Unfortunately the black box only records the last 2 hours of a flight so we'll most likely never find out what happened even if the black box is found.

Is this true? This is the most depressing point made today. Partly because if they were all unconcious/dead and it was on autopilot for over 2 hours, we'll never know if the pilot was in on it or trying to protect everyone.

Yes, it's a 2 hour loop. We'll never know.

WhY do you people lie so much? WTF is wrong with you???


A flight data recorder is required to store a minimum of 25 hours of flight information. A cockpit voice recorder is required to record a minimum of 2 hours of audio information

You are wrong. This just came up on CNN last night. The expert they interviewed specifically stated that only the last 2 hours of cockpit conversations would be recorded. I have no idea how much info is contained in the flight data recorder but the voice recorder is only 2 hours.

No, the poster is correct. 2 hours CVR, 25 hours FDR. The FDR will have a lot of useful information.

??

Um, that's exactly what I've said (twice now). Two hours of cockpit voice recordings. As a result, it's unlikely that we'll ever know what transpired in the cockpit at the time the plane went off-course.

Um, I'm responding to the person who started her post with You are Wrong.

WHY WOULD ANYONE HIJACK A PLANE AND FLY IT FOR 7 HOURS??? WHY? WHY? WHY? DOESNT MAKE SENSE

It wasn't hijacked in the sense of crash to kill. It was intentionally diverted for an unknown reason.

Which was my post. I was responding to people who said the CVR would have recorded more than 2 hours of data. That is incorrect. It records on a two hour loop.

but what other reason can someone have to divert an airplane????? why fly it for 7 hours????

As already suggested, maybe they want to use it as a flying bomb later on.

+1 I can think of no other reason. None.

And they will just hold on to this plane for days, months, years till they are ready and no one will notice ?? watching TV Much????

You need state support(as in a country) to do that and states have access to planes. So why hijack a plane to use as a bomb and have everyone in the aviation world looking for it, when you can just give the terrorist one of the ones you already have? Either way law enforce will know what country helped the terrorist. It is a big operation to fly, maintain, and fuel a commercial jet liner.

It probably won't draw much attention since it is a commercial plane and switching air space controlled by different countries would allow it go undetected because controllers won't suspect anything other than just another commercial flight flying through their air space.

You are making an assumption that someone was flying the plane for 7 hours. You don't know what happened aboard that plane. Perhaps the pilot was alive, or trying to deal with a malfunction at first, and later passed out, and the plane went on flying on autopilot until it ran out of fuel and plunged into the Indian Ocean.

Maybe the pilot turned off the transponder and the other device (whatever it was) by hand, but after that, who knows what happened? If you are dealing with a hijacker and potential mass murderer, the state of mind of this person has to be pretty unstable once he starts stealing the plane.

Most of this weird scenario could be explained by malfunctioning equipment, but once the plane changed direction, it becomes clear that someone did it deliberately, but toward what end? And where is the plane? It simply can't be on dry land. The odds of that are infinitesimal unless this was a brilliant plot by a mastermind, timed and planned to perfection.

Don't comment on Air Traffic Control. Just don't.

PP here. I was just checking on the depth of the Indian Ocean and some parts are deeper than 20,000 feet which is the deepest the FDR and CVRs are able to keep pinging. I wonder if this jackass was trying to go down in the deepest part of the Indian Ocean so the boxes wouldn't be located and how possible it would be to plan that.


What's the motive? Why would someone try to blow up a jet and then hide the work that they died for?


Maybe it was pilot suicide whereby the pilot just flew the plane until he was ready to enter deep water.

Well, if you have life insurance and there in no proof that you splashed the plane, the company would have to pay out. But if you crash it in to a mountain and they prove the pilot did it, no insurance pay out for the pilot's family.
