A lot of planes now have wifi for use while in the air. The survivors would have had texts or messages of some kind if the people had been able to use their devices. it’s just that out of 150 people, no one noticed that they were going down in time to send one of those short messages.
i do find it really odd.
Not all planes have wifi. Either this flight didn’t have it or they have quieted all passengers’ relatives with something that would keep them quiet. I don’t know who is ultimately in charge of this investigation but maybe even just telling the relatives that their silence could save other lives. During this short time of silence they may be able to do some kind of traces and shut down anything if this was not a lone wolf.
We don’t even know if this was perhaps a many member ATTACK including this pilot. That maybe he stacked the passengers with fellows to keep the innocent passengers from doing any kind of Let’s Roll.
This line belonged to Lufthansa, but it was a budget airline and probably did not have wifi. However, even if it did, the person in the cockpit can shut down all systems in the cabin, and it sounds (judging by the lack of ground contact) as if the co-pilot may have done just that.
They were too far away from cell towers for a normal phone call to be picked up and transmitted, but I wonder if there might be some outgoing texts or photos stored on passenger phones...if any phones can be found.
Illegal cell phone blockers can be ordered from the Internet. Not sure how they work, but could one have been involved?
