And in other news, a UFO hunter scouring Google Earth claims to have found the plane under the water off the Cape of Good Hope, where he claims that it had drifted over the past 16 months from the crash site, remaining completely intact despite being shallow enough to be seen but apparently not broken up by the sort of waves that area is renowned for...
Apparently he must be right because he used to work for the USAF before becoming editor of UFO Sightings Daily.

It all seems well-researched and plausible except for this plot convenience:
The #1 assumptions is: Unknown event / chain of events prompted diversion
As you may recall, this is the tricky part. There are a finite list of possibilities here. Whatever occurred has to fit with the particular known facts. We know that there was no communication from the cockpit and that automated comm systems and downlinked info (ADS-B, ACARS) also immediately ceased. We also know that the plane continued to fly for many hours on a fixed course after this 'unknown event' and the onboard avionics responded to handshake signals. These circumstances rule out everything we have been able to imagine except an intentional murdercide scenario. A loss of electrical power doesn't explain it. A sudden castastrophic event such as a bomb or airframe failure doesn't explain it. No system failure we have postulated can explain it, not even considering a cascade of codependent system failures. I've been through the systems on that plane as best I can and nothing fits.
You can't present a theory postulated on a plot convenience. But perhaps, if the 'event' was a murdercide, the rest is viable.
There may be a failure scenario that we haven't considered, but this is the first question that must be solved for this theory to be viable.

And, I dunno, I've seen marine growth on a wide variety of substrates. As a whole, it doesn't seem too picky.Les règles de l'aviation de base découragent de longues périodes de dur tirer vers le haut.
