MH370 Malaysian Airlines missing

If it were a Payne Stewart type of gradual decompression, those inside would initially just go to sleep before eventually dying, and the a/c would continue on its original heading until it ran out of fuel as happened with the Greek Helios Airways flight 522 in August 2005. The a/s transponder would also continue to send out ident information. This doesn't appear to be the case.

Positive sighting, if you can call it that of debri around 24 metres long plus other debris, certainly seems credible that its gone down now in the sea, but, it has done a complete U-turn and flew until it ran out of fuel!

At face value it would seem logical that the cockpit was taken over and the plane sabotaged in this way, for what reasons, will we ever know:confused:

The satellite photo's being shown of the debris are nearly 4 days old?

wonder why they havent got there yet physically if its 4 days old?

plus if it was that then why would it change course completely.

I guess it takes time for the images to be processed and enhanced and then they have to validate the satellite images so they can be sure it is worthwhile diverting resources to search in that location. In addition they'll have to be estimated drift from location originally spotted - I hear that they'll do that by going to the satellite located position - drop a marker buoy and track it - then on basis of buoy drift predict where what has been spotted is most likely to be.
 
also take into account how far theses parts would have floated from the original crash site since the day of the accident .. they might still never find the original crash site

Boots do a 1 hour service now- it's very good
 
Its not looking good at all if I has indeed crash there in the southern indian ocean , its deep water there

This will come down to money. It cost approx £25 million to find the Air France wreckage, but that region was full of u/w canyons and mountains. Where this 'debris' has been spotted is indeed deep, but it is relatively flat bottom. Add a Zero onto the Air France cost and they may locate it.

Was the Air France wreckage not found at the bottom of the Atlantic?
 
If this was a terrorist incident why would the perpetrating organisation not make a statement about it? If they didn't they would not make any political gain by the act.
 
Looks like it might be in the southern oceans.. HMAS Success expects to pick up objects that may be part of MH370 within a couple of hours...
 
Looks now that its in the southern Indian ocean off Australia and only needs to be confirm by finding the wreck or bits off , also looks like the pilot had problems at home hence flew the plane to an area where it may never be found to end it all , who will pay for it to be found , the Chinese will never give up so I think they will be force to carry on for the sake of their citizens and many rules will change because of this , passport checks , the end for a need of a black box to be the end of all , another way of keeping records along with the black box and the other tracking devices will not be able to be switched off and checks on the crews mental states plus hand over of the air traffic control , changes for the better and safer new method of working and reporting will come into force ......................................
 
I wonder why the Cockpit voice and data recorders dont have a floatation device attached to them? Or they could be recorded and stored in the 'cloud' rather than sit in the cockpit..

I suppose they are probably fixed down and if there is 10 tones of cockpit attached to it, its going to be a problem providing any buoyancy.
 
With it only being 100 miles away and some pretty strong currents just now I'd guess there's a fair chance something will show up here eventually. Can only hope they find some reason for it to help everyone involved
 
Wherefore art thou conspiracy theorists? - though they will no doubt put out that this is but a diversionary ploy - and that the plane is sitting in the middle of a jungle somewhere with the poor passengers enslaved to a megalomaniac despot building a facility in which to house a ray gun that can destroy the Pentagon.

It's sounding very much like pilot action of the sort that we didn't really believe could occur - until Andreas Lubitz and Germanwings Flight 9525
