maqroll Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 If the cockpit was rushed and the plane crashed, you'd think one of these terrorist groups would have claimed responsibility. But not a peep. The area where people speculate it may have crashed is well travelled by freighters...but nothing...if the plane was in a nosedive, then maybe the entirety of the thing went straight underwater and whatever scraps remaining on the surface are just too minuscule to have been detected yet. Strange case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Hijacked and blown up is my guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyC Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 The plane could glide down into the sea and simply sink much like the plane that landed on the Hudson river. In this case though people could have got out and would be found dead or alive floating in the sea with life jackets on. Could a complete malfunction of the electrics have stopped the pilots from making a mayday in this case? My guess is a hijacking and the plane has been flown under radar to somewhere remote and we are due an imminent ransom demand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather the swifter end than the thrill of surviving a plane crash and then floating in the sea for days anticipating rescue under the threat of imminent dehydration and nasty sea creatures.

My guess is a hijacking and the plane has been flown under radar to somewhere remote and we are due an imminent ransom demand. Landing an aircraft with wing mounted engines on water from a glide, so presumably out of fuel, would likely result in a crash situation similar to the Ethiopian incident in the Comores a few years ago. The Hudson landing of a similarly configured aircraft was nothing short of miraculous. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is pointing more towards someone taking control of the plane though .... And this someone seems to know exactly what they were doing i.e transponder turned off , following waypoints etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must have had a French pilot This was the flight where lots of passengers drowned as they inflated their life jackets inside the plane and got trapped inside as it filled up , wasn't it ?

Electric Avenue Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 If I was placing a bet I'd say it's in the bed of the ocean , just strange no debris has surfaced or started to wash up yet. The Air France plane that vanished without trace was at the bottom of the ocean 6 miles down but the Indian Ocean is relatively shallow . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyM3000 Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 They are now saying it might have flown another 5 hours after. They can see a car license plate from space but can't find out where this plane is. Mental. If it went on back over land someone must have sent a text or something. Some of the phones ring out too, seem strange. Must have been a black smoke monster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baselayers Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 I assume by some freak incident there is somehow very little debris on the water service an it's at the bottom of the ocean with the black box **** up.if it had been blown up in the air then surely the debris would have been found for miles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electric Avenue Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 AF447 (pilot error) not much wreckage , plane hit the ocean nose up and just mashed into the water. Limited breakup, part of the tail was found first as that impacted the water first, the vast majority of the plane went to the bottom without a trace.
