Damn, that’s promotional material that SanDisk would probably not want to have.

Why? It wasn't there submersible, their product wasn't responsible for its destruction and frankly there is very little in the way of public sympathy.

The product is not even rated as waterproof and yet it's survived months at the bottom of the ocean after having survived a destructive implosion.

That's hella marketing.

Why not? If anything, it shows how durable their product is. If it were my company, I would market the shit out of this.

It shows how durable their product is… when stored in an enclosure designed to protect it. The SD card probably didn’t even experience an increase in air pressure.

Nah, more like great promo material for the camera that survived the whole mess mostly intact.

Too bad they dropped the ball by not having the decryption keys for the actual video on the card.

Edit: Apparently they've recover the files.
