There’s always some consolation when they analyze the crash and can determine the cause, because then the same problem can be avoided in the future. I hope they are at least able to locate the black box, but it doesn’t sound like they have much to go on location-wise.

After a lighting strike and horrible turbulence, something may have happened to the pilot’s ability to fly the plane.

“I would suggest that potentially it went down very quickly and so quickly that the pilot on board didn’t have a chance to make that emergency call,”
