...case, odds are that the only thing that could kill Potter now would be some rapid dive in popularity due to an American knock-off. Until then, I'll be waiting in line for the next book, unless I get one from Santa Claus...
...Even the flight-data analysis was incomplete, however. The last six seconds of tape, which had been damaged while under water, remain to be deciphered. But even then, investigators now know that the recorder stopped working late in the dive, but before - according to radar data - the plane climbed more than a mile and a half before its final plunge into the ocean. So Wednesday's press conference was mostly a heads-up to the media on the fact that investigators have more questions than answers...
...feed your cat and walk your dog. It's helpful to have a friend or neighbor meet your guests and show them the basics: how to use the vcr, where the vacuum cleaner is.

That might suggest a last-ditch attempt by the crew to gain control of the stricken craft, which could have broken up under structural stress if the pilot had attempted to pull too quickly out of a 700-mph dive. But the cause of that initial dive - like everything else associated with Flight 990's final moments - remains in the province of speculation, which can't begin to be resolved before the flight data recorders have been analyzed. And those remain on the ocean floor off Nantucket, as stormy seas...
