My post on another thread three days ago:
My non-conspiracy theory is that of a similar fate to golfer Payne Stewart’s private jet crash in 1999. They lost cabin pressure and all passed out, but the plane flew for 1500 more miles before crashing in North Dakota.
It was not known why they lost pressure, but it was surmised it was so fast they did not have time to put on 02 masks.
So maybe a small meteor or some space object hit the plane and it was suddenly depressurized but kept flying itself, out of radar range, somewhere in the Pacific, until crashing.
So why did the transponder stop sending data? If on automatic, why not just follow the vector to the end of the time the engines stopped sending?
Hmm, interesting. Plausible.
Really unlikely. Unlike Stewarts plane, multiple air crew, highly trained in scenarios like sudden decompression, and with plenty of time of useful counciousness unless they were flying at FL above 40k.
Plane also maneuvered with a heading and altitude change, not just continued on autopilot. Something stinks.
Who turned off the transponder in your theory?
Seems I remember correctly it was a slow leak and the passengers on Payne Stewart’s plane all went to sleep gradually.
transponders off. how did that happen?
One flaw in your theory is who turned off the transponders?
Alternately. . . a slow leak, and the passengers and crew would have just passed out at one point. Last I checked, the automatic deploy of oxygen masks is triggered by a SUDDEN pressure drop. . .
