Actually. Its not even confirmed that even if the search teams "magically" find the Black box from The vast Indian ocean. It would be of any help in solving the mystery .. Take a look at this :
A part of the article i just read about it.
KUALA LUMPUR: Even if searchers are able
to miraculously pluck Malaysia Airlines flight
370's "black box" from the depths of the vast
Indian Ocean, experts say it may not solve
one of aviation's greatest mysteries.
Planes, ships and state-of-the-art tracking
equipment are hunting for any trace of the
passenger jet, which Malaysia said crashed in
the forbidding waters after veering far from
its intended course.
They face a huge challenge locating the
Boeing 777's "black box", which holds vital
clues to determining what caused the plane
to vanish after it took off from Kuala Lumpur
en route to Beijing on March 8.
But experts believe the flight data recorder
and cockpit voice recorder may not yield
answers on the riddle of how and why the
plane diverted an hour into the flight, and
embarked on a baffling journey to the
southern reaches of the Indian Ocean.
The data recorder details the aircraft's path
and other mechanical information for the
flight's duration, and "should provide a
wealth of information", US-based aviation
consultancy firm Leeham Co said in a
commentary.
But the cockpit voice recorder, which could
reveal what decisions were made by those at
the helm and why, retains only the last two
hours of conversations before the plane's
demise. That means potentially crucial exchanges
surrounding the initial diversion, which took
place halfway between Malaysia and
Vietnam, will be lost.
"Clearly, it won't reveal anything that
happened over the Gulf of Thailand, this will
have been overwritten by the end of
MH370," it said.
Leeham added that it also remains to be seen
whether the cockpit recorder will contain
anything pertinent about the plane's final
two hours, when it is believed to have either
ditched or run out of fuel.
