Why indeed. With the obvious caveat that the source here is uber-suspect, it has always been incredibly fishy that these boxes weren't found. They're made to survive and virtually always do. The only thing I can figure is that the actual data might accentuate the gross incompetence on display by all concerned on that morning, and shake confidence in an already reeling airline industry. Those planes almost certainly deviated from their prescribed flight plans LOOOOOOONNNNNNG before they hit those buildings, yet no major alarm was raised.

The planes deviated from flight paths because the pilots were killed. The hijackers turned off the tracking transponder systems and reset the autopilots to the WTC destination. Their deviations were not noticed, but the lack of transponder signals were noticed. No one knew where the planes were for a while. I am certain some ATF alarms were raised while people wondered what was happening. There were also calls from cell phones and in flight phones. People knew but the usual hijacking up to this time resulted in a plane being flown to Cuba.

The black boxes were destroyed in the collapse of the buildings with the resultant pressure and grinding of tons and tons of concrete. Use your head, things were ground to smytherines in that environment. Remember the silly story of the tourist who supposedly "road" the collapsing building down and survived? What will you believe? What makes sense? BTW the tourist was a hoax too.

The same can be said about skyscrapers, but this was an exceptionally destructive situation.

I knew two people who disappeared in that building. Not a single cell that used to make up their body has ever been identified. They were vaporized. That doesn't happen very often either.
