launch disaster.

The last space shuttle disaster was not over the ocean. It disintegrated while coming in for a landing and went to many pieces over several states...

Shuttle hit ocean after freefall after external fuel tank blew up = Challenger.

Burned up in atmosphere after heat shield was damaged = Columbia.

Yes, I was referring to the Challenger's destruction--the first disaster.

The Columbia disaster was the second disaster and burnt up on reentry. In that case too one could expect the the HD to have a good chance to be recoverable, especially depending upon where they landed and if they were still within a part of something else.
