I don't see how the pressure would cause vaporization.
You get explosive decompression, but not vaporization.

Yes, the plane would get ripped to shreds and no fun for the passengers but still plenty of large pieces left.

For reference sake, the Pan Am plane that blew up over Lockerbie was at 31,000 ft and traveling 500 mph when it exploded. And huge chunks of that plane were found. Granted it was over land but this doesn't lend credence to the plane just disintegrating at that altitude unless it was a totally new and catastrophic method of blowing the plane up. They would find something somewhere.

this is really bizarre

Current odds:
Blown up and they missed pieces: 70%
Alien abduction: 8%
Landed somewhere off course: 5%
Flew into space: 2%
Crashed fairly intact into water and sunk: 10%
Government conspiracy / cover-up: 5%

Because they LITERALLY landed on a goddamned city, not the ocean or jungle! I think the city was Glasgow. Not sure, though.

I would start upping the alien abduction percentage with each passing hour.

Yeah, they landed on a city. What's your point?

"Landed on a city during dinnertime" makes finding the pieces far easier than "disappeared from all electronic communication at 35,000 feet and assumed to have plunged into the water hundreds of miles offshore with nobody around" does.

I think he was talking more about the poster who said an explosion at 35,000 feet would cause the plane to disintegrate and explaining the Lockerbie plane didn't.

My bad, then. I mistakenly thought he meant "if they both blew the hell up, big pieces easily found in Lockerbie means big pieces should be easily found here". It's been a long day and my reading is for shite.
I'm with BeerCity on the whole "big pieces should still be somewhere" thing, though. A big enough bang to shred an aircraft into tiny pieces is kinda hard to believe and aerodynamic forces aren't enough to shred an aircraft. Look at the size of the pieces of Columbia that made it back and those things were subject to entry loading.
Cheers, BeerCity!

Very strange situation.
At this point, they have to be searching the wrong area imo. From everything I've read I get the sense that a search party this big would have found something by now. I mean, 10 countries have been searching for 3 days now.
Maybe it went down in the jungle somewhere. Don't know why it went missing on the radar, though.

Possible. 5 people checked baggage, but never got on the aircraft.
ETA: Well it got put on, but removed prior to departure. Unless I'm mistaken.

Fox news article sort of got into how the black box works in terms of transmitting location. Can those things be shut off? What are the odds that someone disconnected it when they knew they would be out of range of live updates. Maybe it didnt crash, just taken somewhere.
That sounded silly as I typed it out, but hey at this point speculation is all I've got.

Just spoke with a guy that works for us that also flys c130s for Air Force. I asked him what his thought was on it. He stated that he assumes it was an explosion of some sort since there was no radio contact. He said that at that altitude with that pressure, that everything would have been almost vaporized.
