LuckyMcSwervy 0 #277 March 19, 2014 I think the way some of the grieving relatives were dragged out of the Malaysian press conference was deplorable. I don't know if they were being disruptive or what, but they need to be treated with respect. Can you imagine the backlash if our government treated the relatives of any crash victims in that manner? Holy moly... I thank God every single day I'm American. Always be kinder than you feel. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HeadCone 0 #279 March 20, 2014 This is an interesting theory: http://www.wired.com/autopia/2014/03/mh370-electrical-fire/ Basically, there was a fire the pilots didn't initially notice. When they did notice, they pulled the main bus making the plane go silent. Then they turned left to land at Palau Langkawi because it was safer than Kuala Lampur. Fire gets too bad.

SoCalJumper 0 #298 March 20, 2014 I find it remarkably foolish that a flight crew can simply turn off location data for a $275+ million dollar aircraft or it can be rendered inoperable by a possible electrical fire. Whatever the case may be I would think a tamper-proof system with redundant systems would report it's GPS location worldwide. Most rental cars are equipped with location GPS if needed in the event of recovery. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah....because if it's malfunctioning or otherwise causing a problem, ya sure wouldn't want anybody to be able to shut it down mid-flight. AirBus tried that 'foolproof' thing with the autopilot, remember? - AC got stuck in a holding pattern over London and they had to call the factory to figure out how to shut it off & land. ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Simmer down cupcake. I was referring to a separate system of tracking a $275 million dollar aircraft not connected to flight avionics or controls.
