Well, OK....just suppose for a moment, the Flight Recorder data (both of them) were 'faked'....just suppose, that is your assertion. WHERE is your proof of that assertion??
Others, here on ATS, have provided the other data from the DFDR....all of this is time-synced, and if you want to tell me that it can be 'faked', considereing it's just digital info from multiple sources, as installed on the airframe, then the burden is on YOU to show how!!!
I think the best pictures that 'darkbluesky' just linked in were:
M-CSP-00009600 and M-CSP-00009601

Oh, second try.....you've seen the DFDR data too? I mentioned it's time-synced, you say it's easy to fake, especially since it's digital.
OK....then WHY does the CVR, which is time-synced, but NOT digital, sync with the DFDR????
See, the CVR, in case you didn't know, is old-school tech....an actual magnetic tape, similar to the old 8-track cassettes if you're old enough to remember. It is a 'continuous-loop' that lasts approximately 30 minutes....it is just an audio tape, with several channels, and as it re-loops, it re-records. Over and over again.
We, in the cockpit, have a bulk-erase option....when on the ground, with the Parking Brake set, there is a red button on the CVR panel that can be pressed, and held, to bulk erase the CVR tape. It is ONLY allowed after the end of a flight, at the gate. Otherwise, it is a violation of FARs.
Since the APU is mounted in the tail of the B757, it would likely be the first thing that 'looked' like a jet engine to be recovered..........

Moving to 2001... where's the aircraft? Even if every part is unrecognizable, there should be a pretty big pile of wreckage somewhere, that comes to approx. 120,000 lbs. I don't see it.

Well there's a good portion of that in the dumpster. I guess you'd need to see all 120,000 lbs. in one place to be convinced?

Why does it look like the aircraft went through a shredder?

Perhaps it crashed into the ground at high speed and laden with fuel? Just a crazy guess.
