Malaysian Flight MH370

I wouldn't be surprised if you can. On the flight manifest, they listed that one of the passengers was a flight engineer. Whether he had his "laptop/smartphone" in his possession at the time does bring up a red flag.

I don't know 777's. But I do know MD-11's, and on the MD-11 you would have to be in the cockpit at the flight computer to do that. But it's easy to override the flight computer in-flight, and enter alternate courses, etc. from the cockpit.

Think about it - easy way to kill a specific target and there never be evidence. Crash it into the ocean and the salt water eats all the electronics. It would look like commands from the flight deck on the data recorder.

I also wouldnt be concerned over the pilot having a simulator at home.

No more so than being concerned about auto enthusiasts having Forza.

I don't think the black box gets destroyed for at least a few months or years after salt water starts dissolving it.

However, if the plane did indeed crash into the ocean and it was going 900 MPH - 1,000 MPH, it's possible everything disintegrated when it hit the ocean.

It's in the bottom of the ocean somewhere probably failed terrorist attack.

Seems pretty successful to me.

I mean that if you hacked something you could make the data look like it was manually entered in the black box

Very true.

 

[Bender1]

this is all very much theoretical

Commercial jets don't go anywhere near that fast, but yea, there's probably not much left if it did go down in the ocean.

You can't control a plane from the ground though.

That plane is most likely lost somewhere on land, there have been crashes where the planes were never found, only when survivors found a village after surviving for six months did anyone know what happened. If it crashed on the ocean there would be an oil slick.

They'll reach terminal velocity before that point, they're not supersonic.

If it crashed in the Indian Ocean I have my doubts they will find the main wreckage. Some debris might wash up somewhere but that might be it. At least with Air France they knew generally where the plane was and it still took 2 years to find the main wreckage. Even if they find the black boxes the cockpit voice recorder only has 2 hours of tape. I find it asinine that you can defeat all the tracking systems on a $200M plane. I think this incident will spur a change in airplane data tracking and transfer. There's no reason to rely solely on on board systems to track what happened and why when that stuff can be backed up through satellites.

Agreed. Search area in Indian Ocean would be MUCH larger than air france search area.

Rupert Murdoch's comments about the flight proves what an old senile Aussie prick he is
