This aircraft is at the bottom of the ocean, probably 600 miles south of Sri Lanka or wherever the ocean is deepest in that area. The pilot pulled a ‘Sully’ maneuver or a belly landing to minimize debris.

I flew out of that part of the world. You would be amazed what passengers took on board, I saw clothes irons, live chickens etc. Watching security do the searches was a hoot. We were on the runway lined up and the flight attendants were still walking around doing their safety briefings.

When we started rolling down the runway the flight attendant started praying. I was so happy to land in Thailand.

For an idea of what goes in that part of the world, Google the Riyadh crash, 163 where passengers bought a gas stove aboard they tried to make tea after take off and started a fire that disabled the flight controls killing all 300+ aboard.

If so then the black boxes would be pinging madly. They are not.
