I am Toni Lippi posted:It's incredibly hard to locate down aircraft when you have no idea where it is. It's hard to find them when you have an idea of where it went down, especially when there is water involved. A few years ago a plane from the airfield I work at went down with two experienced pilots, no comms, just gone. Even though they knew within a thirteen square mile area of where they were doing maneuvers it took them almost two months to find the bird in the water. Did they work out why?

Al Borland posted:Because blowing up a plane of irrelevant people in the middle of nowhere sends a STRONG message. Especially when you don't step forward and claim responsibility for the attack. I thought it was 18,000 hours? I have never see a plane toilet with a seatbelt.

kierrie posted:It seems the most likely explanation at this point. Either the aircraft exploded at high altitude or it was diverted off course before crashing. Shouldn't an explosion have triggered the beacon though? Unless it was destroyed, i guess?

Scooter_McCabe posted:Terrorism is scarier than "3rd world country with 3rd world safety standards suffers its semi-annual airplane disaster" and so why wouldn't a 24 hour news cycle run on speculation lead with the most fear inducing headline? Malaysia air had a pretty good safety record didn't it? It's not super third world. MrFrosty posted:I'm Malaysian but what the gently caress. How can you say that? That poo poo's delicious. Would eat it every meal every day if it weren't 1000+ calories a plate. I could happily eat roti canai every day.
