this is actually a not that bad theory. The question is: have they already scanned that area?

- tsaoutourpants 13y agoAccording to the author, the plane may have continued on auto-pilot after the crew had been killed by smoke inhalation. It's a large area to search.
- sschueller 13y agoThis could also explain the climb to 45,000 feet if the plane was on auto pilot and the fire was messing with the instruments.
- TheAnimus 13y agoNot likely. The Pitot static systems (which are redundant) on a 777 are very far aware from the transponders. So this fire that magically spread all the way across that, somehow allowed auto pilot to have enough elevator control, change the engine power, but not realise it was hitting the ceiling, then was able to calmly decent from an above service ceiling height? Incredibly unlikely set of events.
- confluence 13y agoThose were primary radar readings which aren't accurate at range.
