Fuel tanks & fuel?
ttcse:
Your remark about the fuel tanks just made me notice something peculiar....very early in the search for this plane, some wooden pallets and an oil slick were located, but these were quickly determined to be not from the plane but likely dumped (illegally?) from passing cargo ships.
So, does this mean that no trace of a fuel spill from the aircraft itself has been found? This plane was in the early portion of a long transatlantic flight, so surely it was carrying a significant fuel load. Yet (correct me if I'm wrong) I'm not aware of any reported sighting of a fuel slick from the plane along with the wreckage.
A question to anyone out there in the know: Could jet fuel dissipate so quickly in the ocean to have already disappeared?
