crashed. the possibility would be it could be part of a wing because it would be floating because there is no fuel. is that a possibility? it could be. the difficulty is trying to guess just how they separated from the rest of the airplane. there is a chance when the fuel ran out, the airplane was down to the surface of the ocean. there was a chance with a little bit of power left, the airplane tried to trim itself nose up as they dropped off until it got to a slow speed and became very difficult to control. tried to trim itself. the auto pilot left on it potentially. as the airplane slows down, if it s in a hold mode or something similar, it would tend to take the stabilizer trim which is what controls the pitch of the airplane under the auto pilot and try to run that nose
up to keep the airplane level until it runs out of authority to do that. plus when the imagines quit, they didn t quit symmetrically. before the other. right. there variations and fuel quantities in the tanks. ran dry if that s what happened before the other. now the airplane is a symmetrical and losing power. it may keep it going straight which controlled the airplane in there. i have more questions for you and the viewers have a lot of questions. stick around. thank you so much for writing that piece on cnn.com. keep your questions coming. hash tag it, 370 qs and we will
incapacitated, turned to the left and looked for a runway, the problem is that they flew past it and then proceeded to engage in a series of very precise maneuvers heading over these waypoints in the sky and followed the zigzag pattern that incapacitated pilot could not have done. the other problem is that if they had just become incapacitated and headed towards lan could you wee and headed into the horizon until their fuel ran out, they would have wound up near the horn of africa or something. they would not have ended up in the south indian ocean. so on two counts at least this theory doesn t hold water. here s another one here. this is from fs taylor. the fire theory makes no sense.
theory has been a big one today but you don t like that do you, jeff weiss? no. the idea that they were incapacitated, turned to the left and looked for a runway, the problem is that they flew past it and then proceeded to engage in a series of very precise maneuvers heading over these waypoints in the sky and followed the zigzag pattern that incapacitated pilot could not have done. the other problem is that if they had just become incapacitated and headed towards lan could you wee and headed into the horizon until their fuel ran out, they would have wound up near the horn of africa or something. they would not have ended up in the south indian ocean. so on two counts at least this theory doesn t hold water. here s another one here. this is from fs taylor. the fire theory makes no sense.
find this debris area of something, using satellites. now, david, i keep talking about this being the extremes of the range of this jet because one of the working theories is that the jet was flying basically a ghost ship, that those on board, potentially no longer had the ability to fly this jet, that it was flying on auto pilot and it would do so until it ran out of fuel. so it makes sense, that if that was the case, it makes sense it would have also the satellite data coming out, the plane may have gone along the southern or northern arc. it also suggested it flew for several hours, right at the extremity perhaps when the fuel ran out. so it does add up at this moment, but you have to be extremely cautious at this time because it s only a few indistinct pictures from a commercial satellite.
