The Malaysian jumbo jet that disappeared has been all the rage lately with people and the media all speculating about what happened. Wired has an article that’s now making the rounds which proposes the most boring, but plausible explanation: a fire.
The article is a quick read and written by a pilot familiar with the aircraft. The gist is a fire of some sort forced the pilots to shut down the electrical systems and ultimately caused the plane’s demise. The abrupt change in course was the pilot’s attempting to get to another airport. There’s more and it’s worth the read.
It makes so much sense that my only rebuttal is, surely they already considered this explanation, right?
One reply on “Surely Someone Already Thought of This”
Interesting theory … The news media has been hell-bent on “breaking” the real solution … It’s made me sick reading all the speculations … They have blame the crew, passengers, and ground maintenance … Without any legitimate basis. Ratings always seem to rule in a sad situation like this … And the reality and gravity of the lost souls and their families is lost in the media frenzy …
