No data on cockpit voice recorder, official says, because it had been overwritten after two hours

Also of note:

Homendy said the cockpit voice recorder did not capture any data because it had been overwritten and again called on regulators to mandate retrofitting existing planes with recorders that capture 25 hours of data, up from the two hours required at present.

    There’s another bit of information that this particular plane was restricted from flying to Hawaii because it had had frequent alarms in previous flights that would indicate a cabin pressure problem. This was not a “sudden” thing.

      Yea, only 9.807 m/s^2. Just imagine if the craft was flying over Jupiter. Uranus is a little gassier, butt imagine flying over Jupiter.
