Andrew Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Hmm, I wonder if depth of black box under pressure would damage it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErasOmnius Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Hopefull the Black Box confirms what is believed -- that icing caused the plane to go down into the sea. Hopefully it wasn't something more nefarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectral Paladin Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 I had watched a documentary about this not too long ago. The theory was that the speed sensors froze up, causing the autopilot to malfunction and the aircraft entered a spin from which the pilots were unable to recover on their own.More precisely, the sensors were covered with ice due to the presence of supercooled water in the storm clouds. You can find videos of the phenomenon on youtube: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
