You may want to take a lok at Log Explorer for SQL Server from http://www.lumigent.com/products/le_sql/le_sql.htm which allows to anylize transaction logs and even recover data using them

Even so, whatever command ran did not nuke the whole table. It left all the records for our other office, which meant something went wrong with the maintenance screen here in our office. That screen uses an updateable cursor that at most does a DELETE one record at a time. I have no idea how thousands of records could have been deleted via that interface.
