well they do know roughly where it went down but lets not forget most of the debris would have sank to the bottom of the ocean by now. The absence of the inflatable slides shows the plane didn't land on the water
seems unlikely they'll find anything major, they have found stuff confirmed to belong to it...if that oil slick was from a ship or something that brings back in the possibility of an explosion too
probably not a bomb - the oil slicks on the water indicate that there wasn't actually an explosion
brings me back to my theory that lightning damaged the fuselage and then the violent turbulence combined with the weakened plane to literlaly rip it apart in mid air....not pleasant at all
nope, nothing. The computer showed the loading screen and then just a black screen, couldn't access safe mode or anything. We tried turning it off and restarting it but the computer had died. Chav's problem sounds less serious but it is worrying when something like that happened
the pilot isn't actually at the controls for much of the long haul flights, autopilot is engaged and they can override it or something if it appears things are about to go tits up, one of the automated messages sent out by the plane said the autopilot had been disengaged so the pilot was flying the plane
