A few days ago the idea that the plane didn't crash between Vietnam and Malaysia was crazy. But that turned out to be true. And so it follows that any of the theories that sound crazy today, must also turn out to be true.

It had a weird vibe to it, to me.

About 8 hours ago the police in Malaysia said it's official a terrorist act. But the vibe I think many people are getting is that they are trying to implicate the political opposition. They already jailed Anwar for homosexuality, why not a missing plane too?Emanuel Collective posted:This is the pic Reddit is talking about : If it's not obvious, the top right image there has another plane photo superimposed on it.

Roargasm posted:Lots of people are starting to ask questions about Diego Garcia, which is a theory that popped up in this thread within a couple days One thing this whole saga is teaching people is that radar isn't actually as efficient as we think it is. It only has an effective range of about 200 miles in every direction, and that's assuming good weather conditions. Since there are no radar stations at sea that effectively means that when a plane flies over the Pacific, Atlantic or Indian Oceans there are large black spots where the aircraft simply can not be picked up by radar. They obviously do ping satellites to let them know they're still there but ultimately a plane can fly several thousand miles and if it doesn't want to be found then it won't be. If you've flown over the Pacific then chances are you've been in a plane where nobody knows where you are except the pilot. That's a little bit scary, but that is how it works. People are also giving foreign governments and millitarys a bit too much credit when it comes to scanning airspace. This idea that there is always someone sitting at a radar desk waiting for a SECRET ATTACK (from who?!) is a myth which comes from the movies. If there is a secret attack then the chances of being able to intercept it are slight if anything. The reason countries which operate a "Blue Water Fleet" (i.e. naval ships which can go anywhere at anytime, like the US or the UK) do so is so they have capability to react after they have been attacked, not to prevent an attack. This sudden revelation that the Malaysian Air Force haven't been tracking the 1000+ civilian aircraft which enter its airspace just incase they turn out to be a millitary threat isn't a revelation at all. On a side note it is slightly laughable that American journalists seem to be trying to take the high ground on this one. Post-9/11 American security procedures have been almost up to a first world standard but before then they had the reputation as being lax and completely (and I mean totally) incompetent. Someone even posted earlier about a spate of American aircraft hijackings and in one case the pilot even asked the passengers if anyone was carrying a gun. And someone loving was. In answer to your question (and I wasn't having a go at you with my earlier spiel): the US base at Diego Garcia want you to think they have radar over the entire Indian Ocean but they don't. And they won't release their radar data precisely because their rivals (China/Russia/etc) will find out the base is useless, and also because American taxpayers might start asking questions as to why they're spending a billion dollars a year on something which is doing absolutely nothing.

If the US military has radar of practically the whole Indian Ocean (which I assume you would want if you're hosting a secret Naval base there), why aren't they sharing it or even talking about it?

I kind of wish reddit had been inclined to search these images without the pretext of a plane going down. "Ronald McDonalds first secret play area? *bouncy pit with net?*" "NSA FEMA camp complete with undersea detention area/portholes?!"

The thing that gets me, is that it has been postulated that the plane was diverted and flown somewhere "for future use". The gently caress are you gonna do with a known, stolen passenger liner, somewhere over the entirety of Eurasia? Where would you house it? How could you fly it anywhere and avoid radar/satellite?

You could hide it in a hangar; a big one that is also at an abandoned airfield might be hard to come across, but camo netting could obscure it from the air. Then when you fly it out you use a transponder code for a known flight on your route and hope the confusion lasts long enough to complete your objective.

Can you put this in terms of a Tom Clancy novel? Is this a Red Storm Rising, Debt of Honor, or Bear and Dragon situation? Need we anticipate a Sum of All Fears scenario where we should stock up on champagne in the event that the Baltimore Ravens go down in nuclear fire?

PleasureKevin posted:the captain said good night to ground control and turned to his co-pilot, "sorry, friend, but this flight is not going to it's scheduled destination. I'm taking over." as the pilot began to turn the plan around, the controls gave out. the faint smell of burning electronics creeped over the two pilots. a device had been programmed to burn through the control wires mid-flight, taking control away from the captain patching it in through a radio control device. a voice came over the headsets, "greetings malaysian pilot men. this is iran. we are taking control over this flight by remote control. it's to do a 9/11 type thing. hahahaha." the pilot began to macguyver the strange electronic radio controls he found beneath the control panel. "hand me that bobble-head on the dash, co-pilot, i will use the spring inside it to--". the co-pilot interrupted, "no. i'm afraid the two of you aren't the only ones with plans for this plane. i'm really suicidal and i'm doing to crash it into the water to die." and with that he lunged for the captains neck, tiger-style. the cabin's door flung open amidst the scuffle. the men who came through wielded seat-belt extensions like nun-chuks, "hello irish. i'm the captain now. we go to america," said one. hardly anyone noticed as two well-tanned women in cowboy hats entered the cockpit behind them, "blow jobs, boys?" This is good. It just needs those timestamps like the Air France 447 flight to make it look more official. Highlights: 02:07:00 (Bonin) We seem to be at the end of the cloud layer, it might be okay. 02:10:36 (Robert) Descend! 02:10:37 (Bonin) Here we go, we're descending. 02:10:41(Bonin) We're... yeah, we're in a climb. 02:10:55 (Robert) drat it! 02:11:21 (Robert) We still have the engines! What the hell is happening? I don't understand what's happening. 02:11:32 (Bonin) drat it, I don't have control of the plane, I don't have control of the plane at all! 02:11:37 (Robert) Left seat taking control! 02:11:43 (Captain) What the hell are you doing? 02:11:45 (Bonin) We've lost control of the plane! 02:11:47 (Robert) We've totally lost control of the plane. We don't understand at all... We've tried everything. 02:12:14 (Robert) What do you think? What do you think? What should we do? 02:12:15 (Captain) Well, I don't know! 02:13:40 (Robert) Climb... climb... climb... climb... 02:13:42 (Captain) No, no, no... Don't climb... no, no. 02:13:43 (Robert) Descend, then... Give me the controls... Give me the controls! 02:14:23 (Robert) drat it, we're going to crash... This can't be happening! 02:14:27 (Captain) Ten degrees of pitch... (Exactly 1.4 seconds later, the cockpit voice recorder stops).
