Soo.... cliff notes buddy?

[ModSocks]

Could it be that Flight MH370 didn't simply vanish, but was instead abducted by extraterrestrial beings?

Ancient astronaut theorists say yes.

Holy sheezus I watched those this weekend. I know precisely what that quote is. Ashamedly.



“Does this mean XYZ? And if so....”

[Eleazar]

The cliff notes are that it's an interesting accounting of how the only reasonable explanation is that it was intentional on the part of one of the pilots.

Yeah that.

If you've followed along the MH370 story then there's nothing new in there. It just put it all together in one place.

By deduction the main pilot likely killed everyone by de-pressurizing the cabin and then manually took control of the flight. Once the plane had been re-routed, he re-pressurized the cabin and put the plane on auto pilot till it ran out of fuel. He was likely the lone man in a plane full of dead people for several hours and enjoyed the soft hum of the plane and sunrise before falling into the ocean where the plane likely disintegrated.

While I think that makes sense and all, shouldn't there be some kind of wreckage somewhere?

[chinaski]

Article discusses that...they have found various bits and pieces attributed to the aircraft.

[O.city]

The plane was going down so fast it likely broke apart into confetti. So while they've had some pieces float up here or there and there is likely "some" wreckage somewhere, they don't really know where to look.

[Hoopsdoc]

Not only that, but thanks to the incompetence and dishonesty of the Malaysians, they looked in the wrong spot for quite a while.

Goddamn that's just such a fucking scary creepy story. What an evil crazy bastard.

Goddamn that's just such a ****ing scary creepy story. What an evil crazy bastard.

Now I have to read it

Crazy that they just don't know what the hell happened. Well, the public doesn't. I'm guessing Malaysia does.

[BigRedChief]

Crazy that they just don't know what the hell happened. Well, the public doesn't. I'm guessing Malaysia does.the only rational and not insane explanation is a human being in the cockpit decided for reasons that are unknown, as of yet, to crash the plane.

You can be sure that Malaysia knows more about these pilots than they have released publicly. They are not exactly an open government down there.

They mention that the plane was intentionally nose dived into rather than gliding level towards the ocean. 15000/ft per minute from around 35000 feet.

Could have just run out of fuel at cruising altitude

I had actually read this first before the story you posted in the Op which is more informative.

This is one is just chilling.

Yarp. I got sucked in too when I saw the adds for the new season.

Indeed.

Could have just run out of fuel at cruising altitude

It might just glide down, though. Planes are generally stable enough to avoid noise dives. However, I think modern planes are inherently less stable than older planes for performance reasons, so who knows.

[DenverChief]

It did. But the rate of descent was much faster than it would have been if it had just ran out of fuel and glided to the earth.

[FAX]

That seems to be a pretty comprehensive analysis of the case. I'm not sure that the ChiefsPlanet Investigations Division could do a whole lot better ... based on the facts as we know them, of course.

There is, however, the possibility that this could be a simple case of a cockpit blowjob gone bad which is a scenario the author seemed to inexplicably exclude from consideration.

[Why Not?]

With all the safety measures in place theses days, you’d think they’d come up with some way to stop a crazy pilot from being a 1st Mate’s piss break away from being able to kill hundreds of innocents because his wife is fucking someone else or whatever.

[Eleazar]

It did. But the rate of descent was much faster than it would have been if it had just ran out of fuel and glided to the earth.

Is it a sure thing that a plane running out of fuel at 30k feet is going to gently glide to the ground, regardless of conditions and such? Seems like it could run out of fuel and stall, and end up nose down

Thanks for the link, very interesting indeed. The last few paragraphs are absolutely spot on, that is, finding the plane and the black boxes now will reveal little to nothing about why this happened. There's a cover up by the Malaysian government and the police in particular. Someone or some people in the Malaysian government know way, way more than they have released. Start poking around Kuala Lampur and someone is going to finally start talking about what they really know about this tragic flight.

"Poking around" in Kuala Lumpur is a damn good way to experience an episode of involuntary suicide.

From the article...


Had Zaharie already died in flight? He could at some point have depressurized the airplane again and brought his life to an end.

This is disputed and far from certain. Indeed, there is some suspicion, from fuel-exhaustion simulations that investigators have run, that the airplane, if simply left alone, would not have dived quite as radically as the satellite data suggest that it did—a suspicion, in other words, that someone was at the controls at the end, actively helping to crash the airplane.

Either way, somewhere along the seventh arc, after the engines failed from lack of fuel, the airplane entered a vicious spiral dive with descent rates that ultimately may have exceeded 15,000 feet a minute. We know from that descent rate, as well as from Blaine Gibson’s shattered debris, that the airplane disintegrated into confetti when it hit the water.





Other examples



On 23 July 1983, due to a chain of events and mistakes Air Canada Flight 143, a Boeing 767–200, was fueled using pounds as the unit of measure instead of kilograms, resulting in only half the required amount of fuel being on board. The aircraft used up all available fuel and glided to Gimli Industrial Park Airport where the airliner landed safely. The aircraft (now decommissioned) became known as the "Gimli Glider."





The crew of Indian Airlines Flight 440, an Airbus A300B2-101, executed a missed approach procedure at Hyderabad-Begumpet Airport on 15 November 1993 due to poor visibility. During the missed approach a problem developed when the flaps would not retract fully. After some time trying to solve the flap problem and find somewhere to land near Hyderabad, the crew diverted the aircraft to Madras but because they had to fly slower due to the extended flaps the aircraft ran out of fuel. It landed in a paddy field near Tirupati; there were no fatalities among the 262 occupants but the aircraft was written-off.




On 24 August 2001, Air Transat Flight 236 suffered a fuel leak while crossing the Atlantic Ocean and lost its fuel. The aircraft glided safely to an air base in the Azores.

[Nickhead]

well, duh, it crashed into the ocean :D

thats with a live crew flying it to the end though.


I'd like to know more about the simulations they did if there was no one at the controls. What would the autopilot attempt to do when engine thrust failed?

I am sure they ran these sorts of tests, I just didn't read far enough to get to the parts DenverChief quoted :D

[tatorhog]

they disappeared into the past, Langolier-style.

More accurately, his wife left him for fucking stewardesses.

That seems like it could make a good action movie plot

[Coyote]

My favorite line:
''we all sleep with our flight attendants''

The only other theory I’ve heard is a O2 bottle rupture. Apollo 13 style. Has happened a few times but tough to explain the flight pattern around countries airspace so probably not.

[Pushead2]

As someone who works in the airline industry, a few people I work with (including myself), follow this guy for MH370 stuff.
