Also, we all say "fire" but what if it was very toxic fumes?

Sure, most of the time it is the fumes that disable and kill people, not flames. Right too that fumes can come from many sources. Some are not detectable, there is induced sleepiness and the affected people can't react because by the time they are aware of what is going on it is too late.

Regardless of what happened, I think this tragedy will be one of the most investigated in recent times.

(And it does work: 1(A).12(L)12(L) 18(R)9(I)7(G)8(H)20(T), 7(G)15(O)15(O)4(D) 14(N)9(I)7(G)8(H)20(T)

alright goodnight

i is canceled
g is cancelled
h is cancelled
t is cancelled
o is cancelled

this leaves a l r g d n

or 01,12,9,8,0,9

=1129809


first 1 cancel for first (2) 1's = 129809

Malaysia Airlines to 129089 equal Singapore.

And wasn't another theory that MH370 had been shadowing a Singapore Airlines jet to avoid radar detection?

I don't know but 129809 is Singapore.

Plus MH 370 disappeared on 3/7 and they changed the flight number to 319 which is the day the debris was announced to be found!

Okay, not true. I have no idea about the flight number. And it technically disappeared on 3/8, didn't it?

Let's say the flight was enroute, but the pilots forgot to switch the pressurization switch from manual to auto and as the plane continued to climb, decompression occured and the passengers in the main cabin passed out. If the pilots had a greater oxygen supply in the cockpit than the passengers did, would the pilots be able to correct this mistake or is there no way to do that? Also, since the passengers passed out, how much damage is done at that point to the passengers since the plane is continuing to climb and would correcting the pressurization (if possible) do anything to help the passengers or would the damage already be done?

If the pilots (I say if because I do not want to assume the pilots are responsible) realized the damage had been done to the passengers, but were able to correct the pressurization anyways, do you believe they would have freaked out at what they were responsible for doing? If this happened, do you think the pilots would have been in such a deterioted mental state that they decided to alter the course of the plane, turn off the transponders, and let the plane go in a different direction, and end it?

You know, that thought crossed my mind too, like oh crap, what do we do now.
I doubt it but you aren't the only one to think it.

Who gives a fig? Choose other letters to eliminate, and you can come up with another relevant location. As if that proves anything.


I think this means we're officially bored, now. In the absence of any hard news on the case.

If it's true that the plane ended up in the Indian Ocean, it would make sense that the pilots wouldn't want the plane or flight data recorders found

That's why there are TWO pilots! To keep the bases covered. To back each other up. If it were this easy to make this mistake, it would have happened before. And if they'd decided they'd screwed up and needed to end it, they wouldn't have flown all the way toward South Australia to do it.

Actually if they felt they screwed up and needed to end it, it makes sense that they would take the plane as far away as possible - the closer it crashes to the last point of contact, the easier to find (oil slicks, witnesses on land, etc)
