Lots of snow Porsche away

I did not realise they had said it was on military radar, that usually means a primary painted target and not a lot of room for error.
They are equipped with quick-don masks that are very fast to put on, if you identify hypoxia is looming. Lots of crashes related to hypoxia happen from a slow decompression or a failure to pressurize in the first place, and the onset is so slow that it can be missed by the crew. Payne Stuart's incident is an example of that, but they lost communication shortly after reaching altitude and did not go down for a considerable length of time, so not so similar to this event.

Just heard on the news that a large amount of debris was found. Anyone hear that also?

Going back to the stolen / bogus passports. With all the technology, x-databases, spying, you'd think the fakes would be an easy catch. The reports are scary numbers.
Even in the US, makes you wonder how many dufus TSA workers and management leave the rest of us at risk. It all comes down to human error. Lack of doing their job, checking each and everyone. Would take just a few seconds for them to enter a name, number, all while getting your crotch felt. How basic of a task neglected by the airline, law enforcement, border control workers.... amazing. Who are these idiots running these airports? edit: Terrorist must know of the same reports and the good probability of boarding. Piece of cake and a disguise.

I ran a thread a few weeks ago about spending several hours in the B-777 simulator at Delta (complements of my daughter who works for them). If they have time, they will allow family and friends to have at it at the controls. This was indeed a bucket list item check off for me. I am trying to get the MD-88 next!
In case your curious here are several photos of the B-777LR cockpit.

Bayesian theory also helped find a missing H Bomb IIRC.

Even if the winglet had fallen off in flight, it would have a minor impact on airplane performance.

Winglets just affect span wise flow for better fuel economy due to reduced vortex generation and resultant induced drag. Wouldn't cause a significant loss of stability or control as has been said.

Terrible tragedy. Seems the search is simply not in the right location: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/12/world/asia/malaysia-jet.html?hp
No calls or texts from any passengers to loved ones No distress calls from pilots (When all hell breaks loose, comms is last in priority) No debris Had to have happened fast. Debris field will probably be found far from where the search currently is.

"No one has a clue".
Thats the latest on this incident. If it landed in some remote location the world would have heard something by now. The cell phones "ringing" is one hell of a strange anomaly. If its on the bottom of the ocean based on course correction they will have to re-organize the search pattern. The "pinger" is wasting away power and now time.
