Confirmation bias?
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, and crashes into the ocean.
- tomelders 13y ago1. Zig Zaging flight path between legitimate waypoints after transponders were turned off, plus some pronounced altitude changes suggest that Autopilot was not engaged. 2. Pilots turned off transponders before their last communication.
- confluence 13y ago1. Waypoints far west outside of primary are conjecture. Can be explained by autopilot shutdown due to onboard emergency. 2. Not proven. ACARS can fail without pilot intervention. That's confirmation bias.
