MH370: New report suggests plane dived rapidly, rejects 'controlled descent' theory
A new report by Australian investigators into the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 suggests the aircraft's flaps were not extended when it crashed, effectively ruling out the possibility of a controlled descent into the Indian Ocean. An analysis of data associated with the plane's final communications to and from the satellite was also "consistent with the aircraft being in a high and increasing rate of descent at that time", the Australian Transport Safety… (www.msn.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
someday...somewhere... they'll find it.. until then? speculation...
It is not unreasonable to conclude from the lack of shear damage on the recovered flap panel that the flaps were never deployed prior to impacting the water. It also seems unlikely that the crew who had been flying the plane towards the middle of nowhere for hours (either intentionally or due to incapacitation) would put the aircraft in a landing configuration at the last minute.
Doubtful, File will probably end up stored in same filing cabinet as Amelia Earhart...sadly.
I agree as its just more worthless news until there is a firm conclusion which will only be reached by flight recorders. Probably never as its down all killed in the crash, rest in peace is my wish at this time.
Trouble is, this crash may never be completely 'solved' to everyone's satisfaction. If, say, the crew oxygen bottle exploded and caused the data failures and crew incapacitation, all we're going to hear on the CVR is a period of silence before increasing windscreen noise and end of recording. This scenario might not be enough for some.
Dear friend themadDutchman , IMHO the investigations are not conducted for the "satisfaction" of people.
Investigation is an objective activity while satisfaction is highly subjective.
Mostly the main objective is future oriented.
Past and present are just corollaries.

I agree, hence my putting solved in quotes. My comment was meant not as a lament but as an observation. Regardless the outcome in this investigation, I feel that we'll probably never fully know what happened to MH370. Our sensationalist hungry media and public will no doubt have a difficult time with this.
Huh???
I do agree it is a very high percentage some people will never be satisfied. Even a FDR covering cockpit switching/settings, compression, door activation, flight parameters etc will not say who. Yes a two hour loop unless under very extreme luck of someone seeing things to the end making identifiable voices, will just confirm cockpit/aircraft noises.
Either way the blood money books and conjecture have tainted Zaharie as the culprit regardless of who. As for oxy or mechanical unlikely as associated avionics critical to flight would be damaged and since the aircraft was navigated through way-points, turns and altitude changes someone was in control.
