Don't worry, it was already effed (you can see the head crash), so we just took it out back and played Baseball with it.

billions?? I don't think you have any idea of how data recovery works. Yes, it wouldn't be cheap, but it would not even be in the millions. It likely wouldn't even break into the hundreds of thousands. And you'd likely get much more than a kilobyte. It doesn't matter that you had a head crash, the data is still on the platters. Sure, some will likely be corrupt, but I think you're vastly underestimating modern data recovery services.
