Where is it?
The news tonight said the police were searching the homes of the pilots. Well, they must live in pretty big mansions :zoinks:
Seriously where the hell is it?

One can usually trust me to have stuff :M

Has anyone seen a Lockheed Model 10 Electra? :orly:

It's in the backyard under a tarp. ;)
Seriously...I keep thinking one of the pilots went "postal". They may not find it for a long time. Feel bad for the people waiting to hear about their family. :(

Parts is on to something here, I think. :P

United States Navy “captured and then diverted” a Malaysia Airlines civilian aircraft from its intended flight-path to their vast and highly-secretive Indian Ocean base located on the Diego Garcia atoll.

This is a true story. Many years ago whilst share housing as a student our itemised phone bill came back with a 5 minute call to Diego Garcia at 3 am. This was about a fortnight after 9/11. All these years later my reaction is still a huge wtf.
-
Did aliens capture the 777 when it accidentally witnessed a mothership refuelling operation? Does the triple 7 number signify a secret signal to the aliens? Are we indeed the descendants of these aliens? Is Boeing aware of these relations, and are they in fact using aircraft names to communicate with this alien race?

Are you sure it wasn't a person named Diego Garcia?

If not, that is one freaky occurrence.

With all the advanced methods available to us these days, HOW do we lose an airplane (or a fucking giant jetliner) without trying to?
:dunno:

There is the possibility that the US, China, Russia or some other country does know where it is but don't want to say because they don't want to show the world the capabilities of their military sensors
-
It's actually not that difficult, apparently, which has been explained a couple of times in the media. If you turn off the transponders and stay within designated flight corridors, there's a good chance that while you'll most likely be spotted by ground control, you won't necessarily be identified. There's a lot of traffic and the Indian Ocean is a pretty big place. Some of those flight corridors lead to air spaces over land that aren't easily monitored.
There are satellites, of course, and I'm betting that there is a record of the plane somewhere, but the key is that it is not easily identifiable unless you know exactly what to look for and where.
The trick, apparently, is to stay within the flight corridors. Straying outside them would alert all kinds of warning systems.
I came across this visualisation (http://nats.aero/blog/2014/03/europe-24-air-traffic-data-visualisation/) the other day (the video is about halfway down the page). While it shows the air traffic over Europe, it's still rather telling.
-
Cool video.
Now I can see where the plane-routes come from, that merge over my head into one. There is not a moment that there is not a few planes in sight, on a bright day, and they do all follow the same tracks indeed. :plus:
-
I think it's simply awesome.
-
Would love to see a closer up visualisation for the area I live. And that for different weather conditions too. Tracks "close" to airports are quite weather depending.
-
There's not a lot of variation over Heathrow, I think, unless the conditions are really bad. The sky is crowded and if you are in a holding pattern, it is what it is. I remember circling the airport for twenty minutes in rough conditions, last year. I could spot several other planes during those twenty minutes, not far off.
Incidentally, I went through Heathrow earlier this year, just around the time the storm hit Britain. I missed the worst of it, luckily, but landing was something of an adventure. The ride was bumpy and the approach almost sideways until the very last moment.
-
Schiphol has a tangentional system of strips used. And weather has an influence on that. I can notice it here.
And when I still had a friend in Amsterdam, the difference was very noticeable. Difference between being able to sleep in after a late night, or being woken by very low flying planes around 7 am.
-
I was stuck at Schiphol because of dense fog, some years ago. I guess you're right.

So, stuck, and nothing to see outside the window, that sucks.

It's a nice airport, though.
-
Ok, it is looking like the plane has been found. Or rather 'fragments' of it. Sad news.
While the hijacking theories were circulating it gave a tiny sliver of hope for the families that their loved ones might be alive. They have had thirteen days in limbo and I can't imagine how awful that must be.
I noticed one positive out of all this (apart from knowing this will lead to a new episode of 'Aircraft investigation' which makes damn good telly) Malaysia, USA, Australia, China, Indonesia, Japan, New Zealand, Korea, France, India, Pakistan have all been working together to search for this plane. I don't ever recall an event in my lifetime which warranted such a vast number of nations to come together like this. Quite impressive.
-
Hopefully they HAVE found something...I can't even imagine what these poor families have been going through with all these crazy ass reports they've released.
I have my doubts though...spent 2 nights surfing through over 4,000 images on Tomnod...flagged a lot of stuff that looked similar to the satellite photo they're showing on CNN as I'm sure others did...there's a lot of crap floating around in the ocean.
-
Doesn't look like it yet. :-\
-
The plane was carrying 440 lbs of lithium ion batteries.
Which they are assuring "posed no problem".
Why are they even shipping shit like this on a passenger plane?
Ever short circuit one of those suckers? Amazing how fast they can catch fire.
Combined with all that jet fuel. Seriously, WTF...there aren't enough cargo planes for crap like this? :GA:
-
One lithium laptop battery is enough to cause some problems it you short it out I can imagine what 440 pounds of them would do. I'm not sure if they could ship something like that here in the US or the EU
-
Seriously, WTF...there aren't enough cargo planes for crap like this? :GA:
Because it's OK if cargo planes burn and crash. :zoinks:
-

Yes. :zoinks:
No, it's not...2 pilots already lost their lives in 2010 carrying a cargo of lithium ion batteries that caught fire.
But at least, like the guy driving the propane truck you know the risks and you're choosing to get paid to take them, the truck is probably equipped with better fire suppression, and you have some training to make sure the load is secured safely...your not carrying a load of passengers strapped to the top of the propane tank without them also knowing the risk or signing a waiver.
Meaning you don't take 200+ unsuspecting people along for the ride. :zombiefuck:

I'm wondering if anyone has looked at Rolls Royces' data on the engines. RR keeps constant tabs on all their (the engines are only leased to the airlines) engines, and often know of any problems before the pilots do.

It's in the plane.
But if we just look for the black box we don't need to keep looking for everything else, because the black box will tell us where the plane is, right?
-
Beacon on the black box will only transmit for a limited time before the battery dies, and then you have to be fairly close to it's location if I understand it right.

The internet says 30 days up to a depth of 20000 feet; didn't see anything which states how far the beacon travels.

Always understood the purpose of the box to be of more importance after the fact as a data recorder of events prior to crash.

*nod* I was trying for sarcasm (see odeon's comment above), then I heard on the news they thought they might be finding it via black box because the thing sends signals out (somehow I hadn't known that), and realized it actually wasn't an idiotic notion after all.

Yes and that is what I was trying to suggest. Hang on....how was it an idiot notion in the first place?

Also wasn't aware the box emitted a signal until looking it up, though read the signal only transmits two miles, so probably not very helpful.
-
And the box is most likely dead now. No more signals.
