ohh yea yea i get ya. my bad!
jevil when it comes to that airplane there are 4 different electrical compartments. all are shielded from lightning except for 1 part, the cone of the airplane nose where the weather radar is. if they shield it then the radar wouldn't work so what i've gathered is lightning hit the cone and caused a ems (electro magnetic surge) in that electrical compartment. now from what i read up the second one electrical compartment goes down the plane automatically switches to manual mode in which a pilot must take over.
there were also flying into a heavily stormy part of the sea and well without a weather radar they didnt realise they were flying into a massive storm and well...etc you get the idea.
just found this on google news - they think they found bits of the plane but they cannot confirm yet. link here :
