Blomberg.
Nicely framed by Tango “Once you try to inject logic, etc”. Logic is the only tool available; and it is logical to start with the end options – controlled ditching (my pick); or, the out of fuel spiral? To resolve even that puzzle is fraught with peril. Due to lack of ‘evidence’, facts and probity, it’s all still more speculative than logical and any given scenario stretches the imagination. The whole thing is off the wall, not helped by a deepening suspicion of the Malaysian and Australian handling of the entire project, from the outset. The initial air search and proceedings when AMSA were involved was, I believe, legitimate and honest. It’s the period following that which seems to cloud clear vison.
One inch of gaffa tape will retain the ELT momentary switch in the reset position, one more mystery for speculation. Here’s another, would the crew not try to activate the ELT during the cruise portion?; a couple of minutes on every so often would have alerted the world; was the crew disabled, complicit, not in control? The questions endless; the answers so very, very few. Well, let’s just hope the French can shed some light and a little more evidence is found which can assist the Boffins.
But for my money, the answer still lays with who and why, not where and when.
