MALAYSIA AIRLINES FLIGHT 370 DISAPPEARANCE | Detective Ridiculous 

I'm pretty sure that, even with Boeing acting with criminal negligence, air travel is still safer than most if not all ways to travel ^^

Even still, a Boeing 777 has never crashed due to mechanical failure* *with the possible exception of this one, because we just don't know

blud is cooking

Hell yeah!

This would be an amazing thing for them to do once a year every april 1st just a big single episode

not to mention nobody's bothered to actually explore it entirely, only all the 'landmarks' down there

we have better maps of mars than the ocean

@@Biodeamon actually its less tgat the ocean floor isnt mapped, we have a fairly good map, its just that the thousands of feet of liquid above it is effectivley several hundred maps layed on top of each other that are constantly changing. If something quickly sinks and we know where it was we usually find it alright, but even a slight current grabs it and its GONE.

Another issue is not the size of the ocean, but the size of the airplane. Rather, the parts of the airplane. If it really came down from maximum altitute to crash into the ocean, already breaking apart mid-air, there will only be small parts of the airplane scattered over the ocean floor, which will be way more difficult to pick up by future searches than a large shipwreck like the Titanic. The only part that could somewhat realistically have been found was the flight recorder, assuming that it survived the crash to still send out signals from the bottom of the ocean. Yet even then by now the batteries have long since been exhausted.

​@Nickname-ef9tv And the only reason we found the Titanic in the first place is because Robert Ballard decided to give the idea that Titanic broke in half (Which was considered a myth at the time) some genuine thought. With his experience gained working for the US navy, he found the wreck.

Some of us refuse to listen to the ear-rot that is modern radio. I'm in my mid 20's. I haven't listened to radio voluntarily in at least 8 years.

Or maybe he just doesn't like pop. This isn't the 80s anymore, with the internet everyone can have a completely unique media experience, there aren't as many shared experiences as there used to be.

Yeah, I have a hard time believing that many countries with a military don't have at least some kind of ability to track with radar. After all, the big players tend to sell off their outdated tech.

1: During peacetimes militaries can became rather lax. 2: South east Asia is not the EU, the countries there are often deeply distrustful to each other, being very unwilling to share any military data. 3: Much depends on where a military expects a potential threat to come from. During 9/11 the US military was unable to track the hijacked planes as their eyes were set on potential outside threats.

Detective Ridiculous is ending, the 40k episodes aren't, there's still much more to cover. Fantasy is awesome though, and these three numbskulls may be fun enough that you'll enjoy the episodes regardless!

@@Sercotani I genuinely am not interested in Fantasy lore, I think it's by far the weakest of the Warham lore. I'd rather see DK do more real stories, he's great at it.

Even more, they examined flight records from earlier flights of the German copilot and found out he had been making short autopilot test runs, putting everything back to normal before any alarm went off. Hundreds if not thousands of passengers had a brush with death without realizing it.

The plane didn't just decide on it's own to up and make multiple course corrections and fly to a remote part of the Indian Ocean. It was clearly under the control of someone and given that there are zero indications of a hijacking, one of the flight crew is the most likely suspect. This someone was familiar enough with not just the aircraft but flight path itself to be able to disappear in between countries during the switch-over from one air traffic system to the next. There's really only 2 possible suspects.

@@leejs Zero indications of a hijacking isn't saying much because we have zero indications of a LOT of things on this flight. We just plain don't know - so many of the pet theories conjured by magazines and hobbyists are based more on a lack of evidence refuting the idea rather than on evidence actually supporting the theory. A lack of evidence of a 3rd party hijacking doesn't make it impossible that there was one. Even if we did know for absolute sure there was not a 3rd party hijacking, that does not, in turn, automatically prove the pilot was an intentional mass murderer instead of, for example, first turning the plane back towards the peninsula in reaction to a malfunction before suffering from hypoxia for the rest of the flight, or several other non-intentional-murder possibilities. I'm not a professional aviation investigator, so I am not qualified to label the captain a mass murderer (nor can I say that he definitively wasn't) just because I watched some Netflix and RU-vid documentaries. Even if I read all the professional reports and every other bit of the many official investigations, I still wouldn't be qualified to make that statement. And neither are you, and neither are Shy/Bricky/DK. None of us should when there are real, living people being impacted by us saying such a thing... we leave it to the professionals. And so far, the professionals are not saying it.

@@spaceDumps MH370 made a minimum of 3 turns. The initial nearly 180 degree turn which could potentially be explained as a reaction to an incident on board. Then it turned North at Penang Island (I don't buy into the 'one last look at home' theory) to fly between Malaysia and Indonesia (as tracked by military radar). And then it would have had to turn South towards the open waters of the Indian Ocean (otherwise it would have been picked up by radar as it flew over India). No one knows for sure what happened. But the most likely explanation is an intentional action by a member of the flight crew. And this manner of suicide isn't unheard of. This would not have been the first, or the last, pilot to take all their passengers with them.

