The flight manual limit of 43,100 is simply a cabin pressurization limitation. The airplane is capable of flying much higher than 43,100. Claiming that the radar track altitude data was impossible because a flight manual altitude limitation was exceeded is absolutely incorrect and it immediately proves that the author is not a professional pilot, and has very limited or no aerospace/ commercial aviation knowledge. He’s a blogger with decent google search skills, He has no real world knowledge and as such should not be trusted to provide accurate information on this subject. Just FYI. |
Plausible theory
An interesting video that strings multiple known facts into a very interesting theory....

So I watched all that. Well put together for a general interest piece. Can the airframe ever be found? What was the point of it?

Eventually somebody will fund a autonomous UUV or maybe a surface platform to drive around the IO and do a sonar search of the bottom. Like Titanic, eventually technology will be affordable enough for a historical interest project. The wreckage isn't going anywhere. |

It can be found. Worst case it might take the better part of a century, like the Titanic.

Conspiracy bull ****.
Nobody is hiding the aircraft. It's a very big ocean. |
Ocean big, never occurred to me. Full of secrets maybe? Which is why it’s lost. No accident either.

I think they meant “hiding it” by crashing the aircraft if a very remote, deep and mountainous part of the ocean. The Titanic was relatively easy to find, flat ocean floor. Try finding it in an underwater mountain rage.
