Whirlwind Jones posted:Remember when the fire truck drove over that survivor's body? lmbo. When people found that out I said I hope the firefighters were going to investigate the screw-up and goons freaked out at me for firefighter hating and said accidents happen, it was just an accident man ain't no reason to it or way to avoid it. Like I've done emergency response procedures and stuff and if the emergency response itself got someone killed rather than the mishap the next year of my life would be pretty rough as we figured out how something went so poorly regardless of how "tense" and "sudden" the mishap is.

ManifunkDestiny posted:well in the three instances that it happened, the planes crashed into the sea, so..... There are many documented instances of pilots dealing with pitot tube failure. In those cases the pilots notice that the autopilot and instrumentation stopped working and take their hands off the controls because the plane isn't magically going to go into a dive if it's been cruising. You might notice that in the cases of pitot failure leading to an airliner crash, the pilots either failed to notice the problem and or started loving with the controls. That's why the Air France investigation focused more on awareness and communication than "well they were hosed anyway so all they could do was pray".

Overwined posted:I guess, though it seems like hardcore ceramic insulation would be less risky than having a transponder that could be electively shut off. Well when you step through the process you get into things like "Why would someone shut off the transponder in the first place?" and the options are "He's going to ram his own plane into the ocean because his wife left him" or "Hijackers".

Copa Airlines never sent the plane over there but also never told anyone it wasn't coming, then when we tried to get new tickets they said the plane departed Dulles with no passengers so it wasn't their fault we didn't board It took 2 months to get a refund through a chargeback lol

Guess that depends on whether you can actually control cabin air like that through the cockpit in a 777. I know that function isn't available on all airframes. Then again if you've figured out how to hijack a modern 777 then you can probably figure out how to put a hole in the bulkhead.

Go into a bunch of weird acrobatics and nosedives that hed always wanted to pull off, loving with the systems in some way, then just cruising around for a bit before the nut decides that, gently caress it, this stretch of ocean looks as good as any. Nah suicidal people never go like "I'm gonna do some crazy poo poo before I go out" Like the Egypt Air guy could have at least done a barrel roll while crying about his wife

FullLeatherJacket posted:If you leave a plane to do its own thing, it quite often has a tendency to fly up and down for its own amusement. Airliners are specifically designed not to do that. There was a lot more that got hosed up on that Japanese flight than just "they couldn't use the controls", since the vertical stabilizer was completely blown off.

There's literally no way both US and China don't have that technology, why wouldn't they deploy it? Seems like it would use a lot less resources. If you had the capability to locate the plane would you reveal it

If a Chinese fishing trawler doesn't "miraculously" bring up some dude's face and half an engine within the next 5 days then that's all the confirmation the CIA needs that the Chinkos can't task their satellites properly and run automated image processing to pick out debris at a 1 ft visible light resolution because they had that poo poo pinpointed ages ago
