Of course it could have been the hypoxia making them do it...?

But would they be able to do it under the influence of hypoxia that severe? And would they still be alive 12 minutes later to talk to ATC?

Turning off the radios and ACARS would be more difficult. NPR's Geoff Brumfiel spoke with commercial pilots, including two who have flown Boeing 777s similar to the jet that vanished with 239 people aboard.

He says the pilots tell him that those systems are "pretty hard-wired into a modern aircraft. "They said you'd have to go through big checklists, you'd have to possibly pull circuit breakers if you wanted to deactivate [all the communications equipment]," Brumfiel tells All Things Considered host Melissa Block.
