  1. Sometimes the explanation to a situation is the simplest one. The aircraft will be found one day, most probably in pieces by the fisherfolk.
  2. It's all so confusing, can't they just assign just ONE spokesperson on behalf of all the incompetent agencies as an outlet to the press? Seriously with multiple mouths spewing garbage it's doing many people's head in.
  3. I've sat in a Firefly F-50 cockpit whose Captain smoked in the cockpit. Smoking is illegal in anywhere in the aircraft, right?
  4. Re. the possibility of the aircraft trying to turn back, it could have well been radar return of a large chunk of the aircraft falling and tumbling after an inflight break up... Baffles me why the military aren't releasing some sort of playback, do they need to 'filter' something first?
  5. Point #1: You could also argue the passenger might have left behind/lost/misplaced their phone, and the phone is not actually on their person nor the flight. Point #3: A good passport forgery might have hoodwinked immigration, or maybe the mystery pax did look caucasian. Besides, no one ever look that caucasian anymore these days what with the mixing of genes.
  6. With the sheer number of aircraft and vessels who's coordinating the SAR effort?
  7. I know right, they should've got someone else to speak on their behalf, someone who could at least string together a complete sentence.
  8. It's gone past the supposed point of disappearance of yesterday's flight 370 now. Can't imagine what the mood's like in the cabin tonight
  9. This could mean a grave security lapse with disastrous consequences.
  10. No, fuel dumping at altitude would've resulted in the fuel stream evaporating.
  11. Best-case scenario is ditching at sea, but then the "successful" ditching in history were during the day. Looking pretty bleak now.
  12. The aircraft's gone down then if the ELT is transmitting, hope there are survivors.
  13. Whatever it is, it must've been something so sudden. Explosive decompression, missile strike...
  14. Which one? Cracks appearing or the article saying planes take off and land on taxiways? Both?
  15. The thrust line angle of the ATR relative to the fuselage never ceases to amaze me
  16. There's a small military installation atop the rocky island. They were lucky indeed, steep drop-offs all around the island.
