Apparently another piece of debris has been found on a sandbank off the coast of Mozambique that is 'highly probable' that it came from a 777.

Rumour has it as a piece of horizontal stabizer skin measuring 20 x 30 inches. Perhaps more will now be found...Originally posted by sjwk View PostComment

And in other news, a UFO hunter scouring Google Earth claims to have found the plane under the water off the Cape of Good Hope, where he claims that it had drifted over the past 16 months from the crash site, remaining completely intact despite being shallow enough to be seen but apparently not broken up by the sort of waves that area is renowned for...
Apparently he must be right because he used to work for the USAF before becoming editor of UFO Sightings Daily.

....and he has a brand new tinfoil hat as well !!
If it 'ain't broken........ Don't try to mend it !

ODD ... there is no growth on that part. looks like it broke off yesterday.Comment

If the part was washed ashore could the sun have bleached any marine growth?Originally posted by Bryan View PostComment

I imagine not every surface is equally suitable for marine growth.Comment

Reports coming in of a 3rd object found at La Reunion, found in the immediate vicinity of where the flaperon was discovered

It all seems well-researched and plausible except for this plot convenience:
The #1 assumptions is: Unknown event / chain of events prompted diversion
As you may recall, this is the tricky part. There are a finite list of possibilities here. Whatever occurred has to fit with the particular known facts. We know that there was no communication from the cockpit and that automated comm systems and downlinked info (ADS-B, ACARS) also immediately ceased. We also know that the plane continued to fly for many hours on a fixed course after this 'unknown event' and the onboard avionics responded to handshake signals. These circumstances rule out everything we have been able to imagine except an intentional murdercide scenario. A loss of electrical power doesn't explain it. A sudden castastrophic event such as a bomb or airframe failure doesn't explain it. No system failure we have postulated can explain it, not even considering a cascade of codependent system failures. I've been through the systems on that plane as best I can and nothing fits.
You can't present a theory postulated on a plot convenience. But perhaps, if the 'event' was a murdercide, the rest is viable.
There may be a failure scenario that we haven't considered, but this is the first question that must be solved for this theory to be viable.Comment

I imagine that Bryan knows that. While he only listed one item, I think his point was that the part looked very pristine for having been in the water for over a year- subject to bleaching effects of sun, solution effects of water, AND biological effects.Originally posted by Peter Kesternich View Post
And, I dunno, I've seen marine growth on a wide variety of substrates. As a whole, it doesn't seem too picky.Les règles de l'aviation de base découragent de longues périodes de dur tirer vers le haut.Comment

My understanding is that ACARS went offline first. Is this correct?Originally posted by Evan View Post
