I did a bit of research - this area where the plane went down is so far out there that there is no radar coverage of the area and poor radio contact. The debris trail and the weather in the area tend to suggest that they encountered what one might call a 'super storm cell' with windflows that far exceed structural limits. No one on board may have even had time to say "o shit" (the usual last remarks heard on a flight recorder).
Collecting the black-box will provide much illumination -- even down at 14000 feet, navy sub trawlers can seek out these things with precision sonar.
No comment on "Bermuda Triangle" remarks, ya'll wouldnt believe me anyway
