'''2.''' There is no evidence of impairment of the electrical system (High Frequency broadcast by KAL 007 to Japanese ground control after detonation of missile and all four engines reported by co-pilot to pilot to be operating normally.)

'''3.''' Both recorders "stopped" minutes prior to any conjectured aerial mishap that might have damaged the Black Box (substantiated by both radar tracking and military real-time communications). ICAO notes that the cessation of recordings occurring 1 minute and 44 seconds after missile detonation is consonant with a high speed impact while it also maintains that there was no impact at that time. There is no reconciliation of data supplied or suggestion as to what else might have caused the cessation of recording. "Spliced joints were found at approximately 108, 440, 442, and 463 ft. from the beginning of the tape.  The middle two were spaced at a distance corresponding to the length of the tape between the two reels and the last data was recorded between these two joints.  It was not unusual for the tape to break as a result of high speed impacts, near where it left the reels." (ICAO Report, 1993, pg. 30, paragraph 1.14.3.5.4)

'''4.''' Both recorders, with electric lines on opposite sites of the fuselage and with separate points of attachments to their respective instruments, "stopped working" at precisely the same second - an incredible unlikelihood. ICAO '93 analysis notes no known reason for this to have happened.
