Re: BREAKING NEWS: Malaysia Airlines Says It Has Lost Contact With A Flight
Interesting from pprune.org: Hello. This is my third attempt to make a post here. Maybe, as I'm new here I'm doing it wrong. I am a licenced engineer, B747. This post attempts to describe, with precedents, a possible single failure that would cause loss of coms, depressurisation and crew disablement due to hypoxia. Precedent: QF30 25 July 2008 Pax oxygen bottle "explodes" tearing a hole in fuselage. Ref: Please google "Qantas oxygen bottle explosion" and view photos of damage. The picture taken inside the fwd cargo compartment shows one bottle missing. there is no evidence of shrapnel damage in the photo. Therefore, no eplosion. The bottle appears to have detached itself from its connections and propelled itself down through the fuselage skin. 777: The crew oxygen bottle is mounted horizontaly on the left aft wall of the nose wheel well structure with the fittings (propelling nozzle) facing forward. This aims the bottle, in the event of a QF30 type failure, directly into the MEC containing all boxes concerned with coms and a lot more. Before all of its energy is spent, an huge amount of damage could be caused to equipment and the bottle could, conceivably, cause a decompression. When the crew respond by doning oxygen mask, there is no oxygen and hypoxia is the next link in this proposed chain of events. This link is entitled "Hypothetical" and is only that. I believe it ticks a few boxes. Hoping this post make it and generates some discussion. Bloxin. So this would address both the comm failure and a depressurization. |

Its already established that the oil was from a ship and that looks like an island.

Also there is nothing on a 777 that would be that big and shaped like that and floating.   |

In the South China Sea? Or are you talking about what was found in the Vietnam Sea?

Either of them, they said the dimentions are over 70' by 70', and its the daily fail.
