I could figure it out
Those Amphenol connectors (green, round) are poorly terminated. Some don't even have backshells or strain relief. This is not what you do in a system that experiences vibration.
There you go, a lot neater than the sloppily labeled fuse box in my house and somehow I manage to turn things off.
So, you can find that in a matter of minutes. Meanwhile we are “crowd sourcing” people to search satellite imagery in the Himalayas. Are they crowd sourcing people to search at the last radar location? Nope.
What if in addition to the things that were turned off the interior lights and navigation lights were also turned off. Let’s say that was confirmed by a fighter jet and when an attempt was made to make visual contact the airliner took some evasive action?
Sooner or later some government or group of governments was going to be faced with the decision to down a rogue airplane. The socioeconomic aftermath is incalculable. A coverup in in everyone’s interest and possibly this is why 10 countries are searching for a plane nobody wants to find.
It’s also a distinct possibility that governments that colluded in the decision are now flat denying any involvement (China & Vietnam).
At the last known radar contact the water depth is about 170 feet at most. Dangerous but doable even for a recreational diver. Remember, there’s no crowds sourcing of images there. Nine days to recover enough debris to befuddle any future investigate. This all serves the greater good.
