Actually I have it on good authority the Rover on mars has great pictures of the plane landing there and the passengers frolicking on a hillside.

Of all the current discussions this one makes some sense.

Lets hope he made a safe landing and we have yet to find them.

That does sound reasonable. However, I tend to believe that it went down, probably in the ocean, rather than landing without harm.

That story has so many factual errors, I wonder if the author didn't embellish his credentials!

First is he statement that a sea level take off is a long one. On the contrary, everything else being equal it is the shortest possible. Second that the first thing they would have done is pull the breakers. They would have put on oxygen masks! Even modern planes generate so much toxic smoke with a fire that useful consciousness is measured in seconds. They may have pulled breakers at some point but not before making an emergency call with flt id, position and cause of the emergency. If it was electrical in origin, the breaker was likely tripped anyway.
Then there is the attempt to explain an altitude deviation as a means to limit oxygen to the fire. Hello, its a pressurized airplane!

I have been on a plane, at altitude, with 3 foot flames in the cockpit far out over the water. The pilots declare the emergency, run the checklist and assign crew to fight the fire...everyone on oxygen and make for the closest field. You do not climb...it only takes more time to get down that way!

Just don't get me started on CNN... They'll be presenting Miss Cleo as an "aviation analyst" next...

Well let's see what comes of it but maybe, just maybe, they (the Australians) have found some wreckage in the middle of "Nowhere - South Indian Ocean."

It'll be interesting to read the news after I wake from my sleep.

As I have eluded to in my posts,they may very well find this plane on terra firma,perhaps deep into Russia,
