Catch 22 unfortunately with the A320. As its the most flown plane it's statistically more likely to have a fault and also be involved in a terrorist event. I'm heavily involved in their manufacture so I hope it's solved quickly to put minds at ease. Must be earth shattering for the families though.

Early suggestion of electrical fault on here but obviously pure speculation...

Im not sure anyone has admitted responsibility on the terrorist side as of yet.

They learnt a lot from that - I think things are looked into much more thoroughly these days...

What i find hard to understand in our modern tech world is Why the black box data isn't constantly transfered during flights..so at the point of incident end the info is instantly available..
is there a reason why this cant be done? Black box searches can prove very difficult when the ocean is involved

Designed so that they cannot transmit, and as a last line of finding out what may have gone wrong.
If they can transmit, then there's no reason why anyone with the right equipment couldn't listen in. Cost £1000 upwards. There's also the fact that there'd be little to stop a signal being sent the other way, wiping all data from both "Black Boxes".

dont we have encrypted transmissions? To stop that then

Can't see why 2-way communication is needed which would allow the data wiping - a radio station not a telephone. Transmit only encrypted data?
I've worked on installations of ship VDR (Voyage data Recorders) are similar to the BB in that the data can only be recovered from the device itself.

It's why they don't allow one-way transmission and the recorders are kept seperate, other than recording.
