Elliptical Dick posted:While you are right about all these things (not sure about the horizon though, think the gyros in it would need some juice) it's easy to become disoriented very quickly within seconds of losing all the flight instruments you have grown to rely on in those 15k hours. In fact, I would go so far as to say that full instrument information being always available would be severly detrimental to your capability to remain situationally aware in the case of complete information deprivation. My brother linked me to this article about the final findings regarding Air France 447 and it was really really depressing to read the pilots essentially lose their heads because they're flying at night and without instruments.

I think it's less about cell phones being ubiquitous and more about people not understanding the basis of most technologies. I still meet people that think there is a monthly subscription to get a GPS signal on a device.

What if it didn't crash at all? Maybe they flew too high and are now orbiting the earth, out of fuel and just drifting along.

They were far too busy flying the plane into the ocean to call a Mayday. Edit: And who would they have called to? Weren't they outside radio range? Doubleedit: Nope, still would have been able to reach ATC by radio. Bondematt fucked around with this message at 16:34 on Mar 12, 2014 |

I heard some guy on a conspiracy nut terrestrial radio show last night suggesting that they were conducting some Philadelphia Experiment test with HAARP, and created an "EM vortex" that sucked the plane into space.

And yet the Atlantic Ocean is much much deeper and bigger (can't remember but the black box and most of the debris, along with many bodies were found deep down, like around 4000 meters, which is roughly 12,000 feet). Sure, it took them two years to find the most important evidences but the wreckage was in the middle of nowhere deep down, in a very big ocean and it "only" took them two or three days to find some floating pieces and bodies. The whole sea surrounding the Malaysian peninsula is very shallow. Either the South Asian military sucks or the plane just went far away from the area. Or both.

"South Asia" is a region on the other side of the Indian Ocean. Based on latest reports, it seems the Vietnamese have realised that Malaysian authorities do not have their poo poo together and so have re-commenced their search. Malaysians and residents of Malaysia will not be particularly surprised. Hope this doesn't damage MAS too badly. Back when I travelled more regularly in the region, I flew them frequently and always got good service. They're no Garuda.

Anonymous Zebra posted:Serious post: Is it possible that something catastrophic occurred with the electrical systems causing the pilots to lose their flight instruments/transponder/radio, but the plane was still able to stay in the air for a time It's kinda close to not possible at all without the plane totally coming apart in many pieces. The 777 has ten electrical generators for redundancy, and if the they all fail there are battery back ups that take over. You could rip the plane in half, and both chunks would quite possibly still have power to all the vital poo poo until it hit the ground.

"Good service" isn't really relevant at all for flight safety. I bet those aussie girls also got "good service" when the same MAS pilots invited them for some fun in the cockpit during flight.

They couldn't have done a worse piloting job if they were intentionally trying to crash the drat thing. A five-year old with half an hour of experience playing FSX would have saved that plane.

Pretty sure Stephen King already wrote a book about this plane. If you don't like reading you can watch this 90s poorly acted miniseries: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPqML9D4n1g

They have never had a bad safety record/reputation to my knowledge, and they treat the freight well. Hence "not Garuda". But then I'm not in the airline business, so who knows maybe there are lots of skeletons in their closet that an air mech could fill us in on.
