You're still thinking that these things would just basically be forced towards the center of the BH really hard, but that's just not how black holes work. The definition of the event horizon is literally that nothing can escape it once that thing crosses the threshold. It would take infinite energy to winch the capsule back up, if it magically survived (which it wouldn't) and anything inside the capsule would be exposed to such extreme forces the data would be unrecognizable.
