Good update and a possible lead into where the debris is.

If the aircraft had continued onward, besides squawking, it should've also stayed on course - it'd also almost certainly be flying on LNAV by that point, so it would be continuing on it's filed route. That's what happened with that Helios flight - out flew to it's destination and then entered a hold over Athens until running out of fuel.

That's a pity...the odds are rising by the hour :hmmm:

Oberon 03-13-14 06:43 AM

Well, if one solid piece of information has come out of this it's that the Malaysian transport ministry needs a complete restructure... :doh:

The families of the missing passengers should be thankful that the flight wasn't with Ryanair

They would have been invoiced for the plane and possibly charged a finders fee

About as good as all the other speculations. But I did resist that temptation.

I did hear Malaysia Airlines has a damaged aircraft for sale.
I've a report the Pilot was Sum Ting Wong and the Co-Pilot was Ho Lee Chit.
:haha:

Feeling funny, asshats?


Maybe it's time to leave Subsim, land of hypocrisy, where dropping an F-Bomb might get you into the brig for breaking the holy moral code, yet making fun about horrible incidents like this - where the fate of hundreds of people is still unknown and hundreds of families live in agony - is totally funny.

I love dark humor.
I can laugh about just anything, yet there is always a right and a wrong time to pull such jokes. If you are unable to see this or have trouble with timing, don't do it.

This comment is not only directed to those quoted above, nor only in regard of this thread alone, but to everyone who used this or other incidents to pull stupid jokes, to get a moment of "oh isn't he funny!" fame.
And no, this has nothing to do with lightening the mood or trying to handle the situation, it has to do with being an *******, period.

I bit my tongue in the last couple of years when things like this happened, but when I think about how strict Subsim is regarding even the lightest profanity, I can only shake my head that things like this are, obviously, appropriate.

No need to light candles, shed crocodile tears, or be overly sentimental about it - people die, every friggin day, in thousands and due to terrible circumstances.

But should that be a green light for losing respect completely?
"They won't hear us!"
Oh good, then let's play the "what they don't know" game and drop morality overboard as soon as no one is looking, who cares right?
Like cheating on your partner... hey, who cares as long as she/he doesn't know, right?

Seven Hells, what do I care, just screw you guys! :nope:

Oberon 03-13-14 01:59 PM

Myeah, it's a valid point, I really shouldn't have posted that. I'd delete it but what is done is done. Point taken and accepted.

krashkart 03-13-14 05:42 PM

CBS is telling me that the plane pinged satellites for four hours after contact was lost. The search area has grown to a 2,500 mi. radius.

Dread Knot 03-13-14 05:48 PM

If they don't find this plane by April 1st, it could make for interesting headlines that day.

didnt they do this with the search for steve fosset's crash?

Quote:

DigitalGlobe has spent the last five days uploading high-resolution satellite and aerial images to its Tomnod site that let people explore the seas for clues about the crash, as well signs of a wreckage or oil slick.
Images are then tagged by users and analysed by experts before the most significant sightings are sent to the search teams in Asia.
