maybe they were on their "cell phones"---and not paying attention?
My idea is, that the crash occurred because of the pilots using the EPR reading as a reference for the power setting they used. If the PT2 tubes are blocked by whatever these gauges are useless, because they don't give you the correct power setting. By using the EPR readings the N1 readings should also be monitored, because on the type of engines used on this aircraft the EPR readings are calculated based on the N1 readings.
Hate the word Black Box ? mmmmmm while we all know that the Flight Recorders are in fact a bright ORANGE in color !!!!
Split hairs much?
The black box is the term used because of it is the connotation of holding the darkest of the news from the flight; like a Black Day in history.

Or Black Friday for shopping?
Early versions were, in fact, black in colour.
