the only time that a 777 has had a fatality was the Asiana flight, and even then it could be argued the fire truck helped in that figure

Still haven't heard if they have found the wreckage, rumors floating around it may have been hijacked as air authorities are saying it's unusual no beacon was deployed.

Courier Mail posted an image of a couple killed and then slashed their watermark over it as if it's an exclusive image, I'd be disgusted if I was that family.

thats not cool mosfx, hope that CM pull their watermark off the image


the reports seems to be bouncing between 6 and 7 aussie now, however the airline (which has been pretty open and timely with all information to date I have to say) have only stated 7, and it looks like the reports of 6 are from other news agencys picking up on a mistake (???)

the beacons dont work past a certain depth underwater, but the 777 is a robust plane, so it would I feel left a large degree of debris if it hit hard enough for the beacons to sink quickly enough to not get a signal

while it looks all rather bleak, there is hope that it was something that has gone wrong, and those people on board are safe and waiting to be found and rescued

it all depends on what caused the plane to go down, both engine's failing would mean the pilot still had control, and there would be a chance, even if there was a complete failure of all electrics, being a boeing it could still be controlled to a degree, but that is sort of best chance stuff I know

Why can we track planes from our home PC but the professionals can just lose one so suddenly? the 777 is meant to also be a super safe plane but i guess that only lasts until something like this maybe happens.

Edit: yep I'm going to guess a bombing. An Italian and Austrian reportedly on the flight manifest have been identified as not boarded the plane. With the Italians passport being recently stolen.

Yeah blows my mind that they can just lose a modern plane like has happened.

The entire world is not covered by radar, actually almost all of australia isn't covered by radar either, pretty much just the coastal areas are.
Planes are tracked by Navaids and by ATC and the pilots + computers self-reporting their position periodically.
ATC computers then interpolate the data that's constantly received to know where the plane is and should be.
Separation rules in non-radar coverage areas are significantly larger because a plane effectively has a 'cone' of where it could end up. The further away you're predicting it to be the larger the area it could be.

So unfortunately it is entirely possible to lose a plane.

That information isn't entirely 100% correct. One of my good friends is both a pilot, did Aviation Engineering and now his day job is an Air Traffic Controller out of Brisbane Airport here, so I will ask him again about controlled airspace.
I kinda glazed over when I was being educated on it.
IFR airspace and planes doesn't interest me too much

Pretty sad news. Especially for anyone's friends or families that was on the plane.

Isn't the most likely explanation that the plane just crashed? It would be good if they could recover the black box. Though, dunno how likely that'll be given how big the ocean is.

I like to think it wasn't any involvement from terrorists, especially in this post 9/11 world.

If the plane crashed it would of sent out it's distress beacon, this is what the issue is they never received it so more than likely something has happened to it suddenly, I'm leaning towards terrorism with Chinese separatists.

there isn't a history of 777's just "crashing"

even if there was a problem and the pilot didn't call (he might have been too busy getting control, or handling something) the plane would have sent out a message (the engines for one are sending data to GE/PW/RR all the time to help monitor the state of the engines, and times to service etc)

also, it appears that the plane was still sending data after radar contact was lost for 2-3 minutes (so after it had descended), that data however wasn't positioning, just normal aircraft systems data, which at this point doesn't answer any questions


also, there are reports that the debris found last night ISN'T from the aircraft like first thought (the fact that there isn't a debris field could mean that the aircraft landed/crashed and stayed intact, which leads to hope still, but if people had evac'd the plane there would have been an distress signal from the rafts, so there is still alot that remains unanswered until the aircraft/people are found (any hope tho is fading :( )

Hasn't there only been 2 777s involved in crashes? 1 was the BA flight at Heathrow that had dodgy fuel, everybody lived. The other was the Asiana flight that landed short (pilot error) with 3 people dead and apparently 2 of them were killed when an ambo of fire engine ran over them in the grass.

