I think...
.... when it's all said and done unfortunately the one reason that stands
out most about that missing plane going to 45,000 feet for a few was to make sure they didn't have another Pennsylvania scenario where the passengers took over the plane. I heard a flight captain say if they went to 45,000 and dumped the cabin pressure, the folks would pass out in three seconds, and die in minutes.. while the captain and the hijackers wore masks??? |

II have heard that a lot too. If nothing else they will stop pounding on the cockpit door and be going back to their seats for the drop down cups but they are only going to last 10 minutes or so, then they die quietly in their seat. One scenario that makes a little sense is that they were originally headed for Mogadishu or some other African **** hole as a ransom attempt. That is what the original path after the transponder went off. Then they may have had an insurrection in the cabin, they started doing those strange maneuvers to quell the riot and without their hostages they went somewhere else. One of the "stans" is a possibility but I would still bet money they are at the bottom of the Indian Ocean. The CVR would certainly answer a lot of these questions. Of particular interest might be what they were telling the passengers. They could keep the ruse that there was a problem and they were heading to another airport ... until they passed the Malaysian coast and headed into the Indian Ocean. That was when things got screwy. Did they remember to turn off the seat back flight tracker? How many phone GPS units will work on a plane? I was wondering about the cell phone GPS also. Seems like if they landed someplace at least some phones would be pinging their location, even if the passengers were dead. If the plane is on the ocean floor, that's another story. That all gets back to the "ringing" phones. There should be a phone company somewhere that can say if they were being pinged by these phones if they were. If they were reporting active roaming to a real phone company they should be able to track that down. It certainly pops on your bill. The batteries are long dead by now tho. They were likely over the open ocean with their phones off or in airplane mode. There's not a good chance of any mobile phone records helping. |
