Dunno, to help disable electrical fires on the very high powered radio in the cockpit.
Actual reason is so they can be turned off on the ground and not overload air traffic control systems at major transportation hubs.

Did anyone check the airport in Malaysia? Maybe everyone got on the wrong plane, and it's still sitting there at the gate.

I believe the black boxes only record the last two hours of flight audio, so all the good poo poo is gone since the theory is that the plane was in the air for way longer than that after whatever happened that caused it to go off course.

They probably use vox.

From the passenger list, the plane carried the following:

- 6 Bunyips
- 2 Wendigos
- 152 Yerens
- 4 Peludas
- Jackie Chan
- 5 Pogeyans
- 7 Orang Pendeks
- 2 I dunno, some kinda Iranian ghost
- 50 Orang Mawas
- 1 Flying Dutchman
- 2 Hakawais
- 1 Chuchunya
- 1 Hungry Ghost
- 2 Pripyat mutants
- 3 Bigfoots

My theory is that Josh Gates stole the plane.

I'm really not sure about this list. I don't think the Flying Dutchman would actually fit on a 777 due to weight limits, like that time Kevin Smith got thrown off a plane, only with sails instead of XXXX(?)L t-shirts.

I believe you'll find that not only are ghosts weightless, they also don't need seat belt extenders.

Then why don't they make the whole plane out of ghosts then? Couldn't sink if it were weightless.

Alternate theory: The co-pilot invited ghosts into the cockpit. The plane can now only be seen with night vision goggles and is waiting for a contract with A&E.

vv I doubt your commitment to Sparkle Motion.
