This is really interesting and I appreciate knowing the technique that went into coming up with this conclusion, but I find it kind of weird to see the article mention that the plane crashed and killed all passengers so factually. People need closure on this, but it seems kind of cold to speak this way about the fate of the passengers considering we have no physical proof.
- wallflower 13y agoIt's kind of like when having a funeral without a body. Which is done in some extraordinary situations. Statistically speaking, assuming the plane's final destination was somewhere in the Southern Indian Ocean, there are no more survivors. If the plane had somehow landed in the Southern Indian Ocean (roiling seas, 20 to 40 foot waves [1], pitch black - remember moonless night) and there were survivors, there would be no more survivors two weeks later (hypothermia due to wind chill, lack of fresh water). Also, the emergency locators in the life rafts would have most likely sent out the distress signals upon contact with water. The mystery of MH370 is that in most all previous cases of onboard fires, there was some successful attempt to make a form of emergency radio contact. Even when the ceiling was literally melting [2]. There was none with MH370.
