Has anyone ever tried a Mythbusters type experiment (on a smaller scale) to see if a plane crashed from X altitude, straight down, if there would be no debris found (and instead sink)? This is absolutely terrible for Malaysia and what people's families are going through this time of year. I flew Air Asia in June while in Thailand, and one thing I was alarmed about was that they didn't weigh baggage on a plane equivalent to Westjets. I'm not saying that was the case for this crash, but their safety standards may have been a bit lax. Hopefully by some miracle they're found safe.
