Malaysia Airlines Flight Goes Missing En Route to China

If you have ever flown an airplane (somehow I doubt you have, but I have) you know this is a possible scenario.

So sad for all involved. But by all means, go ahead and keep making light of it. You ignorant yahoo.

They are not overly worried about what happens to the bodies, but I would bet they are disposed of.

OMG, PP is just so funny. Wait, no she's not.

fire in plane

program to nearest acceptable airport

pull the busses and lose systems (communication, transponders)

Plane now heading in new direction

overcome by smoke

plane flies on until it runs out of fuel

My friend is a longstanding pilot for United Airlines (and before that, a fighter pilot for the Navy). I was speaking to his wife today and she said when he heard the pilot had a flight simulator at home, he went, "uh-oh…yikes" and suspects the pilot. She said he doesn't know any pilots that have or *would want* a flight simulator at home. She's a surgeon, and she said it's like how weird would it be for her to do surgery all day and then go home and down to her basement and start doing surgeries. You just don't want to do your job for your hobby.

Anyways again, obviously this is just one pilot's opinion, but he does know a bunch of other pilots…so thought it was worth mentioning.

Maybe so he could practice taking up to 40,000 feet and depressurizing the cabin, and the recovering?

Flight simulator technology has come a long way, but I would imagine that the hard part of depressurizing the cabin and recovering would be the lack of oxygen. I don't think that flight simulators simulate that.

Flight simulators are toys, games. I am sure that there are plenty of doctors who play "Operation" or "Doc McStuffins" with their kids.

Google suggests depressurization is one of the emergencies you can work on.

"annual rapid-decompression training in flight simulators"

http://www.executivetravelmagazine.com/articles/how-pilots-handle-aircraft-decompression

I think given that that mentions training "in" simulators, that it's talking about something far more sophisticated than the kinds of simulators one has in one's home. I could be wrong.

But if money is the object, wouldn't they make more selling the passengers?

Mark my word. The pilots are "players" - they depressurized the cabin, killed the passengers and sold the plane for parts. They will get hundreds of millions of dollars, and the parts won't show up until they have to be replaced.

Cool screenplay you got there bro.

The semiconductor team from TX on that plane knew a lot of valuable info. Just saying.

Any guesses are junk right now. There is a huge chunk of the puzzle left missing. It's like trying to solve a wheel of fortune clue before the round starts.

The plane turned around and flew within cell range according to this article:

Btw it also mention the possibility I raised some pages back: the passengers may have been rapidly killed en masse by depressurization of the cabin; that could also explain why the satalite phones in business class were not (that we know of) used. Or they were also disabled.

Exactly. We just mentioned this.

Thank you to the people posting GIFs. I am too obsessed with this case and I get physically sick thinking about the passengers and what they endured. The GIFs provide a little comic relief.

This sounds very plausible in most ways, except for the continued pinging of the engines for another 8 hours.

Engines ping would be generated from the engines and transmitted by the external communication array. Would not have to go through the planes internal systems.

Not plausible. If they had time to reprogram the plane they would have sent out a distress call or contact ATC

God the cell phones again. Cell phone do not work over 10,000 feet.
