Some dude in the Malaysian military is claiming that the airplane was tracked heading west after it disappeared.

I honestly wouldn't be suprised if this was caused my horny pilots trying to impress sloots. It would explian why they didn't radio anybody too. "Have you ever flown a 777 before? Here sit on my lap and I'll show you how." *jettisons engines*

Wasn't there a Russian air crash that was like that? Pilot invites his son to the cockpit, son inadvertently disengages the autopilot by moving the control stick too much, plane spins out of control, story gets turned into a Michael Crichton novel

They spun around and around and around for like an hour before running out of fuel and everyone passing out from the Gs and dying. Little poo poo.

From my Facebook feed: "Sounds like Iranians are somehow involved. Those Iranians are completely being overlooked. Think about it... why would they send a whole fleet to protest on the east coast of America while testing EMP missiles on the way over? Now this? Obama is a pussy and won't put his foot down.

Iran hacked the plane thru an NSA backdoor in revenge for Stuxnet. I'm not sure why they hacked a Malaysian plane yet, but I bet it has something to do with long form birth certificates.

If this timeline is accurate then the plane turned to the west just before transponder was turned off/malfunctioned and then flew for another hour and twenty minutes before radar picked it up again and the other side of the Malay peninsula. I guess the crew was incapacitated somehow. Could there have been a loss of cabin pressure that somehow caused the transponder to turn off? A botched hijacking nobody wants to claim?

I have a theory about where it may have ended up at one point but no idea why it is (or was) there. Diego Garcia. At this point, any sort of catastrophic or mechanical failure is incredibly unlikely. There are way too many automated systems in place with a whole lot of redundancy to support this. It would be incredibly unlikely for both a transponder and ACARS system to fail. In the case of AF447, the ACARS system was spitting out failure messages back to Air France. This has not been shown to happen at least at this time. Weather, does not appear to play any role at this time. The crew, did not indicate any sort of distress or emergency taking place. No debris or equipment of any kind has been been located. This leads me to suspect that the flight crew was in on whatever happened. The whole fake passport thing to me just happens to be coincidence. I doubt this was terrorism because terrorists usually aim to make some sort of statement or demands. Not blow up an airline and have no one know about it. It's also unlikely the crew was incapacitated. There's a number of sensors in place to read cabin pressure changes and pilots are trained for high-altitude, rapid-depressurization. If they did pass out, the plane would have continued onto its programmed route and not made what appears to be a very intentional left turn. From the images below, you can see that the last reported position from ATC was right around the IGARI intersection (which we can almost certainly assume was part of the flight plan). It also happens to be conveniently located just prior to the aircraft entering Vietnamese ATC and essentially, in the middle of nowhere. IGARI is a compulsory reporting point meaning that radar coverage can potentially be unreliable but it's also pretty standard in any oceanic environment even while in radar contact for the pilots to report their position. Whether the aircraft was spotted on radar or ATC was just going by a position report, we may not know. If one was to attempt to deliberately "disappear" from the system, the handoff from one ATC sector to another would be an ideal place since the pilots are the ones initiating contact. The IGARI intersection makes for an ideal location given this scenario. The next interesting bit of information that has recently surfaced is a radar return (possibly from MH370) just near Penang Island. Edit: I guess it's actually a bit more northwest but even so, a direct from where ever they began the turn, it still puts them in the very near vicinity . This new evidence just happens to fall on a path from the IGARI intersection (or there about) directly to the Diego Garcia Airbase (FJDG). The time and distance needed to make it to Diego Garcia from IGARI is well within the capabilities of the 777 under the conditions that we assume were correct at takeoff. The total trip from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing is roughly 2700nm compared to the new total of WMKK R208 (assumed) IGARI direct FJDG, being approximately 2300nm. If anyone wanted to "hide" this plane, that would be the way to do it. Limited radar coverage, secluded air force base with probably no cell phone service. Kind of makes you wonder who or what was on that aircraft. Just my thoughts. i am kiss u now fucked around with this message at 01:16 on Mar 12, 2014 |
