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 fricking high that it just left the gravitational pull of the earth???!?

Felt like a good 30% of this website believed the plane was sitting on a runway in Pakistan.

This reminds me of the meauxjeaux 100 mph gas mileage post.

at least that was based in science

I've read some good ones over the years, but my man you are at the top of that list. Paging el Gaucho.....,
time to do work son !

777Tiger, was there ever a preliminary finding on that 767 cargo crash in Texas a few months ago ?

We’re never going to know. One of the great mysteries of our time. But it’s safe to say it crashed in the Indian Ocean either due to cockpit fire and incapacitation OR pilot suicide.

But how did he kill the copilot is the real question? I'm thinking ball point pen to the jugular...

I heard about the pilot going up higher than 40,000 ft for a little while, during the week that the plane vanished. It was part of the reporting that went on.
That was part of the concern, at the time, that the plane was taken to be used as a terrorist weapon, and the passengers were killed right away just to get rid of them as witnesses.

If that part is true about the pilot having flown a very similar flight pattern that ended in running out of fuel over the Indian Ocean on his home flight simulator, it seems fairly certain that is the answer

Thanks, yeah I saw it just a bit earlier.

in his defense, the science behind escape velocity is a pretty tight lipped state secret that not a lot of people understand or could replicate.

More speculation, but the co-pilot was a trainee. They believe he told him to check something in the cabin, locked the doors, then depressurized the cabin.
But I like your ballpoint pen theory better.

I don't know what altitude would cause a compression issue, but there is some altitude higher than 40,000 ft that would do it.
The reporting at the time went into what the 767 was capable of doing, and much oxygen the passengers and air crew could expect etc.
