If the plane managed to ditch in one piece and then sunk, it wouldn't leave a debris field.

The sat pings heading west and the phantom radar tracks are worrisome. I know every nerd with sat access is scanning the area but it's a real possibility this plane has landed and the passengers are hostages/human shields for some larger terrorist attack. The probability is low, but it can't be ruled out. :noid

There are no pies stored in this plane overnight

If it flew west, it would be still in darkness when the fuel ran out, unlikely to get down in one piece,  and if it did, it would mean it was survivable the pax and crew would get out. There are portable ELB's onboard in the emergency kits. Those ELB's are water activated, so even if they didn't leave the plane they would transmit, though probably wouldn't be heard.

If it sank I think it would impload and then there's hundreds of orange floatation devices. And if it did ditch intact there would be passangers and life rafts.

Perhaps the fuselage was only moderately ripped with big enough punctures to pretty much instantly fill the plane and sink with no chance of rescue. The plane wouldn't also implode if the hull was leaking like a siphon.

when the russians shot down a airliner only a few small pieces were found.  Id cards were about the only traceable objects.

If it was big enough to fill intstantly you'd still have flotsam like the hundreds of orange flotation devices.

Last time I checked the floatation devices were securely attached below seats, if nobody had the chance to get them out before the plane sunk, they're still there.

I dont think a jetliner can sink without making a lot of flotsam period.

North Korea isnt very good at anything, and they are more than 2500 miles away. They are far too incompetent and undeveloped to pull off such a feat.

I hope you know that the article was from a comedy site and a bunch of retarded journalists took it for real.
