All wiring of failed sensors goes through wheel well area.

Perhaps the wheel and attached strut extended over California and took some sensors/wiring with it when it snapped off...

It's a good thought but I bet the external pressures on the vehicle during this phase are so high that the gear motor couldn't extend the strut if it was trying to.

Pay attention. Read carefully. The man said that sensors in wheel well were lost in a staggered fashion, and specifically said that this happened after CA, and further, that the staggered loss of sensor indicates something other than sudden change at that moment.

They would have had warning that a hatch or wheel well door was open.

He said specifically that the sensors failed sequentially...not simultaneously.
