He's wearing a vest though. Not cool, that.

From the Beeb.

 Goodfellow's theory has been disputed. If the course was changed during a major emergency, one might expect it to be done using manual control. But the left turn was the result of someone in the cockpit typing "seven or eight keystrokes into a computer on a knee-high pedestal between the captain and the first officer, according to officials", the New York Times reported. The paper says this "has reinforced the belief of investigators - first voiced by Malaysian officials - that the plane was deliberately diverted and that foul play was involved."

Whilst reading that absolutely enthralling PPRuNe thread, I came across the term "Occam's Razor".


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occam's_razor

Maybe I just had a blind spot, & everyone is familiar with it, but I've never once heard the expression previously.

I'm sure some one on blonde has Occam's razor in their sig' but I can't remember who.
If your reading this, wave!

Ha wasn't me booder, perhaps the most bizarre news story I have followed. All I do every day is check news pages every hour to see what is being said. See you've been following PPRuNe teacakes, even there people are going mad.

Tony. The next time you're in Waterstones, pick up a copy of Twelve Years of A Slave. Story aside, it's worth reading because it's so beautifully written.

Thanks Tom, will do.

There is a Waterstones in Kingston, I'll get a copy picked up for me.

At the time, that looked very plausible.

That was a painful watch, David.

Most of us feel so bad when we see that sort of thing, but mostly, we look away. 

A weird analogy for you.

That video has been watched 1.6 million times. The PPRuNe thread about the missing 'plane has been viewed 10.5 million times.
