Would one pull the fuse if there was snake coming out of he wire bundles?
Ahh. The "Snakes on a Plane" theory? That's a new one.
The theories get wilder with each passing post lol

Thumbs plus self correct = humor
“AND officials are now saying that the first flight correction was programmed into the computer.”
Could he have stored several “hot buttons” with alternate landing sites as a precaution?
Discussion of this article was part of Kelly’s show on fox tonight
Problem with the theory: It appears the turn towards the west had been programmed in ahead of time...before the last voice communication where he said everything was OK.
So it was a premeditated deviation off the flight plan...and voice comm was made AFTER that.
If the above facts are accurate (and they are as of this morning)...then the theory of a fire and then a turn to the west....and the crew being overcome is blown.
Yeah, it’s still a confused mess. If the report is true that he had made the turn west before the last voice transmission, my experience with air traffic control is that they would have been all over him asking what he was doing, not handing him off to Vietnamese ATC.
This is an informational mess.
Looks like Occam’s Razor wins again. Flight down in the Indian Ocean.
If 35,000 feet doesn’t do it neither will 40,000. That doesn’t wash.
What better explains it is that the pilot was curious to see if he could hand fly the airplane at 40,000 because it isn’t supposed to be doable. hence his flight simulator. He was curious and lost the bet.
“Looks like Occam’s Razor wins again. Flight down in the Indian Ocean.”
How is that the most likely scenario? I see it as odd, not Occam.
