Maybe if you're struggling to get the tongue-in-cheek reference to typical conspiracy theory-level 'evidence' then it's you who needs to engage the brain? It seems like you're looking for outrage where there is none.

Caged,

I'm certainly not struggling with tongue-in-cheek comments. There are plenty of "tongue-in-cheek" comments that would be acceptable, however not when they are relating to victims of a plane crash.

I have some contacts with media companies that look for this stuff, and Im sure they would be keen to hear more about your views.

Looking forward to your reply

Where was the joke at the expense of plane crash victims posted :confused:

"Contacts with media companies that look for this stuff" - do you mean you know some freelance journalists who scour the Internet to dredge up non-stories to write tabloid outrage pieces about? Maybe exploiting a disaster to write crap articles is more offensive to the families and friends of the deceased than a joke could ever be. Maybe your media friends could investigate.

HAHAHA Keyboard Warrier level 10!

Stop being offended on the behalf of other people, and even if it does offend you, who cares? The world isn't going to end. Also, stop putting things in "".

Don't like the comment, ignore it and move on.

Caged and AHarvey,

Thanks for your replies. We will be in touch shortly.

Caged · 21 May 2016 at 02:01

I will look forward to ignoring your attempts to make contact

But do not modern planes have a fail safe as in you cannot ditch it so to say.

That guy who ditched it the plane in the Alpes could not fly faster down due to safety mechanism of over speed???

Looking like a fire on board, could still be caused by a bomb I guess. Grim way to go whatever happened up there

Crazy that with todays technology it takes this long to find a plane, even in a busy place like the med.

I do hope this wasn't down to somebody sneaking a quick tab in the Loos!

It has happened before!

I always thought this zegna person was a bit of a fruit loop.

Make sure he / she doesn't go near a comedy club, he might break the space / time continuum :eek:

Black box technology is a fantastic example of human engineering yet they haven't found an easier way to find/recover it. Really think this needs to be improved.

You can turn it off.

Amazed they don't have autofloatation devices and transponders attached.

Fragile. And they tend to operate on a chemical reaction and explosive charge. Two things you don't want going on on your aircraft.

Smoke first detected in the toilet according to BBC sources. How is this information gathered? I though it would only be accessible once the black box has been recovered.

I guess some telemetry is broadcast including sensor data.

ACARS sends automatically, the source everyone is referring to is the Aviation Herald, linked a couple of pages back in this thread
