You do what you can I guess, it is not ideal but neither is using a torch. Standard post op antibiotics should hopefully suffice.

I think we forget Ukraine is a war zone, the fact they're somewhat functioning normally is impressive.

Reply to comment by MuForceShoelace in TIL that flight recorders must be able to withstand an acceleration of 3400 g for 6.5 milliseconds and that this is roughly equivalent to an impact velocity of 270 knots (310 mph; 500 km/h). by IchBinKoloss

If they were at full speed sure, but when planes are engineless (most planes crash when they have no thrust at all), I suspect the speed they touch the ground is very slow as they just lose lift entirely due to lack of speed.
