[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 279821, member: 1991"] There are a number of possible scenarios that would have no human communication but only computer. A depressurisation could have asphyxiated all on board, for example, with the plane still in the air. A multi-system failure which involved a catastrophic mid-air break-up could also have done it - a pilot can't radio in if he can't reach the microphone because the plane is in pieces in the air (although one theory is that the plane didn't break up until it hit the ocean). There could have been a failure of the manual radio system, I suspect the computer has its own radio transmitter. Many possibilities. THese days the bomb scenarios are the first to be examined, and examined thoroughly. They are usually very careful to get it right when they say, "It wasn't a bomb." Even without the plane, there is a great deal of evidence gathered these days that would help such an investigation. Not only are there records of the passenger list, but also how much their luggage weighed, there's CCTV footage of luggage being loaded as well as passengers, there's even records of who came to see them off. Then there are bank details, any other info about the airline itself, the staff, absolutely everything. And because so much of it is on computer, a clever investigator can find connections rapidly. We were fast enough in 2001, to get some accurate answers within hours. We've come a long way since then. Marg [/QUOTE]
