    funny how you downplay it all the way till the end, and anything surviving 1000s of Gs is incredibly impressive.

      Well, it’s an order of magnitude less force than the “server room” experienced, considering the whole rack of computers was compressed into a solid mass.

      SanDisk SD cards are actually rated for up to 500Gs, and with how light the SD card is, it can survive these indirect impacts more easily. “1000s of Gs” is just a completely random estimate considering how some of the other heavier internal camera parts were damaged (a circuit board connector sheared off).
