how is an airplane crash investigated?

Question

Not sure if this is a topic for a 5 year old, but I’m curious. I know we have black boxes
that keep record of data, but is it more than that?
I was reading about a B2 stealth bomber crash almost 15 years ago, the USAF investigation determined there
was moisture in the port transducer units causing
the air data system to malfunction.
If the plane crashed, how can they draw the
conclusion that there was moisture anywhere at all?

I’m not an expert but for starters I would think you would need a plane to crash to first in order to investigate it.
