Because as much as a moron as Piers Morgan is, there should never be a reward for assault. *IF* Clarkson did indeed assault someone he should be prosecuted and fired.

No it's not. Section 2 of your link points out that they need to have quick donning masks but they don't need to wear them. Oxygen masks make communication difficult, reduce visibility and generally get in the way.

True enough, as with the cabin crew member on Helios Flight 522. The interim report is interesting and very weird. It raises more questions than it answers unfortunately.

Really? Page 27 of the official report states that Oxygen will last one crew member 27 hours with the cabin at 36,000ft. So, terrible question but if the cabin is de-pressurized, how long do you stay on oxygen for to ensure that the passengers are dead? 20 minutes? 30? Once done...

Well, there are many others but if the Captain sent the first officer into the cabin and then changed the door codes he'd be the only person on the flight deck and could do what he wants, including de-pressurizing the plane whilst being on oxygen and changing course. This explains the course...

No.

A senior Boeing 777 captain believes he has calculated where MH370 is And this one looks pretty plausible. In fact, so plausible and interesting are his calculations that the ATSB are now talking to him. Source: http://www.flightglobal.com/features/mh370/ and...

Is this the orbiter.log AFTER the crash?

Those bright spots are quite nicely inside the crater so if there is water under the surface, the bottom of crater may well be a good place to find it. So, another question - how deep are those craters?

I'm going for ice volcano's as well. I don't know much about the optics used on the spacraft but I wonder if they could be over exposing the lighter areas of the ice and so making it appear much brighter than it actually is.

ATSB commissioner confident MH370 will be found by May Source: http://www.therakyatpost.com/news/2015/02/23/australian-transport-safety-bureau-commissioner-confident-mh370-will-be-found-by-may/

I have never read 1984 so when I had the opportunity to pick the book up the other day I did. For book that is 60 years old it's very well written and has a very engrossing storyline.

Didn't something like this happen in Red Mars as well? They tethered phobos to the elevator and when terrorists destroyed the elevator the force of the planets rotation "released" phobos like something out of space 1999....... The description of how the tether came down was interesting though...

So a slight variant on AF-447 but otherwise the same unshakable belief in Airbus stall protection. Not good.

Change the screen size, make a note of the keys, change the screen size back. That's what I did but then I only use it for the ISS and to keep it pointing into the velocity vector.

Yes but at least you can GET STUFF DONE once the backup has restored as to right now where you are not getting stuff done but complaining about the perfectly normal step of fixing a computer with a process the IT industry calls "nuke and pave". If there is a computer problem it is FAR easier to...

What depth of water is it in? Those photos are remarkably clear.

This just got weird. Source: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-30647375 To me, this allows for only four possibilities: 1. The crew took the aircraft out of normal law ON PURPOSE to climb rapidly - Not very likely as crews are trained to only disabled normal law if something goes very...

It seems that the A320 does have an ELT fitted. https://www.scribd.com/doc/24949816/23/%E2%88%9265-EMERGENCY-LOCATER-TRANS-MITTER-ELT so, if true, why didn't anyone get any signals from this plane.......
