Wouldn't the oxygen masks deploy?

Yes but if you are becoming disorientated you only have 30 seconds to do it. Then there is the fact that masks as opposed to hoods become more ineffective the more rapid decompression is, followed by a need to breathe in a certain way. Lastly there is only a limited amount of oxygen for passengers - if anybody makes it to this stage.
That was (sort of) my original question...

Those flights were over populated areas of the US, not the middle of an ocean.

You are mistaken. Mrs H put her phone on silent instead of flight mode on a flight to Turkey a couple of years ago. when she took it out of her handbag she had welcome texts from loads of mobile operators along the route.

It may seem like a desperate act to some of us watching from the comfort of our armchairs but the relatives and friends of the victims must be absolutely desperate for some reliable information and feeling that no one is taking their anxieties seriously.
The authorities continually give the impression of being hopelessly behind events. Conflicting reports on a daily basis aren't helping. This all fuels the authorities looking incompetent and creates suspicions of a conspiracy to hide the truth. The families have been fearing the worst for over a week and no one can give them an answer. Horrendous for them.
On the contrary they are grief stricken people who are desperate for news. They have grown up in a country where the government has told them continuously it knows everything and is working in the best interests of its citizens. Each time they are asked a question about their relative by another friend or relative and they can't answer it they lose face. Going on hunger strike is a fairly common occurrence in China and the government there would be desperate for news of any death from such a protest not to leak out as - guess what - the government would lose even more face. Plus, some of the older ones are used to starving having had f*** all to eat under Mao.
You need to read a bit of history and culture and. y'know, have a level of empathy above your average psychopath.

Breaking News : Plane is at either end of both search arcs & probably at the southern end after tracking data analysis completed
And what difference exactly do they think going on hunger strike is going to make?

There that's more like it.
There was a US expert on search & rescue on TV at the weekend - so 4 days ago - saying that the search should start at the extremes and work their way toward the centre. Seems that nobody was listening then, maybe they will now.

The plane was shot down, maybe by Malaysian military (heading for Petrona towers?), maybe by US military (heading for Diego Garcia?), maybe by accident. Happened before with the forgotten Iranian flight 655 but stakes are higher in the world now so noone wants to admit it - expect some fake debris to be found soon to show it as an "accident".

We are led to believe it continued in flight for several hours after losing radio contact. If that is the case then it rules out a fire on board or being shot out of the sky as otherwise I imagine loss of radio would have occurred shortly before it crashed to earth.

Ah, thanks for solving this incredible mystery. I didn't expect THAT to be the explanation. The worldwide media (not to mention many different governments) must feel like chumps right about now.
PS Have you been formally introduced to [MENTION=20045]hybrid_x[/MENTION] yet? I have a hunch that you two might just hit it off.

It could have been shot down if they believed it was a flying IED because there was no response from the aircraft , as the old saying goes - destroy first and ask questions later.
