Thanks Pete, that link was very useful! A lot of the call center people at Alitalia knew nothing about the suspensions (so they would tell me a supervisor would call me back later...which they never...

Alitalia Rome to Chicago being cancelled?

Hi everyone! I've been going through a VERY long and drawn-out process of trying to book a flight from Malaga to Chicago via Rome. The reps at Alitalia have told me that the Rome-Chicago route is...

Small craters on the seabed are not likely to last long. However, one things underwater archaeologists have encountered is that submerged objects will often have areas around them dug out by the...

Is it just me, or does it look like the engine in the picture had not been turning at the moment of impact. If it had, you would expect fractured or bent blades all around, not just on one side,...

No, the pings were detected (very faintly) at the extreme west edge of the search radius. Which calls into question the detection - acoustic searches were made much closer to the wreck site than...

Designating the wreck as a grave is more a nautical matter, I think. It makes some sense with ships, which, needless to say, are much more difficult to raise than an aircraft.

I'm pretty sure...

I'm quite surprised about that - not to sound gruesome, but I would think that after nearly 2 years, the local sea life would have eaten most of the organic material they could get at. It seems to...

That's the very aircraft - well done tredigraph! Google Maps is great stuff, isn't it?

If you zoom out a bit and look straight to the right, you see the rail track curving gently and intersecting...

Thanks for the comments! I don't think it was a 990...though upon reflection, is there any chance it was a DC-8?

I'm 99% sure the engines were high-bypass ones, in any event, and I know some...

I'm no aeronautical engineer, but is it perhaps possible that both theories - in-flight breakup and intact impact with the water - are partly true? Would it be possible for the aircraft to lose the...