PS: Asiana is such a good airline, other than pilots that look like this;

spot on ph33x

the BA flight was ice build up in the engines, and the only "crash" that could be slightly caused by the aircraft, but there were other factors like possible fuel contamination

as for the Asiana flight at SFO, that wasn't the aircraft's fault at all, infact that aircraft type helped keep the death rate low

current (until this flight is found) there are only three deaths that have been caused by this aircraft type (and you could argue that 2 of those were the Asiana pilot, and one a fire truck, but the figures dont take that into account)

I don't really know what to make of that.. If the transponders were turned off, can't the plane still be seen by passive radar? Where would it have gone? If it was hijacked, why wasn't demands made in those hours? Or a crash on land? Where is a place a plane like that 'could' safely land without ever being spotted on a radar? What?

This article leads me to think the plane may have been stolen. Maybe there was someone important on the plane

WSJ: Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 Probe Sharpens Focus on Sabotage

Apparently it turned off its tracking, then changed direction and height and flew in (above) the commercial jetliner routes used on trips to Europe/MidEast, so would have been very hard to pick up in those busy lanes. Every hour it pinged a satellite for five hours. Apparently it takes a considerable amount of technical know how to disable that ping, so it either crashed within the following hour or some government or group with significant resources and know-how just stole a plane full of people.

The chance of getting away with it would be incredibly small unless you had someone in the C***pit. Maybe one of the Pilots was shot early or drugged.

My initial guess was plane got hijacked and hijacker manually override the plane and cut off all communications. Land the plan somewhere very isolated and already arranged and hold hostages (but they wanna mess around so that the investigators keep on investigating until a couple more days/weeks when they popup with footages etc). Not going to name any potential countries, but possibly hijacker has something against the Chinese (since the majority of the passengers are Chinese)

Or another scenario would be hijacker took control of the plane, fly it for sometimes and crash it to the ocean (possibly area which is out of the range currently being investigated)

Either way, family members would prefer the first news. So sadddd

Yep.

Clearly one of two things is the case. 1: The plane crashed into the ocean, the majority of the time out of radar range, or 2: Radar defences are way overestimated.

If it's this flakey finding a 777, how are these missile defense systems really supposed to do the job they are purported to do?

I have never bought a commercial airliner before but this sounds a little far fetched.

There is a little plausibility in the WMD theory in that a fully fueled 777 would be able to take off a lot further away from its target, as in it would have a huge range if it was more of a missile than a passenger plane. Perhaps they are planning on circumventing detection or imitating another flight to get close enough to the target for the Air force to stop them. They have already shown they have the technical expertise by switching off they tracking systems.

Its a lot more likely there was something on the plane they wanted tho. The Freescale employees perhaps.
I heard they also made high tech weapons??

Being on a hijacked aircraft would be absolutely terrifying, but there aren't words to describe the feeling when you find out the plane full of people was hijacked for you and your 19 work mates. Stuck working in some industrial research dungeon having watched the other 180 passengers executed. If that's what has happened fiction has a lot of catching up to do.

Firstly Malaysia really dropped the ball on the communication side information was slow and I had the impression they had no idea where it was.

Air France plane they found wreckage 5 days after it crashed, took them two years to find the black box.

This is different the US have said this plane went on a lot longer after it lost contact, I bet anti-terror agencies are going nuts looking for this thing.

I'm flying to Singapore next week it'll be interesting to see if there have been changes to security, even though Australia is pretty tough already.

It also could be that countries like china did detect the plane with radar but don't want to give away their military prowess? So they feign not seeing it?

Yeah pretty much. I suspect high level governments have a very good idea/know exactly what happened to the plane but they have to leak information out slowly and feign stupidity so as to not show off the extent of their own surveillance technology.

In point form: They thought it went down, but it "appears" to have been sending a ping to satellites for "up to" about 7.5 hours. The pings contain no data, but they are pings nonetheless - If that's the case, it either crashed into the ocean, or flew low (to avoid radar) over a pack of countries then landed safely. There is about 600-700 airports that are within fuel range + have the distance to pull up a plane like this, last I heard they were checking them, as well as the radar/satellite data around the countries they suspect the place may have flown over. They are referencing when certain satellites lost contact with the plane over time, and the trajectory of them satellites to try and pinpoint where the plane would have been at the time.

