Nice for the families to now be able to bury their loved ones. However, lost in a forest 10 km from civilisation for 70 years.....Brings into perspective the problems finding a Boeing 777 in the pacific Ocean/Indian Ocean........?

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.
