Hi Jack,
Yes that right, just before your plane suffers fire you say to ground control ‘goodnight’ and switch off all tracking beacons.
Anyway It seems that not paying attention to mainstream media has made YOU LESS clearer about what might have happened to it. BBC has more reporting power than National Radio for example.
Why I disagree with the above:
-If a tyre overheats the rubber melts and breaks up , it doesn’t- burn.
-The landing gear bays are out side in unpressurised areas meaning any possible smoke can not make its way into the pressurised cabin and the ocygen level outside would not support combustion
-Even if smoke did come inside, the crew oxygen masks allow a 100% oxygen pressurised flow specifically for use during smoke filled environments
-It is now agreed that the turn off-course was pre-programmed before final contact, indicating a premeditated motive.
– The plane was still pinging a satellite 7 hours later, meaning it was at least relatively still intact long after it would have crashed if there had been a fire.
– And the fire knocked out the electricals so it couldn’t communicate but not the electricals that kept the plane flying
-If the crew were overcome by smoke the aircraft would have perished very soon after.
– If you read other aviation experts view in an event of a fire you get the plane on the ground ASAP not get choosy about which runway is best. You go to the nearest flat area
-why would a pilot execute a turn to the nearest safe airport in an emergency on autopilot?
– why no Mayday alert – in your link above the writer speaks to a pilot by the name of Neil Vasavda who says the pilot would have had time to make a distress call from 35k feet.
– why did the plane climb to 45,000 feet and then drop suddenly to 5,000 feet? Surely that indicates that someone was in charge of the controls? Another example – the plane flying low beneath radar and then climbing again?
Dylan, we don’t really know the exact circumstances so to your first point, at the time that ‘Good night’ was given, they may have been unaware of the faults on the plane.
But by not following mainstream media trying to fill air time for ratings, I don’t have to entertain some of the more outlandish theories or the Malaysian government confusing the issue.
The only time I get to listen to the wireless is in the car, so no BBC Radio for me.
However, your other points have merit—and prove that having a dialogue like this beats wasting one’s time with some of the less educated perspectives in the media. I haven’t a problem chatting to someone who has thought it through—and from what I understand of the media analysis, there are plenty of “experts” who haven’t.
