The ATSB has repeatedly said the satellite data shows MH370 was in a rapid and
increasing rate of descent at the end. Larry Vance points out that in such cases, such
as Swissair 111, the aircraft gets pulverised into two million smallish parts. How does
the ATSB explain the fact that the flaperon and the flap were largely intact; there was
nothing big or intact enough to be even recognisable as a flap or flaperon on Swissair
111? Does the ATSB think the flap and flaperon fell off due to "flutter" in a high
speed dive?If so, why was there no flutter damage to the leading edges?Captain John
Cox, a leading air crash investigator, says this of the satellite data when it comes to
the speed of descent:The ATSB takes BFO data and derives a vertical profile between
the 6th and 7th arc. This is very high (almost too high) indicating a extremely steep
descent. However the 7th exchange is a "Power Up" exchange and the vertical
information is not as accurate. Looking at the 1st Arc exchange, which was also a
"Power Up" exchange the vertical date was determined to be spurious or so inaccurate
it was not considered valid. If during a "Power Up" exchange the vertical data is less
accurate then the 7th Arc exchange must be viewed with the same concern. Therefore,
the vertical BFO derived data is less credible than other data points. This would
support Larry's theory and weaken the ATSB position. Is Captain Cox wrong, and if
so, why?

So was it Vance / Cox / or both; that was briefing Sen Rex for this written QON?

ps. While on the Aussie Parliamentary scrutiny (or lack thereof) of the ATSB MH370 cock-up/cover-up; I note that Sen O'Obfuscation's COI is officially now on the Parliamentary record :
