Of course the recorders… and everybody else… would still be alive if that airport wasn’t built like a maximum security prison.

One of my buddies at SWA mentioned that this aircraft was built in ‘09.
The FAA issued an Advisory Circular (AC) in ‘13 mandating FDRs built after ‘13 have mandatory backup power.
This -800’s were obviously built earlier which might explain why there was no data the last 4 minutes of the crash- a dual engine failure with power loss and not using the APU for electrical.
