Lessay they get PERFECT data and audio from the Black Boxes:

Who here thinks we’ll get the straight story about what’s on there, if it’s ANYTHING but a straight up tragic accident...?

If there are noises indicating a fight, with guys screaming Allah Akbar, would we really hear about it...?

I’m not so sure.

it was the best I could find on such short notice....and retocuhing the photo to change it to a violin would have taken a bit of time..

[MediaMole]

Personally, I would suspect some variation this incident.

Pics looked to me like it may have hit the side of the mountain and all the debris slid to the valley. Rocky and no snow. I suspect tomw we’ll have lots more visuals.

[MeshugeMikey]

Its a tad larger than I expected...as I left off the size code....

Hal... now.made by the Ford Motor Company

ABC is a little late to the game. Witnesses to the plane overflight in the neighboring village state the only thing that was abnormal was the elevation of the plane.

Both said it was too low, but otherwise seemed normal. Those interviews were in the Daily Mail.

the debris rained down... not cocentrated. They know..

Airbus usually a great plane—I’ve flown on them many times.

Make mine a Boeing.

I have also questioned whether they would tell us the truth if I t was terrorists.

Airbus SW assumes it is smarter than the pilots and will take action that the pilots cannot override. There have been many crashes from actions based on faulty sensor readings (like air speed indicators). I like Boeing much better!!!!!!

Aliens.

Nerve gas in the cockpit?

Killer bees.

Airbus has had problems with ice in the pitot tube.

Air France was one example

Fits fine on the tablet I’m using at the moment. I love reruns of Gilda Radner jokes. Violins being my favorite. Id also note that flying is not the quality experence it used to be.

[Paladin2]

I draw the line at the 787.

[Uri’el-2012]

Anyone remember that plane in south Florida where the oxygen generators in the cargo hold caught fire?

Smoked everyone including the crew and it augured straight down into the swamp.

That was an Arkincide hit.

[Brooklyn Attitude]

Reports are that the plane flew a gradual and steady descent into the mountain. Sounds like someone was asleep at the wheel and accidentally turned off the autopilot.

According to the news report tonight, it is possible the plane went high, then depressurized knocking out those on board.

The first thing I thought about was the Malaysian flight which disappeared last year, it was suggested the same thing happened on it.