So really, it's still 50/50 as to whether it crashes in water or landed still to this day.

The media are trumping this up as much as they can at the moment.

Also the initial change in altitude to above the recommended flying height, if accompanied by cabin depressurization would've taken care of all the passengers in a matter of seconds - apparently 9-16 seconds at that height and humans have lost functional conciousness

It's also not possible for that plane to fly at that height hence why they said when the engines sent data of 45,000ft that "the data does not make sense".

At that altitude the plane would simply cease to fly. And before that it's service ceiling is well below 45,000ft. Meaning a measly ~300ft/min climb at maximum thrust.
The closer you get to a planes absolute ceiling (the maximum height at which a fixed wing aircraft can theoretically fly at maximum thrust whereby its engines are producing exactly the required amount of thrust to overcome aerodynamic drag at exactly the minimum airspeed required to maintain lift [no loss of altitude] in perfect co-ordinated flight).

Another way of looking at is it's like approaching the speed of light. The closer you get, the harder it gets to achieve.
The closer to absolute ceiling a plane gets the more likely it is to just fall out of the sky. Trying to get to it in level flight is almost impossible because a mere degree or two of pitch, yaw or roll would mean the aircraft would stall and probably even enter a violent spin at those sorts of altitudes which would be catastrophic an certain destruction for a passenger jet like a 777.

A 777 just does not have the thrust capability to get anywhere near those altitudes by zoom climbing either ('rocketing upwards' at a rate of ascent greater than its sustainable climb rate by engine power). Especially since the higher you go the faster you need to travel due to less dense air thus the maximum rate of sustainable climb is lessened, therefore the ability to produce 'excess speed' to zoom climb with becomes more difficult to attain and that excess speed also yields less return on the ascent due to the same reason.

TL;DR. The 777 didn't hit 45,000ft. I'm inclined to believe their disbelief of that data as being inaccurate.

err, it is 100% possible, sure the aircraft isn't rated to fly above 43,100ft, but that doesn't mean it isn't able to fly above it, (yes i'm aware there is a finer line between stall and flight the higher you go, but that is also the safe limit, it doesn't take into account the air "thickness" on that day, the thicker the air, the higher it can go)

fyi, all civialian aircraft flying pretty much have that same service ceiling,

so while your point is valid for the rest, you statement that the plane couldn't fly at/above 45000ft is false

aircraft limits are the limit of what the aircraft can do safely, not the limit of it's ability, A DC-8 has a maximum speed of 588 mph, yet it has done 660 mph (or more than the speed of sound) in stable flight, and that was in the 70's

So is the reason planes don't do GPS is because they're pretty much too high for it to work effectively?

For me, the part on the same page which says:

It could.
It's happened in history where a crew has been incapacitated and the plane continues to fly on autopilot until complete fuel exhaustion and then crash killing everyone on board.
Interested read when scrambled F16's see pilots slumped on the controls and watching a plane fly itself and they can do nothing:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helios_Airways_Flight_522

If the malaysian flight did have a catastrophic event then flying on autopilot whilst sorting it out is possible and apparently pretty standard procedure (assuming control surfaces/plane still maintaining a clean configuration)

As for the other conspiracy theory of following another plane out.
Mate of mine (Air Traffic Controller at Brisbane Airport here) and qualified as a commercial pilot had this to say about it when just asked it was actually even possible.

Theoretically, maybe -> yes. Basically formation flying requires a lot of skill and practice. The autopilot would have been flying both aircraft due altitude and it would have been impossible for the following pilot to get SIA's flight plan. They would have needed to watch them.like a hawk for 6hr for small turns and level changes. Plus they can only visually see other aircraft from a short distance and identify from a few miles. Also they can't tell the flight number without verbally asking someone. Possible, but immensely unlikely.


So basically the only way to "find" SIA from on board the malaysian plane (no radar) even if they knew where it would be roughly, the only way to find it would be to visually spot it. And that's pretty unlikely if they were out by a few miles or if the other plane was above/below expected altitude or behind/ahead of schedule. So, highly improbable.

Plane likely had some catastrophe and is a repeat of Flight 522.

