===The Soviet Black Box Deception II:  The Black Box itself===

===The Soviet Black Box Deception II:  The Black Box itself===

The Soviets handed over only one minute and 44 seconds of the Black Box tapes. Both the Cockpit Voice Recorder and Digital Flight Data Recorder tapes which should have continued functioning until the end of the flight, whether by termination of the flight or by a crash, had  "ceased simultaneously" (ICAO '93, 1.14.3.10.13). ICAO analysis of the Russian Federation supplied Black Box itself concluded that the damage to it "might have resulted from a high speed water impact" (1.14.3.4.2).  But the conjectured "high speed water impact" would have been at or after the documented 12 minutes post attack flight, and not at one minute and 44 seconds after missile detonation. The possible "high speed water impact" can not explain, then, the fact that the tapes ceased at 1 minute and 44 seconds. '''The rest of the tapes would have documented what the Soviet high command saw on their screens, as shown by the Soviet military communications handed to ICAO by the Russian Federation - KAL 007 regaining control, maintaining level flight at 16, 242 ft, turning, and descending in a spiral around Moneron Island.  Why had the rest of the tapes not been returned by the Soviets and where are they now?'''

There are credible but as yet unconfirmed reports of survivors in the former Soviet Union, including Congressman Larry McDonald <ref>http://www.rescue007.org/faq.htm#10</ref> <ref>http://www.rescue007.org/survivors_of_kal_007.htm</ref>.  Jewish immigrants to Israel from the former Soviet Union reported seeing survivors from the flight.  According to reports, most of the adult passengers ended up in labor camps, while the children were adopted out and absorbed into Soviet society.  Congressman McDonald was interrogated in Lubyanka Prison in Moscow for a time before he too was sent to forced labor.
