Wouldn't the theory of fire in cockpit, pilots knocked out, plane flies on by itself until runs out of fuel also a possibility in line with the new findings (if it is the plane)? |
Nothing found today. Will have to wait until tomorrow. |
If this is the plane, I now think that the pilot will be revealed to be a hero who diverted the plane from landing on a city (or something) |
Dangonit! |
I have asked this before and no one has responded. If it was a fire, how did the plane continue to fly for so many hours? |
Wait, what? Why didn't the hero use some point in the 7 hours to radio for mayday and try to save everyone instead of crashing into the ocean? |
Hint, they are mocking you. You are very entertaining. |
Maybe someone had a gun to his head and he just took the plane out to open sea, saying he was going to (the hijackers' target) until the plane ran out of fuel. That way he sacrificed himself and the passengers but didn't allow the plane to be used as a weapon. And he wouldn't be able to radio out all during that time. That report says there's a news conference at 2:30 Oslo time. At first I thought "oh, that means this is it" but now I'm not sure; couldn't it be just to say, "oh, we've found something," or "this isn't it" ? |
^^ just checked and that's in 3 min! (it's 9:27am EST Thursday Mar 20 right now) |
What if someone who knows about aviation and mayday was standing in the cockpit and told the pilot not to make a distress call or signal. Maybe someone was standing right there when the copilot said alright goodnight n had a gun or something else on his head and that's why he didn't say mayday |
I don't know -- just a feeling that I have. |
Thank you! I now feel more sane, in a relative way. |
I still think it was the pilot taking one last suicidal joyride to the end of the world. If it were, say, Somali pirates hijacking the plane to Somalia, would they really care if the ACARS was on or off? |
Uh yes, BC they wouldn't want to be tracked.... |
That makes more sense. |
