Could the people that boarded with stolen passports (which I'm not sure how they did unless they look exactly like the person in the passport or switched out the pictures) knew the location of the black box and disabled it? Either that or the plane was hijacked and they turned off all communication signals?
You can't remove them. One is in the tail of the plane, the other is lodged in the cockpit and is inaccessible.
Even with communication signals turned off, you can still pick up a plane via other radar systems and/or satellite. A moving object in the sky is a moving object. You can track it, even if it's transponder is off. That's what's so crazy. It just disappeared.
Ahh I didn't know that. I thought there was only one maybe underneath the luggage area that could be disabled somehow. Well there goes that theory.
