What about the EPIRB?? That kept beeping until they found Air Chance even in 15000 feet of the south Atlantic. This ocean depth is significantly less. No one has mentioned the locator beacon. Why?

If I remember correctly - it took them awhile to find those black boxes...

I think it as already known what happened to that airplane. Now they have to come up with a story that doesn’t mention a forbidden topic.

where is the open discussion of a hijacking instead?

Locator beacons are notoriously unreliable; studies show they fail between 30-70% of the time during real emergencies. In some crashes, the transmitter unit tears away from its mount, taking the antenna with it. There is better technology for tracking downed aircraft, but it is not without cost. ELTs are a cheaper, but less reliable alternative.

I think they’re looking way far away from where it is. Shockingly, it appears there is zero Air Traffic Control or something. Nobody seems to know if it was even close to being on course.
