Which Unsolved Mysteries Do You Find Most Intriguing?

[Saidwater]

For me it would be, "Who Put Bella in the Wych Elm".

Not just crimes - oddities of history, unexplained events etc.

Lesser known the better.

Loch Ness monster. Would love this to be true.

It was always two people in the flightdeck as a min when I worked as crew. Not just for this but if the FD became incapacitated/ill. Post 911 there were added reasons for this.

I'm not sure we'll ever find out the truth of what happened in either disaster. Thankfully incidents involving aircraft are uncommon.

I do love watching air crash investigation. It's my guilty pleasure. The Lockerbie drama with Colin Firth was brilliant. I don't think there are many people in the world who could do what he did.

What happened to the two Princes in the Tower.

@XelaM

They changed the policy after Germanwings I believe - two people have to be in the cockpit at all times.

This is something that can't be discussed in detail but I think it's perhaps safe to correct that before we get a rash of "who do I report what I saw on a flight to" from passengers...this is an "it depends".

For example the rules available in the publiv domain to.cover many operatord may state (to paraphrase) "two on the flightdeck or approved method of providing an equivalent method of safety...." so some airlines may have the policy of two upfront at all times, sounds like @SupernaturalAddict worked at one, but some may not.

I think it's also OK to point out the reason for that reg being worded in the way it is that two up front at all times might introduce other risks to the operation.

I'll leave it to folks to start engaging their inner Tom Clancey if they feel the need to work out what some of those other risks might be.

Apologies for fat thumbs in the above...hope that makes sense.

I'd love to discuss this more but agree it's probably not the best idea on this forum. I honestly thought two in the FD at all times would be standard but yes I can see exactly why this wouldn't be the case.

@SupernaturalAddict

Yep I'm sort of at the limit of my personal comfort level when it comes to talking about the specifics of this...however somewhere a few years back I did come across a magazine article, possibly in the European Press, possibly a handful of years after the Germanwings final report came out, that covered this topic in a lot of depth and detailed some of the pitfalls of always having two on the flight deck.

I'm working ATM but I may be able to find it/find a link to it later today.

Thank you, yes I think it's wise to not put anything extra out. I'd imagine many of the SEP and SOP have changed from what I knew but I if was still flying I'd appreciate peple holding their tongue as you never who it may inspire. Have a good day at work or flight if you're flying.

I’ve just been reading about Dyatlov pass. They seem to keep going back and forth on whether an avalanche/slab avalanche could have caused it (or even been possible in that area).

The mystery to me is in temperatures estimated to have been between -25 and -35, why would they have taken their clothes off in the first place. It’s always assumed they were barely dressed because they were sleeping but in those temperatures, in a flimsy tent, that doesn’t make sense to me. When I camp in cold weather (and never anything near that cold) I layer up to sleep, and that is with modern sleeping bag technology.

Also if the slab avalanche caused the injuries at the tent, we’re saying two of those hikers walked 1.5km to where they were found, with catastrophic internal injuries likened to being in a high velocity car crash, and the footprints surrounding the tent show everyone was mobile at the time they left. And why did Moscow shut down the investigation? So many uncertainties!

Way too many questions for sure. I think the state of undress thing is nothing to do with sleeping as you say, but everything to do with paradoxical undressing. But yes too much that is unanswered, but some of it really does add up, so maybe partway to a solution?!

What happened to the missing ironing board?

I think it’s time they did some DNA testing on the bones to finally find out who they are. They have the DNA from KR3 so it could be done.

Ben Needham. His mum needs some answers. I know that the police have a theory based on someone coming forward but it's never been proven.

A lot of the ones already named, but also Johnny Gosch, and Brandon Swanson.

For Jack the Ripper check out “The house of Lechmere “ channel on YouTube- I am pretty convinced it was him, and they are interesting videos anyway even if you don’t end up convinced!
