Slow burn fire randomly taking out communications systems and electronics undetected over a long period of time. Pilots freak out and head West for the coast, program way points on autopilot. Fire then cracks the hull, leading to a slow depressurization, incapacitating crew. Plane heads into the Indian ocean with all onboard unconscious or dead, until it runs out of fuel.
- TheAnimus 13y agothis fire just happened to cut out all four radio circuits, both transponders (physically separate systems) before he could squark about it, or contact anyone on the radio? I really doubt that. If I thought that was possible, I wouldn't fly the little sheds I do for fun.
- hga 13y agoThe thing that bothers me is that the transponder(s) were turned off/failed right at the boundary between Malaysian and Vietnamese air traffic control. Could be a coincidence, but it's also a good location for those of bad intent.
