Dont get me wrong, Russia is responsible, but to act like we have no game in this conflict is half hearted.

Our media tries to castrate Russia for "state sponsored terror" while the US gives weapons to terrorists in Syria and Libya, its hard not to laugh at the propaganda.

If the CIA or the U.S. have any blame, it's that we didn't do enough to stop Putin's aggression. We do pretty much "have no game" in this particular conflict. I think we sent some MRE's to the Ukrainian troops a few months ago.

(Sorry I'm on vacation) wtf happened now?

Solid question.

When I need aviation news, broncosforums.com is the first place I click.

Where is the colorblind Air Force guy I want to blow.

Have the aliens returned and taken another jet?

So......never fly in Asia. Check.

Dang. They lost the plane in the wee hours of the morning and had practically all day to find it (granted, short days this time of year). I thought it had already been spotted by Noon Jakarta time. Guess there's almost no hope for any survivors here either.

What is going on with aviation in that region? Makes no sense. This plane should've been over one of the busibusiest shipping lanes in the world according to the flight maps, how can it not be found? If it wasn't where it should've been how did they not have that on radar?

Makes no damn sense.

This has to be some sort of record for disappearing planes - an "Asian" triangle??

What Really Happened to Malaysia’s Missing Airplane

It's a crazy tale, no doubt. I hope they find the remains and recover what they can though the voice recorder probably won't show much, it records back over itself every two hours so the turn, climb, etc. Will all be overwritten. Maybe the pilot was giving his last will and testament prior to the stall and subsequent crash but maybe all that's there are warning buzzers and sirens.

Thankfully, we know that with the rapid ascent and depressurization that those on board went quickly and painlessly.

Kind of crazy in this day and age that they only have 2 hours in the voice recorder (I think it's a lot longer for data in the flight data recorder). I guess it might be due to the fact that for the vast, vast majority of cases, it's only the last few minutes that matter.

If he climbed to 40k and depressurized as claimed they were all passed out extremely quickly and died shortly thereafter. Even if they got their oxygen masks on they're not making it long and at 40k feet would be out nearly the instant the 15 mins of o2 is gone.

I deleted my post because this thread is about a different plane

The Payne Stewart crash comes to mind.

Are you SURE Abe? Maybe it's the same plane and that's the REAL mystery.
