I agree. 777s just don’t disappear. There had to be some indication of what was happening. If they lost all power the plane would have gone down on its route. The fact that it was diverted means something was happening and the pilots would have reported it...unless someone was holding a gun to their head!
Ate they were involved in it
WSJ, UK Daily Mail, etc. now saying the plane sent engine data to Boeing and Rolls Royce which indicate they may have operated a further four hours after it vanished from radar. So even if the plane’s transponders were turned off still the plane called home?
Yes they have not found one shred of that plane. If it went down in the ocean there would be debris and bodies floating.
The black box has a transponder and its pretty indestructable.
Somebody correct me if I’m wrong but if the tower loses voice communication that does not mean the plane just goes off radar. They would still be tracking it on radar unless it finally got down to the 500 ft level or whatever.
Supposedely the Rolls Royce engines were still sending out info every half hour for 4 more hours.
The whole thing is just bizarre.