Eh? How does a fully fuelled, passenger loaded 777 climb to 45,000? It can't. Airliners struggle to get to 35,000ft after takeoff let alone another 10,000 after that.
Some may be at ~41,000ft towards the end of their run when they have significantly less fuel.


The whole 45,000ft thing was a ping from primary radar which is totally inaccurate for altitudes especially at large distances that it was pinged from.

Sure these jets could hit those altitudes not fully loaded with cargo, passengers and significantly less fuel.
This plane, not a chance it hit 45,000 so soon after takeoff.

Pretty much zero chance it also then dived within one minute to 29,000ft.
More likely it had very little variance in altitudes between those pings

lordHelyi, you might want to look at some more data and reports, there have been military radars that also detected the aircraft at 45000ft

also, a fully loaded plane a cruise engine settings, yes you are right, however you can still run the engines at MTOT for a few mintues, (which is much much more thrust than normal max cruise settings)

and that is for a FULLY loaded plane, which MH370 wasn't, that 7hrs of fuel included the reserve, this is a plane that could fly non-stop perth to london, and still have 2-3hrs of fuel in reserve, while seating 300 people, plus crew, and plus cargo, the plane wasn't full of cargo by all accounts, 3/4 full of pax, and call it a half load of fuel

it is possible the pilot pulled up to that level in an effort to put out something like a tyre fire, but we dont know that as of yet, and might not know for sometime

Military radar is primary radar.
Primary radar doesn't ascertain altitude accurately at long distances.

In this instance I'm fairly sure any radar that picked it up was quite some distance away.

multiple sources saying that the plane went to 45000ft, thus it makes it a possibility, to dismiss it make you look like an internet warrior knows better because he doubts it is possible (even tho he only at best has a basic understanding, and only a very small amount of the information)

also those multiple sources are experts, not people with a theory and a passion or understanding

Seems some more theories are being tossed around:

Near the end of CNN's special primetime report on Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, anchor Don Lemon read a pair of tweets he received from viewers suggesting the plane's disappearance could be the result of a "black hole," Bermuda Triangle or an occurrence akin to the television series "Lost."

Lemon then turned to Mary Schiavo, former inspector general of the US Department of Transportation, and said, "I know it's preposterous, but is it preposterous, do you think, Mary?"

"It is," Schiavo replied. "A small black hole would suck in our entire universe. So we know it's not that. The Bermuda Triangle is often weather, and 'Lost' is a TV show."

"Right," Lemon said.


Well thank goodness they can cross those causes off the list. Bad enough to recover a plane from the bottom of the ocean but who knows how long it would take to recover a plane from a black hole?

what insults? (yes there was a comparison, but I didn't call you an internet warrior)

i've not insulted you, nor was it my intentions, I pointed out that it is possible (do get the plane to that height), multiple experts have stated the plane went to 45000ft, and that you shouldn't dismiss it because you dont think it was able to reach that height,

also as pointed out much earlier that not all the details have been released, it is possible that the height figure has been extracted from one or two primary radar sources at first, then confirmed as each country released it's own radar data (making the figure more reliable)

also, please spell my handle right,

Pop icon Kate Bush has been criticised for a comeback poster of herself being rescued from the sea which was released as the search continues for missing flight MH370.
The 55-year-old singer wears a lifejacket in choppy waters in the image, released yesterday for the long-awaited announcement of her first live gigs for 35 years.
But the the timing of the poster's release led some to claim it was inappropriate - for which the singer apologised today.
'The timing is really unfortunate,' she said. 'There is absolutely no connection with the current tragedy that is heading the news and I apologise from the bottom of my heart if this has in any way upset or at all offended anyone.'

Yeah France said there satellite images look like they have found debris too so hopefully they find the wreckage this week and provide the families a little bit of closure.

1: They could have been unconscious.

2: If suicide run, to minimise the chance that anyone can take back control and land it, even if you are incapacitated.

3: Santa.

Guess they were just in the Wong place at the Wong time.

In other news they've detected several Pings at the bottom of the ocean. The families have been notified and the funeral will be held next Tuesday.
