Remember, we are dealing with death-worshipping muzzies here, first. Second, I think they WOULD get rid of the bodies for weight/range but that would be a monumental undertaking in strength and manpower....almost inconceivable unless there were many hijacker/terrorists. I've done fireman carry drills in full-battle rattle. I'd be pooped after carrying 10 bodies and possibly muscle fatigue/failure.
This is going to be the BIG mystery of this century if never found.
I guess I'll sum up what a former CIA guy said on the news this morning, "If it is terrorism, it ain't the same type of terrorists ive been hunting and killing since the mid-1990s....they aren't that technically proficient, smart, or lucky".
DC —
IT’s easy to control cabin temperature from up front. The flight deck stays comfy while the passengers are quite, um, refrigerated.
Temperature lapse rate is roughly 3 degrees per thousand feet.
IF you are cruising at say 25,000, it’s generally below freezing outside the aircraft. Easy to keep the dearly departed chilled in the back.
