    Is it possible the co-pilot had some kind of seizure or fit, and while the captain popped out to call for help the door slammed shut behind him in the confusion, and the co-pilot accidently kicked this altitude setting thingie into the starting "zero altitude" position ?

    Of course that idea is absurd if the audio recording clearly indicates measured breathing and no unusual sounding background commotion. But one should try and consider every possible angle.

                Why don't they have video recording in the cockpit at all times? Or do they, but it broke?

                Also, why isn't this stuff transmitted live when possible instead of relying solely on a black box?

                  All the a/c in the sky broadcasting cockpit video to where? Satellites?

                    Planes have allowed phone calls for decades. Modern planes are starting to offer internet access. Planes are in constant radio communication as it is.

                    Clearly it isn't reliable but why not do it when available?
