seriouspost: can they line the cockpit with

so the pilots could at least see when they start to pitch or roll if they can't feel it themselves?

That string is going to go all over the cockpit as soon as they get up to speed. The only thing that can withstand those speeds is going to have to be way more durable.

I really can't see this being a thing. If the plane was really hijacked, we'd have surely heard about it from a passenger before the plane disappeared. Even ignoring that, if it was really hijacked to be used later, they'd have to hide and refuel a big-rear end plane, and in no way do I believe even the most connected of terrorist groups could possibly do that without being found out.

I'm going to stick to my gradual decompression theory.

You retard, if your plane just crashed and nobody got hurt you'd probably take a pic too

As a Malaysian citizen it's positively embarassing yet not unexpected to see our officials bumbling around like idiots all the time. Only this time the rest of the world gets to have a look too.

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — A Malaysia Airlines plane sent signals to a satellite for four hours after the aircraft went missing, an indication that it was still flying for hundreds of miles or more, a U.S. official briefed on the search said Thursday.

Six days after the plane with 239 people aboard disappeared, Malaysian authorities expanded their search westward toward India, saying the aircraft may have flown for several hours after its last contact with the ground shortly after takeoff from Kuala Lumpur for Beijing.

A string of previous clues about Flight MH370 have led nowhere.

"MH370 went completely silent over the open ocean," said Malaysia's acting Transport Minister Hishammuddin Hussein. "This is a crisis situation. It is a very complex operation, and it is not obviously easy. We are devoting all our energies to the task at hand."

The U.S. official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to discuss the situation by name, said the Boeing 777-200 wasn't transmitting data to the satellite, but was instead sending out a signal to establish contact.

Boeing offers a satellite service that can receive a stream of data during flight on how the aircraft is functioning and relay the information to the plane's home base. The idea is to provide information before the plane lands on whether maintenance work or repairs are needed.

Malaysia Airlines didn't subscribe to that service, but the plane still had the capability to connect with the satellite and was automatically sending pings, the official said.

"It's like when your cellphone is off but it still sends out a little 'I'm here' message to the cellphone network," the official said. "That's how sometimes they can triangulate your position even though you're not calling because the phone every so often sends out a little bleep. That's sort of what this thing was doing."

The plane had enough fuel to fly about four more hours, the U.S. official said.

Boeing did not comment.

So this is why the US says the plane flew for 4 more hours and Malaysia was refuting it:


This keeps on getting weirder and weirder.

The source seems wrong. I believe that the automated engine reports come in via HF radio, not via satellite. At least, they do for Airbus planes.

For FOUR hours? Must have been a hell of a blowjob. The arrangement for the skeezys must have been to give blowjobs to everyone on the plane, starting with first class and then moving down.

What happens to a body after a plane crash into the ocean like that? I mean I've seen the worst stuff on the net so I dont think a bloated plane crash victim would bother me, let alone what's left after 2 years in the ocean

must be one in some sort of academic paper or something
