True about pilots, but all indications so far are that the pilots were dead,or unconscious. No one was in control of the aircraft.
The possibility of ditching intact are infinitesimal.
Oh no -- that is most definitely not true.
Even the Malaysians admit that the maneuvers the plane took after it was diverted indicated deliberate action by a pilot who knew what he was doing.
It made precise turns to avoid Indonesian radar and hit the aircraft waypoints that only a professional pilot would be familiar with.
And it could not have been on auto-pilot and made those kind of maneuvers.
And it had atleast 300 miles of fuel left onboard when it was set down according to aviation analysts who drew up the graph of its flight path. So it didn't just drop out of the sky. It went down there by deliberate action.
