New debris of MH370 found in Madagascar
Five new pieces of debris that could belong to the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 have been found in Madagascar. (www.bbc.com) Mais...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Just pure speculation here, but what if the pilot of Flight MH370 pulled off a successful ditching, like the "Miracle on the Hudson"? When the plane ran out of fuel, he glided down to the ocean surface and managed to land the aircraft with minimal damage, so it would sink in one piece, keeping most of the debris and bodies of passengers trapped inside the aircraft as it sank? This theory allows for the lack of debris found from the flight.
I cannot understand why these flight tracking sites like Flight Aware & many others have no data on MH370 . I mean track any flight at random .. eg Flight CX749 Hong Kong to Joburg .. all the data is there .. Distance , to go , done , height , altitude , speed , take offs , directions everthing thing & you can plot it out after the flight is completed .. I,m just a layman but what strikes me as very strange is that there is no information like this for MH370.. crazy
All these tracking sites use transponder information. MH370's transponders were either turned off or failed. After that, raw ground radar information was available out to a certain distance and then finally satellite pings from engine reporting systems were the best they could do. Basically, turn your transponder off and you disappear from tracking sites.
Ok thanks .. I should have realised that .. silly oversight on my part .. but even so .. I am still amazed in this modern era how a plane that size can simply "vanish " ... I guess I,m not the only one .. !! Thank you Bill
I am not an expert but it seems with ocean currents and so many things that have been lost or disappeared or thrown into the waters through the years,it would be difficult to assure any piece of floating "something" was part of that specific aircraft...
That is what investigators are for.
