Mainly marking my spot... so infuriating. Cannot imagine what those families have been through -- I am so sorry for their horrendous loss !
And then cruel hoaxes perpetrated by complete losers. :gaah:

:moo:

I have doubts that this wreckage is from MH370.
I mean, there aren't even photos to prove or disprove the relative's story...

IMO, the wreckage is from another plane. Maybe AirAsia?

I thought so too once I located the island on a map but it is being claimed that this plane crashed into the Jungle on a small island, that is where these "witnesses" claim they found it and climbed inside the fuselage. But authorities has searched and have stated No plane or wreckage has been located at the site being claimed or elsewhere on this small island.

There are some outlets that have posted (AHEM) articles with information given by the witnesses..I didn't post a link or excerpts..My BS meter was at max

Could batteries have caused MH370's tragedy?

On March 7 batteries for mobile phones were assembled by combining two of the small single cells for each phone. On March 8 the assembled batteries were trucked to Kuala Lumpur and loaded along with the rest of the cargo of the 777.

ETA When I posted this link, I assumed my quote was from the bottom of the article because of the ads etc and I was even worried about keeping it at 10%.
Keep scrolling down and they lay everything out on what is suspected to have happened. The article doesn't end until you see the share tweet icons.

If batteries had exploded, the plane would have went down as the explosion happened.
It would essentially be like a bomb.

Unless the batteries started smoking and exploded at the tail end of the plane's journey (wherever that may be).
But had there been an explosion, debris would have been spotted right away.

IMO

The batteries wouldn't have exploded, they would've caught fire and the fumes would've incapacitated the crew and passengers.

Lithium batteries explode when exposed to certain altitudes.
This is why airlines don't like transporting large amounts of lithium batteries in the cargo holds of passenger jets.

I guess it would depend on how many batteries there were in the cargo, but IIRC, MH370 was carrying a dangerous amount.

IMO.

"Two of the three pallets of batteries were situated in the forward cargo bay, immediately behind the aircraft's critical electronics equipment, or Main Equipment Centre (MEC), adding further weight to the theory.

Aviation experts say that a fire originating close to the MEC would make it virtually impossible for the plane's internal fire equpiment to suppress a blaze as it would change the flow of air.

The expert, who has a detailed knowledge of the Boeing 777 jetliner, said it was plausible that such a fire would break through the hold's safety liner.

Added to that is a second hazard from transporting lithium batteries by air - the potential for noxious fumes."

In this case it's speculated that perhaps the pilot or co-pilot managed to turn the plane around but became incapacitated and then autopilot kept them in the air until they ran out of fuel.

Oh, they maybe found it again, on the bottom of the sea. Allegedly.

Here is another article which also includes a video describing and pointing out the features of the deep water tow search system.

ETA This is article goes below the ads too.

But Williamson and Associates Manager of Special Projects Rob McCallum, said their experts in sonar analysis jumped out of their chairs when the new images were published by the ATSB.

They still feel they are searching in the right area, but if the scenario is right, how could it have stayed in the air so far?

Both engines of the Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 likely flamed out, suggesting that the jet was not intentionally ditched, Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) said in a new report Thursday.

I wonder if by "flamed out" they mean "died." So when the plane eventually ran out of fuel, the engines flamed out/died.
Flamed out could also mean "caught on fire." But in the context of that sentence, I think the engines died when fuel ran out.

You are probably right. I didn't even know that meaning.
I must have misread it the first time around, thinking that they determined the pilots did not purposely try to ditch it.

What? This is almost unbelievable.

Malaysian aviation authorities placed an ad in a newspaper there on Monday asking for the "untraceable owner" of three 747-200F aircraft – which have been left at the airport – to come forward and reveal his or her identity.

"If you fail to collect the aircraft within 14 days of the date of this notice, we reserve the right to sell or otherwise dispose of the aircraft" said the ad, which ran in The Star.

I wonder if the owner will have to identify something first, like "All the seats are red, the tray tables are black."
