They are being sent to Bombay, India where their contents will be analyzed in an attempt to pinpoint the cause of the crash. This remarkable feat of recovery from 6700' under the ocean was achieved using an underwater robot named Scarab I, which is used by AT&T and other communications companies to service and repair undersea cables. The Scarab I and its twin newer version Scarab II were designed and built at AT&T Bell Laboratories at Holmdel between 1977 and 1981. Scarab is an acronym for Submersible Craft Assistant for Repair and Burial. It can operate at depths of upto 9000'. Jishnu Mukerji AT&T Information Systems Lab.
