> I’m not aware of another case of this sort of thing (relevant flight recorder data being overwritten) happening in recent years anyway.

Got me curious how often this happened.

Last example I can find of a CVR being overwritten and not just exploded/missing was in 2018 for an engine fire, similar to this where the flight had to emergency land shortly after take-off. Before that...well a lot of complete failures ("not operative at time of flight") but not many like this scenario.
