According to information just supplied by a person whom has flown that aircraft, there is a control available to pilots to switch off the transponder in an emergency such as a fire. However, it requires a knowledge of how to do the switching off. All pilots flying that aircraft would know the procedure. Judging from satellite information, there has been four detection of similar sized and number of floating objects in the southern part of the Indian Ocean. Drift indicating buoys have been dropped for close to seven days, and therefore the direction and rate of drift should be known to provide accurate predictions of where an object could be expected to be found. However and if each detection is of a large whale and half grown calf, they might eventually realise that they have information regarding a portion of the return of a whale to its winter feeding area. With regards to the apparent total disappearance of that aircraft and no claims of responsibility or indications of wreckage on land or afloat on water, then world authorities should expect the eventual return of that aircraft with malicious intent.
