They should offer Dr. Goo Chen a reward if he uses his gigantic brain, and personal resources to find them.

I am sure he would gladly use his own credit card to finance an expedition.

I would've thought it busted apart on impact nosedive or not. Maybe if it was an absolutely perfect angle, but even then I don't know.

If he posts on here I'm sure he can since no one here carries credit card debt.

That doesn't explain why the plane turned around. Thanks for wasting everyone's time, Chin.

If nosed dived into the ocean is code for sitting in a hanger in Pakistan, I agree.


Hahahahaha

...you are joking, right?

Total crap. Texas A&M ... All I needed to hear. Planes completely break apart in ocean contact situations. One of the reasons the US Air landing on the Hudson unbroken was considered a miracle. Now add 300 more MPH and see how that works.

It makes a slight difference if it's sea water versus fresh water also.

hmmmmmm - not so much. totally insignificant.

IF anything, debris would tend to float more easily.

Higher density seawater causes a greater impact force than fresh water.

Academically, yes. Practically, zero difference relating to plane breakup.

Like running into a steel barrier wall at 400 mph is worse than running into a concrete barrier wall at 400 mph. so what?

I'll throw something else out there. What if the plane never came back to ground but instead kept climbing, to the point it left earth's atmosphere? I know that a space shuttle has insane amounts of thrust/force/speed to get off the ground and into space, but could a plane, already traveling at 40,000 feet doing 500+mph pull the nose up and just keep going? What if that plane was so f***ing high that it just left the gravitational pull of the earth???!?

It's a guess based on computer models (which often aren't all that accurate). It solves nothing.
