Re: The Atlantic Tackles MH370 Final Conclusions

The oxygen cylinder theory isn’t totally crazy to me; certainly more believable than the “captain amok” theory. The sudden overpressure from a ruptured COPV could cause an upward failure of the cockpit floor, damaging or severing the wire harnesses that travel under the floor from the avionics bay t...

The Spiegel interview of Larry Vance is interesting, but I think he's stepped past the usual cautions of an investigator and straight into speculation. He is convinced that the control surfaces that were recovered were necessarily attached to the aircraft when it hit the water, indicating a ditching...

I don't for a second buy the conspiracy theory that the Inmarsat data was spoofed or planted, for two reasons: 1) From a technical standpoint, the post-processing of the satellite data is sufficiently subtle, obscure and sophisticated that it strains belief that it could have been devised ahead of t...

Wow this thread is really taking off. I just wanted to point out something about the debris field and what it implies about how the aircraft hit the water (dive vs. ditching).

RE: MH 370 Had Electrical Failure

I have a theory (yeah, yeah, get in line...) that a crew oxygen bottle failed. The two bottles were topped off just before the accident flight.
