Oddly enough there is an earlier AD note on the 767 oxygen system lines similar to the 777 AD note. It is AD 2010-16-04 issued September 9, 2010 that also references an internal spring in the line shorting out. In this example only a small fire occurred (!) What is really strange is that the AD note gave the operator 36 months to inspect and determine the oxygen line part number, but if one of the affected numbers was found the line had to replaced "prior to further flight". So after the 767 exercise why is this type of line even on the 777?

Is there any real evidence to suggest all these "objects" CNN's circle jerk keeps finding is anything more than typical ocean junk ? It seems like they keep reporting new debris fields, some hundreds of miles apart. Also- how trustworthy is the data Inmarsat compiled ? It almost seems as if they aggregated very non directional communications.

So far this whole thing has been a sh!t show and I would just like to see the FDR and CVR recovered ASAP.

Sounds like they are starting to spot "objects" in the new search area.

All of these object/debris sightings just make me feel like our oceans are very very dirty lol.

Suddenly the cockpit is a hurricane of escaping cabin air, papers flying everywhere, condensation mist, blow torch like flames, air evacuating from the lungs of pilots who have to force breath, temperature drops to minus 50, no oxygen in their masks which takes God knows how long to don... followed by confusion at not being able to get air and very, very quickly through the fog of their own confusion they become dizzy and faint and then the lights go out in the brains.

That is the reality.
No, the "reality" is that you have no business here. You're way too smart for the rest of us, the NTSB, FAA, FBI, TSA, Boeing...and even Sheldon Cooper.

I do love the explosive decompression part and all the stuff flying around. How big was the hole? Pure genius. Pure Hollywood. Huzzah!

You should have your own reality show. Maybe you could co-star with Nancy Grace. You could do the clueless airplane speculation and together share the psychological insights from looking at peoples pictures and descerning their state of mind...their religious fanatical tendencies (PLEASE!! Do Pat Robertson first!!) and then wow us with your technical expertise...maybe you can get Goober to join you from Mayberry.

Or...maybe you should stick to your video games and re-runs of "Airplane..."

No. I am not an aircraft accident investigator. “But I slept at a Holiday Inn Express last night!”

Now I understand where some of the musings in this thread came from.

100% of the objects thus far have been ocean junk. The oceans are very very dirty.

Well I'm certain it was a black hole. We shouldn't be asking where is MH370, but when is MH370.

And no, I'm not an astrophysicist, but I did watch Cosmos last week, so I think that pretty much makes me an expert.

And then, suddenly, an Indonesian AF jet spots them! And they contact Captain Nick (or Dick, or whatever) Strong, who's on vacation in Burma or something. And he uses the super-secret US Air Force jet to catch up with the crippled plane and does a HALO jump through the hole!

Can we check with Tom Cruise's agent? Is he available? Oh, no. Wait! I see it in front of my eyes... two words! Jeremy-Renner!
