Why is there even an option to turn off the flight recorder data? That just seems illogical.

@kag6 Suicide may be common but suicides in which the lives of many unrelated persons are taken with them are not. Add to that the fact of known problems with 737 rudder controls led to FAA ordered corrective action across thousands of planes and your napkin math doesn't look so convincing.

@mdaLIVE They are circuit breakers much like the ones inside you'r household fusebox. They are designed to cut power to the recorders in the event of power surge. Naturally the pilots need to be able to reset them and they would have to pushed in manually, so of course they can be pulled out manually as well.

@mdaLIVE...It's not a switch that you turn off.You have to pull the fuse.

See this wasn't Boeing's fault, just like the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico wasn't British Petroleum's fault. I don't understand why Boeing and Airbus are simply 'assemblers' and why parts are made from hundreds of other companies worldwide. How is it possible to achieve quality control on a product you sell if you don't make it?

@leez92 u heard them the black boxes were fucked, They were state of the art SSD which have only just now been fixed so they work

This was suicide 100%.....those dirty, greedy, lawyers should be prosecuted.... !

[leez92]

Suicide, he disabled both black boxes. It does not matter that it was done at slightly separate times. He needs to disable those boxes so there is no evidence. His family would not get the huge payout of his life insurance if his death was a suicide. Yea, this is terrible, but what is worse is the fact that a bunch of lawyers were able to convince a jury otherwise. Lawyers saw a huge payday in this, they could make a nun look like Satan when there is that much money to be won.

THEY DIDN'T EVEN TEST THE SERVO VALVE LIKE THEY DID WITH THE OTHER 2 CRASHES. FUCKING LAWYERS

@HotDog12ist additionally, if AT were to remain engaged, it wouldnt be set on full power, but on cruise power. In order to keep the nose down and fight off the lifting effects of the wings, full power has to be applied and full down elevator pressure. The aircraft will fight very hard against the pilot to regain itself so the pilot must push very hard. A PSU failure cannot produce such an event in such a short amount of time. A PSU failure cannot cause a straight nose down dive.
