Oh, it gets even worse!

The NTSB also had some comments on the ship's equivalent of a black box. Turns out it was impossible to download the data while it was still inside the ship, the manufacturer's software was awful and the various agencies had a group chat to share 3rd party software(!), the software exported thousands of separate files, audio tracks were mixed to the point of being nearly unusable, and the black box stopped recording some metrics after power loss "because it wasn't required to" - despite the data still being available.

At least they didn't have anything negative to say about the crew: they reacted timely and adequately - they just didn't stand a chance.

It’s pretty common for black boxes to be load shed during an emergency. Kind of funny how that was allowed for a long time.

"they reacted timely and adequately" and yet: they're indefinitely restricted (detained isn't the right word, but you get it) to Baltimore, while the ship is free to resume service.
