The issue with the instant explosion is that there would be a mile of degree scattered about from a commercial plane exploding at altitude.

Can we not post irrelevant-to-this-case flight recordings please

Wow, I read somewhere in wikipedia that the FAA is debating whether to civilize vectorial trust. I imagine it would do wonders in cases such like the United Airlines one

[QUOTE=TheTalon;44175806]Should check this one out [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RD4fYxDRNwA[/media] 189 of the nearly 300 people survived. An engine basically exploded and caused all the hydraulics to fail.

[QUOTE=Grimhound;44183440]I wasn't at all kidding. I could see DPRK nationals stealing an airliner and then Un trying to ransom the people off.[/QUOTE] Then the plane would still appear on radar. Talking about radars. The logs on the military radar says the plane may have tried to turn around. [url]http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/03/09/malaysia-airlines-radar-idUSL3N0M605320140309[/url]

[QUOTE=runtime;44179197]Rated disagree (sorry!) and then re-read and rated agree. Although aircraft can "drop off the scope" due to reasons other than it breaking up/suffering structural failure. That said, it's looking most probable that something unexpected has happened to this flight.[/QUOTE] Interested to know why people rated dumb. As far as I know, having flown for a number of years, a winglet falling off an airplane would have no dramatic affect on performance. The poster is entirely correct in his statement that loosing a winglet would result in a dramatic loss of control.

wouldn't a phone go straight to voicemail if the phone is off the grid? if it's ringing then it's on the grid somewhere
[QUOTE=Grimhound;44185783]Or they're getting a voice mailbox and don't realize it has nothing to do with the phone being active or intact.[/QUOTE] Don't know how it is over there, but if you turn your phone off here you get no ringing at all, just an instant mailbox connection. The article is a little vague, but by 'the call got connected' I take it to mean the phone actually rang, which in my experience tends to mean the destination phone is still on and active.
[QUOTE=GoDong-DK;44182962]The plane probably crashed because of the overweight caused by their testicles.[/QUOTE] Haha. It's hard to believe that what essentially caused this crash was just a tiny bit of excess nitrogen gas when the Titanium ingot, used in the #2 fanblade, was made

I like how a bunch of people cringed up when they saw Radiohead. Anywho, I was listening to the recordings of the other crashed and it really just makes me sad hearing that kind of thing. Bummer.
There sure were a lot of Wangs on that plane.
Imagine that moment from the cockpit where you're literally looking at the water, looking at an almost inevitable death - and there's nothing you can possibly do to stop it. Truly, truly terrifying.

[QUOTE=PiX06;44189057]BREAKING NEWS:Vietnamese officials says yellow object seen in search for Flight MH370 is not related to plane's disappearance (Source: BBC News)[/QUOTE] I heard this earlier today and got really disappointed. If the door was adrift, then there was a possible chance that some people escaped on the emergency slides (they can be used as life rafts).
