The current administration in the US is supporting the Kiev gov. The Vice President of the US, Joe Biden, has a son , Hunter Biden who works for one of the Ukraine billionaires, so there is a conflict of interest in the upper part of the US gov. It's similar to the recent conflict of former Vice President, Dick Cheney being the former head of Halliburton, a major military contractor for the US.Punx0r said:I thought the U.S. were backing Ukraine??? :?
Am I wrong in thinking that these aircraft also have automated "stall PREVENTION" as well as stall warning alarms ?dnmun said:".
Repeated automated stall warnings were captured on the cockpit-voice recorder as the co-pilot and captain struggled unsuccessfully to regain control of the jet, investigators have said."
So you're saying the pilot successfully executed a sea landing of a 777?dnmun said:the flaperon was not significantly damaged except only along the trailing edge. this implies that the plane did not plummet from high altitude but the pilot was able to land the plane in the ocean and with the flaps fully extended down only the lowest edge of the flaperon would have torn off as is visible in the picture. if the plane had struck with velocity the flaperon would have disintegrated along with the other parts of the plane.
now they have discovered the door also. normally the door is locked into the fuselage with extremely sturdy latches which would not have failed when the plane impacted the water at the low speed it now appears to have struck while the pilot was landing on the open water.
this implies that the plane landed on the water and then the cabin door was opened with the plane intact so the plane then sank totally intact except for these flaps that broke off on impact and the door later separated from the fuselage as the plane sank.
so the plane is intact and at the bottom. so not a large number of debris which is why none is turning up in the search.
perhaps the scenario involves the passengers having been overcome by anoxia when the cabin was depressurized at altitude so the entire passenger compartment would have had dead or disabled passengers and pilot exited the cockpit and then opened the cabin door himself to allow the plane to sink intact. he would know that without debris there is almost no way to locate the plane.
Yeah and it probably explains why they haven't found any other chunky bits that would of been floating around if it was a more high impact destructive crash...dnmun said:several analysts have also commented now that the lack of damage to the flaperon indicates a low speed soft landing on the surface of the ocean.
when they do the structural analysis of the failure modes they can comment on how far down the flaperon was set and that should show the flaperon was set to full flaps indicative of a slow speed landing.
