Thanks for sharing and sorry for your loss.
Are the funding transactions not somewhere on the blockchain? (Not sure if this is a dumb question)
I guess what I'm asking is what has made the funds unrecoverable?
The funding transaction shows on the blockchain yes!! Balance of satoshis funded 5 wallets to open channel with the peers, I can see the transactions on blockchain but probably as the crash corrupted channels.db, lnd cant find the channel point to identify that those funds are mine!
I can't recover because it didnt give me time to have the backup static channel (BSC), because the crash happened right after BOS open had the channels pending opened.
You cant have the funds back once you have corrupted the channels.db and dont have proper backup file!

Is it possible that: if you still have the seed for the created lnd wallet, then it's OK that your channel db data is lost, because you could still cooperatively close the channel with the counterparty (because all that's required for that is your key for the 2 of 2 multisig that was funded into)? Well not 'OK' but I mean technically might the funds be recoverable, in that case?
Hmm from a quick search, it seems Rene agrees with this statement: https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/87463/can-funds-from-a-ln-channel-be-recovered-if-both-participants-suffer-data-loss
As per the comments, this is both technical and tricky and certainly not a button press (and I can't even guarantee it's possible).
