Am I the only one who hasn't got these flight numbers memorized? Could we not refer to their place of demise instead?

I agree with tivo that it's plausible that flight-data recorders would not survive stuff like that. (FDRs recovered from far less harrowing crashes have disappointed in the past.) So it's plausible, that's all. In any case, did these events not merit the usual investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board with the usual finding on the public record?

Well, if you go to the NTSB site, you find the following for NY: "The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 are under the jurisdiction of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The Safety Board provided requested technical assistance to the FBI, and this material generated by the NTSB is under the control of the FBI. The Safety Board does not plan to issue a report or open a public docket."

So where does that leave us? As so often with 911, in an information limbo.
That is fishy.
