  • MH370 Didn’t Nose Dive And ‘Was A Zombie’ When It Went Down

    Having gone rather silent on the news front the search for the missing MH370 plane has been revitalised, the wing possibly being found on the French island of Reunion along with some luggage.

    As experts analyse the debris some believe that it could be used to show how and why the plane went down in March of last year. The Daily Beast reports:

    [They] asked an expert familiar with the Boeing 777 what could be read from just one small but relatively intact control surface like the flaperon.

    “It looks like the jet went into the water in a gliding/ditching attitude, because otherwise this wing component would have likely been completely destroyed.”

    This is notably consistent with a scenario that Boeing engineers assigned to the Flight 370 investigation have replicated in their computers. They reverse-engineered the final six hours of the flight, creating the so-called Zombie Flight, surmising that some unknown incident incapacitated the pilots and left the 777 to continue at its cruise height and speed until it eventually ran out of fuel.

    As the engines flamed out and died, according to the computer models, the 777 did not nose dive but began a spiraling descent without power to the water and splashed down.

    The debris is now headed to Toulouse in France to be analysed by a team from around the world. If they can verify its authenticity they may be able to gain other valuable insights into what causes the plane to go down, the hope being that we can finally shed some light on what remains one of the biggest mysteries of recent times.
