when the Space Shuttle blew up 60km above Texas, over 98% of the data was recovered from the disks found in the debris.
Context from http://www.informationweek.com/storage/disaster-recovery/hard-drive-data-fro...: "... the drive had melted before landing with other debris in Texas, but the drive was only half full and since the astronauts had used DOS the data was not scattered. The portion of the drive containing the data was not damaged and Edwards recovered almost all of the data". Not really at the "almost impossible" end of the data-recovery spectrum. -- Email to luv-sub@tripleg.net.au will bounce. Email to george at the same domain will accept.
