Missing Plane

[Guest ttfn]

You can turn off the transponder in case it interferes with other systems on the aircraft. It's not an easy thing to turn off though.

As I understand it, the transponder is incredibly easy to turn off (i.e. just a toggle). It's useful in case there's a fire to be able to turn these things off. 

 

It's the ACARS which is the difficult thing to turn off. It must be stressed that my understanding of this is like most people's - I'm getting it second hand.

Has anyone considered it might be Paul Daniels doing one of his crazy tricks ?

He's not been on TV for a while , this is the sort of mind boggling stunt that could well thrust him and the delightful Debbie back into the limelight

We've had a pin the location of where it's found competition in the pub.

Where did you go for?

Where did you go for?

You had to do it blindfolded but I got just off the east coast of India which looks a half decent shout.

Knowing my luck I'd have pinned it right in the centre of Leicester

We should have this plane found in no time now, Courtney Love is on the case....

Someone managed to get Magaluf.

A good read that.

I liked the shadow one, sounds plausible.

No alien abduction?

There will always be different explanations until the  official one is made known and then debunked. I'll wait until that happens.

A theory by a former pilot. Apologies if it has been posted before.

I saw that on someone's FB. Makes a lot of sense.

Am I the only 1 who thinks there was a problem with the plane it changed direction to fly to another runway and crashed into the sea rather than all these terrorist/rogue pilot/worm hole/aliens/conspiracy theories? 

[Webbo]

Surely if it had crashed then we'd have found some wreckage by now?

Not if you don't know where it crashed. The ocean is absolutely flipping massive, and it's not easy to spot pieces of anything in the water.

[Deucalion]

Maybe it ditched and then sank in one piece, hence no wreckage?

Can't imagine there being no wreckage remnants at all. 

[Stadt]

Maybe it just literally disappeared, like it teleported?

[FoxesAreBlue]

Dharma Initiative did it.

This theory has been pulled apart and dismissed.

If it landed on North Sentinel island we will never find it.

Pay attention 007.

It's already been revealed that after studying radar and satellite info they now know that ten minutes after the responder was cut off and the plane changed direction, the co-pilot communicated by radio and said goodnight and mentioned nothing of any problems.
