Only pilot error has ever killed anyone aboard a Boeing 777and that happened once in 2013, in San Francisco. The Boeing 777 model has never been at fault for a crash. Was Flight 370 the exception? Its possible. The National Transportation Safety board found an unusually large amount of lithium-ion batteries on the cargo manifest of the plane, which have been known to cause fires. This, or any number of anomalous occurrences could have contributed to the demise of the flight. Taking into consideration safety protocols for pilots during fires or electrical damage, it is reasonable to consider the possibility of a disaster occurring on Flight 370. A catastrophe may have forced the pilots to fly blind, without any means of communication. In this case, the plane would be somewhere in the ocean. But what about the aircrafts last known flight path? Remember, according to the data, the plane could have gone in one of two directions along the arceither north toward land, or south over the ocean. Wouldnt any pilot prefer to head toward land? Yes, but remember that evading radar detection is only one of many steps to successfully stealing a plane. Theyd still have to find an airport or a landing strip large enough to accommodate a 777. Also, according to Inmarsat, the last leg of this flight was after 8 a.m., well into the daylight hours. Its hard to imagine nobody noticing such a large aircraft touching down someplace its not supposed to. The most likely scenario is either a disaster, forcing the pilots into erratic behavior, or a failed hijacking of some sortfrom inside the cockpit or out. As such, once again, the plane would be somewhere in the ocean. Too much time has passed for this to be a successful hijacking. Any terrorist organization would want to utilize the plane immediately, simply out of fear of being detected. This is the most sought-after thing on Earth. It would be nearly impossible to keep it concealed for any extended period of time. The most likely final resting spot for Flight 370 is somewhere at the bottom of the ocean. Its far from unprecedentedin 2009 Air France Flight 447 crashed into the South Atlantic Ocean. It took two years before the bulk of the wreckage was discovered. It may take as longif not longerto find Flight 370.
