That dailymail article said something to the effect that the toddler was believed to have been found about 21 miles closer to the airport than the cockpit. Well, the tail came down about a mile before the cockpit, so that leaves 20 miles of flying from toddler to tail. That is about 2,5 minutes of flying, during which FR24 data shows not so much as a hint of anything going on, during which nothing was communicated out of the aircraft, and during which nothing out of the normal was recorded by FDR (if we assume it kept recording up until about when the tail was shredded.) Believable?
