If it went down with the hull intact, it would break apart or surface (planes are full of air and buoyant). If it broke apart on impact, there would be floating debris. If it went down on the surface, mostly intact, filled with water and sank, ok. No debris.

his contention was if it went down nose first at speed like flight 93, it would break up so much, the debris field would be hard to spot. I seem to remember when they were trying to piece 93 together them talking about big the debris radius was and how small some of parts were. There would be an oil slick, but its size would be dependent on how much fuel was left at the time

Now Malaysia is saying it was diverted by someone on board. The search area is most of the Indian Ocean, an average depth of around 2 miles. The search area also includes some islands and a smaller chunk of the continent.

I'm guessing any 777 not showing a valid transponder code and flying where it is supposed to be flying is likely to be shot down, as a terrorist threat.


Practically no one besides North Korea and MAYBE Iran would shoot down an airliner as a terrorist threat without specific confirmation it was to be used as a weapon. That's.. really bad juju.

Can we retask some of the drones we are using to bomb Pakistan to help with this effort?


They are completely unsuited to the task.
