Ned Nederlander Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Here's a pilot's 'Startlingly Simple Theory About the Missing Malaysian Jet': http://www.wired.com/autopia/2014/03/mh370-electrical-fire/ The boring and sad answer to what happened is probably a electrical fire knocked out communications, the pilot had time to turn left for the nearest appropriate airport, Langkawi, before conking out from the fumes, and the plane flew on for a few hours on automatic before plunging into the southern Indian ocean. This guy's a bit up himself but convincing. He's got an update below the comments section.. https://plus.google.com/106271056358366282907/posts/GoeVjHJaGBz . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chomp my root Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Here's a pilot's 'Startlingly Simple Theory About the Missing Malaysian Jet': http://www.wired.com/autopia/2014/03/mh370-electrical-fire/ I'm no air engineer but that all makes sense. If there's an electrical fire, you'd shut down fuse panels and test them before re-energising to restores services. I've no idea if the radios (I'm pretty sure they'll have redundancy, and I'd have thought they'd have radios over different frequency ranges) are fed from different supplies but its not inconceivable that they're fed from a common link if you go far enough upline. As for the flight path, it seems sensible enough what the guys saying but it does remove all the fun stuff like aliens, suicide, Spectre or Durkadurkastan unfortunately. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry about those things. Now that they are out there and the various tin foil hat sites have given their nut bag theories they won't go back on them, they never do. If they find the wreckage it will no doubt have been planted or another plane was blown up to cover up what actually happened. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 It was Muslim terrorists who crashed it in to the sea in a startling attack on the ocean after they were told that Posiedon had called Allah a c**t. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Expect your fatwa in the post ! If the sender doesn't use enough postage and the letter is returned to them, does that mean they would get the fatwa? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

banana Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 (edited) I'm no air engineer but that all makes sense. If there's an electrical fire, you'd shut down fuse panels and test them before re-energising to restores services. I've no idea if the radios (I'm pretty sure they'll have redundancy, and I'd have thought they'd have radios over different frequency ranges) are fed from different supplies but its not inconceivable that they're fed from a common link if you go far enough upline. As for the flight path, it seems sensible enough what the guys saying but it does remove all the fun stuff like aliens, suicide, Spectre or Durkadurkastan unfortunately. His theory doesn't account for the plane's flight path being programmed (totally off course) about 10 minutes *before* the all clear in the goodnight call.

Dee Man Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 24 metre long piece of wreckage found in South China Sea according to 5 Live. Waiting on confirmation. I hope it isn't, I like this thread. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
