Re the Ethiopian accident - It has been inferred (both officially and unofficially?) that a bird strike immediately after take off likely tore off the AoA vane which in turn then started the chain of events where MCAS extreme ND inputs lead to the crash a few minutes later.
In these days of fantastic Forensics that we now have, I am puzzled that any evidence of the vane and/or the bird were not found along the aircraft track...
Surely as these tragic and deadly events have now caused such a huge impact on civil aviation that no Forensic sweep(s) seem to have been undertaken at no expense...
Just my tuppence, but if a bird strike was suspected soon after the crash why was this not an imperative, nor a return to the scene to sweep again?