@@leejs Some docs say that only the first turn and the flying conducted near the Thai military zone was definitively being performed manually and that from the turn at Penang until fuel exhaustion are possible by Autopilot (though someone would have to be changing the autopilot inputs at certain times). (Other docs say that there were other periods of manual control occurring later on.) In the earlier Detective Ridiculous episode on the Bermuda Triangle they talked about a flight where the pilots headed out into the ocean and died when their fuel ran out - not because they were intentionally committing suicide but because they were confused as to their location and heading. Perhaps the same could be occurring here - a malfunction occurs so the pilot steers the plane back towards the peninsula, but smoke or hypoxia causes the crew to not be conscious all the time or else have their judgment impaired, and from Penang on they keep trying to steer back towards the mainland but make further mistakes. "This would not have been the first, or the last, pilot to take all their passengers with them." -- but at the same time, in most of those prior cases of intentional pilot suicide the investigators found afterwards that there were clear motives or psychological instability. Like, in the case of Mozambique Airlines 470 the investigators found out afterward that the pilot was having a mental crisis over his child's death and pending divorce. If the investigators had found some change in the MH370 captain's behaviour leading up to the flight or some tumultuous event had happened to him recently or any noticeable change in his behaviour, then yes that would be a nudge towards it being perhaps more reasonable to conclude that it was intentional even if we don't have absolute proof... but as far as I can tell none of the official investigations have found anything like that about him, making the "simple explanation" not so simple after all. How much do *any* of the above considerations matter? How much credence to the real official investigators lend to any of them? I have no idea, and neither does anyone else here... we're not professionals at this. I totally understand that this feels obvious to you just going by your "gut instinct" after hearing this episode, but that's exactly the problem. Shy/Bricky/DK aren't professionals in this field who can fully investigate every single fact presented in this episode, nor even if they can assure that each fact is correct be certain that they are presenting the right subset of facts in the right overall context without leaving out anything equally important from the official investigations nor accidentally putting undue emphasis on certain facts over others. The consequence is that you and I and hundreds of thousands of other listeners develop a "gut instinct" understanding of what happened which *might* be very, very wrong, and cause real harm to real people.

Because for one fatal flight, you get tens of thousands normal flights. If you really want to look at the time when air travel was dangerous, look at 1920s.

@@Jfk2Mr if to speak about dangerous air travel, let's speak about 1940s above Europe

@@sadestmage there's problem - that's military aviation, I point at civil aviation, where aside from specific circumstances you're not going to be shot out of the sky, so accident causes will be predominantly human error, equipment malfunction/bad design and weather

Bet

lets see

I know a suckers bet when I see it

I thought that the moment i saw the video pop up

that would be just too predictable though i just gotta ask, anybody checked Trazyn's Vault lately? just throwing that out there....

Yeah my first thought as someone who used to do military communications was like, if I was in the field and saw a radar ping, nobody has told me about a missing plane. I don't know all of the flight paths, nor would I be in communication with an air traffic control center even if I did see something weird

ayoooo.

Im kinda dark in that i think everyone except whoever was flying the plane was dead not long after takeoff

If I remember correctly, that number included simulator hours. But did have an impressive n7mber of actual flight hours

​@@Man_Emperor_of_Mankind Some regulations say pilots may not spend more than 1000 hours per year in the cockpit. Which is about half the work time of a normal workplace but considering the highly irregular work pace reasonable. Since he was in his fifties he may have very well accumulated 20k actual flight hours, in any case he was an experienced pilot.

As a fellow Malaysian, i tend to agree

That's a pretty good guess, ye.

Ooooooh. Yeah that's a solid guess.

He was the nerd in a goth/emp group

That happened before hasnt it? Where a pilot basically did a mass murder suicide by crashing the plane into the ground

@@thecrtf4953 A couple of times. One example is Germanwings flight 9525 from 2015. The co-pilot crashed the plane into the French Alps via autopilot after he locked the pilot out of the cockpit, ironically through measures installed after 9-11. The blackbox recorded the pilot shouting through the door, the passengers must have been aware that something was going on. It was later found that the co-pilot had become suicidal as psychological issues led to him being declared unfit for flying by doctors (which he hid from his employers). Records from earlier flights revealed he had made autopilot test runs. No suicide note was found.

@@thecrtf4953 I think so. Wouldn't surprise me anyway.

IIRC, there’s a theory that the plane went down over or near a very deep trench, and one of the arguments that the pilot was still alive at the end is that the final movements of the plane may have been him attempting to guide the plane so that it would hit the water where it would then sink into the trench to prevent any attempt to retrieve it.

​@@thecrtf4953The only thing I can remember ist the Germanwings flight. The pilot crashed into the Alps in France. But that happened one year later.

I remember going on one something like a decade ago. And then I heard they were retired because they had acquired this embarassing habit of sinking. I don't think anyone died, but yeah, those things clearly weren't built to last this long.

Military airplanes have a whole different strain during flying and require easily 10 hours of maintenance per hour of flight. Civilian airplanes by comparison can, depending on the type, spend more than 1/4 of therir time in the air.

he said plane was stuck in the air. thats not how physics work

"Separatist" forces supplied by Russia with a Buk missile system, whose way in and out of Ukraine has been traced by social media and camera pictures. I wonder wether that spacific Buk vehicle has found its demise in Ukraine by now.

Both cases differ so much that they are coincidential. Nevertheless these were two hard hits for Malaysia Airlines that eventually contributed to the company's bancruptcy the next year and the state taking over.

@McGillus If this is true, I wonder...do you think the pilot of the mh370 was paid an incredible baffling amount of money? essentially to fly himself and everybody into their demise and pay out his family or do you think he was pressured to do it?

Lmao these events have nothing in common. Sometimes bad things just happen in sequence. Go make schizo posts elsewhere.

Lmao these situations are nothing alike.

@@whatever3917 O no, I am suggesting the latter to be a ghost plane, scandal of belgravia style. It was the missing plane repurposed. Intelligence services got heads up of the plane exploding, possibly to do with the two iranians using stolen passports. The plane got registered as missing so the terror cell wouldn't be the wiser the plan failed and two of their agents are in a blacksite drooling. Mh370 never went down and no one got murdered over Ukraine. The plane was used to create public outcry to halt Russia silently advancing into the rebelling provinces. Yes, I am completely making this stuff up.

Coconut shake!!!

😂😂😂😂
