Maybe you should tell someone, because all the experts are looking in the water, since the last contact was over the water.Belly35;1588542 wrote:I'm think this plane when down over land .... I'm no expert just a feeling

So are they saying that the phones are still ringing on the callers end?
That wouldnt be that uncommon to happen for a phone that was destroyed.
Used to work in the business and we were very close to a lake and people would lose one in there almost every weekend once the summer came around, and the calls would still ring when you called it for awhile.

I'm shocked they're not posting on Myspace. I mean that's what all the cool kids use nowadays.thavoice;1588565 wrote:So some terrorist or whatever have these people and let them charge their phones, but not make calls/text/facebook/myspace on it?

I wonder if it's even possible to have a catastrophic mechanical failure, something that would basically cause the plane to break apart in short order (i.e. engine fire/explosion takes at least the wing with all that fuel).

Phones can last quite awhile on standby, but obviously these people are grasping at straws. The phone will ring on the callers end while the network is still hunting for the phone..gut;1588564 wrote:Not only that, but nobody's battery lasts for 3+ days
That's why phones sometimes ring twice before kicking to VM.
Moot point in this case, since they wouldn't have service in the ocean.

THis is why you never fly without a flux capacitor.

I don't know a ton about how everything works on planes, but is there a chance the plane was fine, had everything disconnect, and the pilots couldn't track where they were going and ended up somewhere out in the Pacific? or towards Japan? Seems like that could have happened, though you'd think the pilots would have a general idea of where to go to find Vietnam and China to at least stay over land and find someplace that looked decent enough to land even though they had no contact.

I think most planes still have mechanical compasses, in case of electrical guidance failure.Terry_Tate;1588644 wrote:I don't know a ton about how everything works on planes, but is there a chance the plane was fine, had everything disconnect, and the pilots couldn't track where they were going and ended up somewhere out in the Pacific? or towards Japan?

I read on CNN earlier that some families were signing a petition to hear the truth from the airliner.
What truth? They don't know anything.

I'm telling ya the Dharma Initiative is behind this whole thing. The ringing phones confirm it. But they can't answer because they are now in 1966 and cell phone towers don't exist.
