I want to see the captain's flight simulator setup. I found his channel but it just had stuff on air conditioners and things. It must have been taken down. Anybody mirror it?

Zogo posted:Then when you realize these "black boxes" have 8-track Doobie Brothers technology inside. Any commercial aircraft currently flying use solid-state technology. gradenko_2000 posted:Since the black boxes only have a limited amount of recording time, is it possible for something to happen to a plane, and then the plane stays aloft long enough that the moment the failure happened falls off the recording range of the tape? Yes, like Helios 522 & Payne Stewart's jet.

It would be too heavy to include the needed shielding to allow humans on board. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear-powered_aircraft

mckenna posted:Am I right in saying that, even if the black box / CVR is eventually found, it's unlikely we'll never know why this plane was diverted and ditched into the sea? Only the last two hours will be on the CVR, although the Flight data recorder holds 24 hours. If the last two hours of the tape are mostly silent it would be telling that only one person is in the cockpit, etc. Or if it's totally silent(no breathing, using of the controls) it will tell you nobody was in the cockpit. So it will still give some information, but motivations, that cannot be said for sure.

I really hope they didn't do a water landing and the people have been cooking on a raft for a month.  edit: miles o brien works for CNN.

vulvamancer posted:They found the Air France 447 boxes about 2 years after it went down, but they knew where it was pretty quickly. I imagine if they find the actual crash location they'll eventually get the boxes. I've been wondering lately though if the boxes are solid state or tape/magnetic storage. I think it would be solid state, but so what if it was tape anyway. The technology is well proven.

This might sound callous but I hope they all died when it crashed. If they've been floating for over a month on a life raft, that's horrible to imagine.

Where is "here" that pilots have their own restroom?

SLICK GOKU BABY posted:That's what you call Karma for the Russians shooting down that other plane (that was also found quickly) That's a really idiotic line of thought. The people on that plane didn't have anything to do with the shootdown. I guess 9/11 was karma for Iran Air 655? Or a U.S. crash that happened soon after?

Chinatown posted:5 days to find wreckage. That included debris, oil slick, and remains. I watched a documentary on finding the Air France 447 wreckage quite a while ago. The company hired to determine the probable location of the resting place used some cool math & simulations to find it. With that information it was found within a week of resuming search operations. IIRC it's thought that the black box "pingers" didn't actually work because that area had already been searched with underwater microphones in the first search effort (during the first 30 days when the pingers are active or whatever). That area was thought to have been searched already because they did that but the probability reports kept coming back to that area so they found it this time with sonar. I don't remember which documentary it was but probably something on PBS. MH370 of course wasn't actually flying on any course that we know of so who knows.

FlamingLiberal posted:Ultimately it may never be found because they have no good idea which direction it went and the potential search area is enormous. I mean we've already found pieces so the black boxes could be thousands of miles away from the crash site for all we know. Yeah, what I meant to imply is finding AF447 was a cool thing since somebody asked about that but it was still on a flight path that we knew, so we can't compare. I have faith we'll find more someday but...

WAR DOGS OF SOCHI posted:"Crashed during a landing attempt." I think in that video it's already bounced off the runway and isn't flying straight into the ground like it looks. Really difficult to tell exactly without some context though.
