If they ever do find it underwater, it'll be interesting to see how intact it is?
Kinda makes sense that if the pilots were still alive on impact, they would have tried to skim it across the water as gentle as possible. The problem there is, that water out there is rarely calm enough for that.
Hope we find out someday!
If they had landed like that Steve, there'd have been time to get people out.
And if their plan had gone wrong, and they were forced to ditch it, they'd have turned communications back on
to save their own skins.

Whole thing stinks!

But as for conspiracies... I only believe in them when governments are involved!

Not necessarily. Most water landings (they are really water crashes, not landings) don't go as well as the infamous Miracle on the Hudson. It takes a tremendous amount of skill and luck for the plane not to break up and sink quickly.

Still say if they knew they were going down there'd have been a Mayday.

If there was an emergency attempt to land/crash on the water, the passengers would have known - no phone calls?

It only takes two to make a conspiracy. Captain and Co-pilot. Would love to know what was in that cargo!

If they deliberately crashed/suicide they wouldn't have tried to land in one piece, therefore there'd be lots of debris.

If they didn't want to crash, they'd have sent some communication, even if a hijack had gone wrong, just to save their own skins.

Whole thing doesn't make sense. A landing somewhere would make more so.

Is that one of the ones Ringo sang? :D
George sang it Steve. It's on "Live at the BBC".
Not one they penned, but it fits the situation my lady :D

Unbelievable. What a (second) disaster this whole search has been. Fell horrible for the families and loved ones of the passengers on board that flight.

I guess we can expect a new round of CNN specials on Flight 370. Although I gotta admit that round the clock talking head coverage on Flight 370 was still more entertaining than the equivalent coverage on the Donald Sterling/LA Clippers thing!

Yeah, just saw this on my homepage....very sad for those poor souls!!
Life just doesn't mean much to some creeps, whichever it is...Russia, or terrorists!!
But I bet the ones who did this would cry like babies when faced with their own deaths!
It's always the biggest bully with the biggest tears when smacked back.
