Originally posted by sjwk View PostI did have similar ponderings and posed some questions in those directions a few pages back, but someone (BB?) subsequently made the valid comment that the high pressures when sinking to those depths would rupture the hull and release anything that would float.
Plus it would require someone still being at the controls - and if the aim was suicide you've kind of scuppered that with a gentle landing.
And finally, ditching safely in a sheltered river is one thing, a soft landing in the middle of a choppy ocean is going to be very slim, and certainly not something you could plan.
I also havent been yet able to get through all the pages here but I'm making progress bit by bit if you all would just not be so prolific lol

You misunderstand......most Muslims speak Arabic. Your link refers to the indigenous languages of Malaysia. Many people there speak more than one language and I know from personal experience that Muslims from all over the world are schooled in Arabic by their Imam. Muslims are required to learn Arabic in order to be able to read the Koran.

In Malaysia, studies have shown that most Malay learners learning Arabic Language exhibit weak
Arabic speaking skill despite spending years of learning the language.

This translates into to manufacturers making it to withstand barely above 30 days.

So amongst those bothering to learn Arabic, most exhibit weak Arabic language skills? You may Google and find a lot on this topic, but since we are way of the topic of this thread I will leave it at that.

i can however, recite prayers in hebrew perfectly.
a malaysian muslim would likely be able to read and pray in arabic but not have strong arabic language skills

The fact remains that 61% of Malays are Muslims. Those Muslims may well have weak Arabic language skills because they only learn enough to enable them to take part in their prayers. Now, what brought about this discussion ? .....
Oh yes, I think it was this...

For aluminium, it is most likely to crush before it reaches an implosive force.
Of course, opening the doors while the aircraft is sinking is easier said than done, and would of course allow a lot of floating debris to exit.
This is all a minor tangent to the more realistic probability that there is no way to put down a 777 in even moderate seas without significant break up.
The lack of any debris after so long is intriguing.
