I know what happened to the plane. Under-inflated nose wheel at take-off caught fire. Burned for an hour before crew realised. Fumes begin to enter cockpit. In case it is an electrical fire the crew pull all the busses, as standard procedure, to find the bad circuit; making the transponder and ARCARS go dark. Also the plane is put on a direct heading to the best emergency landing option. The fire gets worse, in desperation the pilot climbs the plane to its service ceiling to reduce the oxygen feeding the fire. Rapidly descending back maybe from a stall or, knowing its the nosewheel tyre now, maybe to try and extinguish the fire. Fails, but until now the pilot has handled everything calmly and the passengers are not aware of any danger. Crew are overcome by fumes - which dont reach the main cabin due to the anti-terrorist door system to the cockpit. The plane heads over the landing field out into the empty sea. No phonecalls are possible over this sea mass. She runs out of fuel, and is currently residing 3.6km down in the South Indian Ocean :(
