@ Phil Space,

is there any confirmation on the accuracy of the map posted by you?

@ everybody

I have two questions I wonder about:

1. The debris has been found in some distance away from the last reported location and in different spots; debris will find no trouble making it that way in 30 hours considering the current (4 km/h), although it is said to have been headed northwest at the time. While debris can spur around quite a bit due to winds etc. the oil/fuselage marks would be much more coherent. Is there any indication that there have been different spots of oil/fuselage being spotted, say 50 km apart or so? If that were the case, it would point to different impacts.

2. As far as I followed this thread and the news, last radio was with INTOL. Would it be possible that an event occurred before the flight came into the storm but after INTOL, possibly disabling any human actions (unconsciousness etc.) and that the plane followed via auto pilot its set path and only then later switched off? Or would there be electronic checks or alarms indicating that?

Thx for your reply and thanks for this great forum.

Regards,

Denis
