Because since this happened around a decade ago the planes black boxes would definitely be broken and have irreversible damage and the aircraft would be significantly damaged from sitting in the ocean for so long so even if we find it can we figure out why is crashed?

With modern technology, we can piece together ancient shattered clay tablets with a long-dead language on them and then read them. We could put that plane back together and find out TONS of information from it. The Titanic has been sunk to the bottom of the ocean for 100+ years and we still get useful information from its pieces.
was there footage of the plane being circled by orbs and vanishing or was that fake
I’ve wondered this too. They may be able to find wreckage. But I’d assume instruments like the black box will have degraded from over a decade of being under water at the crushing depths in the ocean. At the very least, it would give the families closure
Probably can rule a lot out at least
I often joke that the best way to solve a cold case is to call an air crash investigator. They’re like wizards or something. They will absolutely figure out what happened. No doubt in my mind.
It depends on condition on CVR and FDR.
We already know a lot – plane was deliberately hijacked, taken into middle of nowhere and crashed in the ocean once it ran out of fuel.
If investigators manage to recover data from black boxes, we’ll get to know details that are unclear like: who did this (captain, FO or maybe even third party), whether passengers were conscious or killed by decompressing the cabin etc.
We all know this is a cover up.
The batteries run out but it’d be pretty dumb to make them with memory that isn’t permanent. No different than powering off a pc for a decade
Absolutely, and even just finding it would answer a lot of questions by knowing where it went.
Additionally, there is a lot you can learn by looking at the damage. For example the damage will look a certain way if the plane dove nose first into the water versus gently “landing” on the water’s surface then sinking.
Also the state of the passenger seats would tell us a lot. For example if all the seatbelts are buckled that would indicate passenger seats were likely incapacitated for the duration of the event, as opposed to finding a bunch of seatbelts unbuckled and the cockpit door damaged which would indicate resistance.
Then there’s things like whether or not the engines have damage from tearing themselves apart from the inside due to something like a bird strike (incredibly unlikely in this case) as opposed to being destroyed from impacting the water.
Also if there was a giant hole in the side of the aircraft that could indicate it was shot down.
So yes, even without the black box we’d likely be able to piece together exactly what happened by just looking at the debris.
Modern “black boxes” record to flash, much like what is in an SD card. They’ll be readable with some love from an electrnics wizard.
