If it was not a terrorism incident, what possibly could have happened to the aircraft, crew and passengers? Sudden decompression? Poisonous gas in the cabin? It looks like the incident a few years back when that pro-golfer’s jet flew for hours before crashing in the Dakotas(?) because the crew and passengers were all unconscious or dead from sudden decompression..........
Payne Stewart..I remember that, sad.
His plane flew 1400 miles on autopilot before ran out of fuel & crashed.
Military planes went up to try & help..they reported everyone on plane already dead.
yesterday there was a thread on FR with just this idea...can’t find it but evidently in February there was a warning sent out by the FAA about cracks and rust developing in 777’s which could lead to slow, slow decompression of the cabin which would be tough to notice even by pilots and crew...
it reference the Payne Stewart incident...tried to research here but could not find...
Not quite. Sudden decompression is quite unlikely, it simply never pressurized to start with.
An oil rig worker said he saw a plane on fire.
I wonder if the plane was hijacked and when an attempt was made to overpower the hijacker a bomb was touched off, not enough to blow up the plane but enough to start a fire killing everyone on the plane but the plane kept flying.
...pro-golfer’s jet flew for hours before crashing ....

But nobody had shut off the transponder on that plane.
Payne Stewart.
Great guy.
