Probably. With an M8000 as a backup I'd say.

Just amazing that they can do that kind of recovery that quick and not break the damn thing in half.

Depending on who did the recovery, this was probably pretty easy. There was a show on Discovery or TLC there a WW2 Bomber (I think it was a B17c) that had crashed when nearly brand new and left for 50 some odd years was brought up. They had to half un-earth the plane, then lift it in a way that would prevent it from disintergrating as it was lifting from it's resting place and place on a barge, and they even pulled that off too!

little off topic, but check out the videos for "plane wing deflection test" or something along those lines. by the time the wings break they look like bird wings, freakin crazy.

airplanes have to meet some strict ass standards, I always figured going down in a plane would be fine cuz you'd never feel it... now I would make sure we were either going full tilt or drag ass slow... glad those people got the latter.
