Spill of water/liquid over the Aft Aisle Stand
A plausible scenario, seen all the circumstances, seems a huge spill of water/liquid over the Aft Aisle Stand where the TCAS+radios (3 VHF/HF?SATELLITE) are located.
"Just in case......the Aft Aisle Stand is just behind the trust levers in the middle of the 2 pilots. If you seat in the jump seat us just in front of you."
Any significant liquid spill over the Aft Aisle Stand would:
- explain the sudden lost of TCAS why comms ceased
- explain why many other downlink data got lost not at the same time.
Having heard stories about UFO, landing on a remote island, mid-air collision and stuff, allow me to share some other plausible scenario.
At the moment, without trying to speculate because no one has the crystal ball, I do believe this scenario might make sense.
The sequence of short circuit, the fumes in the cockpit, the leak of liquid in the lower Electronic compartment, can do the rest.....including shut down all the Equipment Cooling after 30 minutes at that altitude loosing all the CRTs in the cockpit.
"Just in case the CRTs are the cathode ray tube where all the data are displayed to the pilots. 777 got 6 of those."
At night, with no comms + smoke/fumes in the cockpit and all the CRTs blank there are almost no chances.
That is it. Then we can go back to why the Malaysian Government is acting in an awkward way, why international help has not been officially requested yet, bla bla bla.
Those reasons are obviously all money/reputation related behaviours.
Can't wait to see a solution to all this, because after been flying for 27 years+ really cant figure out what really happened.
