Most recent report/speculation I've seen on the news is the possibility it could have flown an additional 3000 miles in any direction if the hull became depressurised and everyone was starved of oxygen rendering them unconscious.

:har::har::har:

That's some glider! :salute:

Rather....that's some auto pilot...it has been known to happen before IIRC.

You haven't seen me comment this thread, until now

I really don't like to speculate in things that is not in my area of knowledge.

I follow the news about the development of this missing airliner

and I have this evening heard many theories

Was taking a look at yesterdays program of Coast to Coast to see what they had on their program and guess what....

Markus

What? :hmmm:

It showed lots of thoeries but no answer of course.

Have made some small changes to my post hope you can read and understand it now.

Markus

True, but the aircraft would have continued to transmit merrily on its way, updating its course on ACARS until it crashed into the sea.

Is there an equivalent to the Bermuda Triangle in the Far East? Maybe same position opposite Bermuda through the core of the planet. My maths is not good enough to work out the Lat and Long of an equivalent position. :ping:

There's the Dragon's Triangle, but it's not in the area we are talking about.

Sorry but I'm afraid I can't.

Probably me :doh:

Looks like China may have found something...

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

I even used google translate and subsims "check spelling"

:wah:

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.

No cigar yet...

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

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

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:
