Sorry, but that's both a flawed and overly sweeping statement. I consider myself pro-green, but I'm not anti 4WD. I'm anti dickhead.Originally Posted by VladTepes
Not necessarily. I live in an area with at best, crap 3G reception, and almost zero phone reception and it won't sign me out. Besides, what if the individuals are deceased?

There is a theory that a small leak might have caused a slow decompression which caused everyone to drift off to sleep and the plane just flew on under the autopilot until it crashed somewhere, but it should still have been sending out regular tracking signals, I think.

Autopilot does not let planes disappear or drop out of the sky.

There has even been a report today of the possibility of one of the pilots being suicidal. The flight deck of a Boeing 777 is a two crew flight deck, there is no Flight Engineer. So there are times when there is only one pilot at the controls, for example toilet breaks. However, the lack of any debris is now very worrying and highly unusual.
On an unrelated topic, anybody remember the show "Lost"?
A ringing phone can just mean the phone is ringing the network, it doesn't have to mean its reached the other phone.

You been watching air crash investigation? Happened before, think it was a Greek flight or thereabouts. All onboard went to sleep except one sighted by an airforce jet through the window, that would chill me too he bone.
Yes, and wasn't thre something similar in America a while back?

I read that in an article today also. It is nothing more than speculation but the theory is based on an advisory of a potential cracking point at the satelite antenna mount point. A rupture at this point could knock out the tracking antenna and cause slow decompression of the cabin.
A slow decompression failure happened to a small plane out of Perth several years ago, and the plane flew on autopilot to eventually crash up near the gulf in QLD. If this happened to the MH370 flight, it could have flown for thousands of km before eventually crashing. With no satelite "sqwark", only military "primary" radar could have picked it up?

Subscriberhow time flies!...14 yrs ago.. Payne Stewart (pro golfer) and several of his mates died in a Lear jet in which the pressurisation failed -ultimately the plane ran out of fuel...
I'd have thought that the 777 and newer aircraft would have a sensor to detect this...

nahh pretty much any modern radar would pick up anything down to the size of a cessna, unless it was military and designed not to be seen...
it should have also continued to send out its automated telemetry updates that would have shown it doing a long glide when the fuel ran out (if the depressurisation theory was right)
Some do, in the event of cabin pressure loss the autopilot will initiate the descent to low altitude. I think its only enabled on long over sea hauls when the pilots are realistiacally little more than the passangers with the best view.
