Malaysia Airlines Plane "Loses Contact"
Discussion
For all pilots have the check list drummed in to them, in an emergency they do what feels right. Heathrow 777 moving the flaps to reduce drag as the cost of increased speed and the Hudson crash forced water landing activating the APU bing 2 examples.
We will never know what the pilot was thinking unless we find the voice recorder and find a running commentary. I doubt that will happen.

I feel that now. Genuinely one of the 21st century’s big mysteries. I don’t like the suicide theory personally as we’re tarring someone without any real proof and is also dead and can’t defend himself.
Ah, but is he dead? IIRC, someone on here posited (seriously) that the plane may have potentially escaped Earth's atmosphere. If that's the case, they could all be alive & well on Mars.
10 years today and still no overall sign of the plane.
Still incredible how a plane can vanish in this day and age with virtually no trace, bar a few confirmed aircraft parts washing up. The lives that have been devastated, the conspiracy theories and the mystery itself of the flght.
We know what happened; it's the how and why that still fascinates in different ways.

Very sad.

Amazing after ten years all we know is bits have been recovered and most recent parts found the Malaysian government did not want to investigate any more items so cover up most likely explanation Still incredible how a plane can vanish in this day and age with virtually no trace, bar a few confirmed aircraft parts washing up.

I see there are a couple of chancers still claiming to know where it is. There is Richard Godfrey with his WSPR.
Then the other day, I saw a piece by 60 minutes Australia and there was a fisherman claiming he haul up the wing, not he did not say piece of the wing, he said 'the wing' in his fishing nets. Amazing considering the whole wing would be at least twice the size of the boat his was on and amazingly he did not take any pictures of it...
I saw another interesting piece on it, all the search areas work on the assumption it was an uncontrolled crash, and the belief is Malaysian government do not want to authorise of search of the area where it could be if it was a controlled ditching, because that opens up the possibility of pilot suicide and as the Government part own the airline they would be partially responsible for any costs after the airline are found to be liable!

What’s his WSPR??
WSPR = Weak Signals Propogation ReporterIt is analysis of the distortion of amateur radio signals, which shows the location of aircraft when they cross them.
WSPR and MH370

The bbc program was interesting and explained some of it. Basically radio waves are sent out and when the plane flies through the radio wave it will cause disruption which can be measured. The theory sounded plausible. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/WSPR_(amateur_radi...

Yes. Thought it was very good.
So did I. Best documentary I have seen for a while, Some supposition, unavoidable as presenting a "scenario", but if the facts they mention are true it is hard to see any other conclusion from them.

That's very clever and seems to justify a further search in the now much smaller target area. It is analysis of the distortion of amateur radio signals, which shows the location of aircraft when they cross them.

Other the large heavy objects of the two engines, and the landing gear assemblies, there will be nothing to find, the rest of the aircraft disintegrated on impact at high speed into the sea......hence just the small fragments that have turned up over the years.
