Wreckage of MH370 washing up on Reunion Island?

<< < (33/33)

m k:
Yes, wrong question.

Why it is so easy to accept that it wasn't the pilot?

Because it's not a fact until it has been proven. You can only accept facts, not theories.

Proven to what extent? There are very few things you can prove 100%. So in the real world you have to accept the theory that has the most evidence to support it.

Pilots taking planes filled with passengers with them as they commit suicide has happened.

They do not explain this part from engineering perspective, so i am unable to comment. The other article mentioned "ham radio frequencies", whatever that means, also clear as mud. Are they talking about analysis of some "recordings" of amareur beacon transmissions?  :-//

The principle seems to be based on WSPRnet (weak signal propagation monitoring network) transmissions where an aircraft is on the great-circle path between Tx and Rx being disturbed from nominal SNR by the presence of the plane. Find such disturbances in the WSPR logs from that day, correlate those hits with known information about the flight path, extrapolate etc. It sounds...kind of plausible...at first pass.

The 'guy' published a how it works document here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/wif8oqzgm74sdqv/GDTAAA%20V4%20MH370%2007MAR2014%201716%20UTC%20Paper.pdf?dl=0 and the 'final report' is here https://www.dropbox.com/s/k4fn8eec4z9np0z/GDTAAA%20WSPRnet%20MH370%20Analysis%20Flight%20Path%20Report.pdf?dl=0 .

The folks on hackernews didn't think it was very credible: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27044995
