Thank goodness Humor out'covers' both of them- at least on TUG!

I don't want to give this thread more attention that it has already had over the years, but riddle me this: After all this time, is it realistic to expect the wreckage will be intact? Jets are pretty fragile things, compared with ships. Presuming it suffered some structural damage on impact, isn't it likely things have been spread out by now, and a single site doesn't really exist?

yeah, likely just the engines and parts of the fuselage remaining.
dammit ... I added to this thread

If the pilot contacted the Malaysian government that he was holding a plane of passengers hostage, waited 20 minutes in a holding pattern, then, when denied, flew back over the country, someone would have taken some sort of action. While not releasing the radar data is not exactly open and above board, I do not see it as any sort of proof or indication they are hiding this hostage taking. It is possible that the pilot, in conjunction with someone else not on the plane or obviously connected to the flight, contacted the government to state a terrible thing would happen if the person concerned was not released, but when denied would have made their claim clear, after the plane disappeared. For those conspiracy theorists, I doubt the government was agile enough to track down the caller and dismantle all evidence of the plot in such a short time. The mechanics of such a complicated operation don't add up.

Still, the "trip wire" analysis seems valuable and may be correct.

I don't think the mystery will be closed until they find the airplane

I agree. When there is any real news, the press will tell us.

At least they finally got cloture on the other big Malaysian airlines crash. Three former Russian intelligence operatives were just convicted by a Dutch court for that shootdown.

The gist is that the landing gear was extended upon impact. A related question, not addressed at all in the article and likely unknowable, is at what point during flight would the landing gear have been extended. Suppose the landing gear had been extended for much of the flight. Wouldn't that increase the fuel consumption - meaning the plane would have flown as far before crashing as has been assumed when selecting search areas?

If the Gear was extended above the limit speed for extension or retraction, the Gear doors would have likely departed the aircraft. They are not designed to withstand the cruise speeds while open. The Gear themselves are pretty beefy but who knows what a 500+ MPH breeze would do to the linkages, etc.
