There are too many stupid people in the world. I'm not saying we should kill them all or anything. Just take the warning labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself.

Iran has a number of private and public airlines operating from their own country so they would not need to hijack a plane for this purpose?

Somewhere a pilot just woke up from an epic bender, rubbed his eyes, looked out the window of his motel and saw a 777 in the parking lot.

The hot new theory comes from tumblr. This one is apparently gaining some traction even among sane people.

quote:


... I looked to see what other planes were in the air at 1815UTC and I looked to see exactly where they were positioned in the sky and where they were flying. The picture started to develop when I discovered that another Boeing 777 was en-route from Singapore over the Andaman Sea.

I investigated further and plotted the exact coordinates of Singapore Airlines flight number 68’s location at 1815UTC onto the aviation map. I quickly realized that SIA68 was in the immediate vicinity as the missing MH370 flight at precisely the same time. Moreover, SIA68 was en-route on a heading towards the same IGREX waypoint on airway P628 that the Malaysian military radar had shown MH370 headed towards at precisely the same time.

...

It is my belief that MH370 likely flew in the shadow of SIA68 through India and Afghanistan airspace. As MH370 was flying “dark” without transponder / ADS-B output, SIA68 would have had no knowledge that MH370 was anywhere around and as it entered Indian airspace, it would have shown up as one single blip on the radar with only the transponder information of SIA68 lighting up ATC and military radar screens.

This is the strategy that the submarine used to avoid sonar and sneak into the harbor at the end of the 1996 naval comedy Down Periscope starring Kelsey Grammar and Rob Schneider.

The plane went to a parallel earth and landed on this secret island west of Australia. The Island only exists in the real universe, i.e where they filmed Dazed and Confused. In other words it went back to the real earth, and away from our current simulation earth that we entered in 1999. This is how they escaped the matrix.

People think it means "the simplest explanation is the correct one" when really it means "the simplest explanation is correct". In other words it's not about trying to find the solution to a problem but giving the most simple solution possible which sums up the problem.

Occam's razor would simply say: "We do not know where the plane is". This is completely, totally, irrefutably 100% fact. Everything else is not a fact, just a theory.

Your definition of Occam's Razor says that if we don't know something, the best explanation is "we don't know". Also, "the simplest explanation is the correct one" and "the simplest explanation is correct" are the same thing.

Occam's Razor would choose "the plane exploded into dust over the ocean" since its the hypothesis with the fewest assumptions. Occam's Razor doesn't tell you what the facts are, it helps you decide which theory is worth pursuing.

I feel like a really goony joke just went over my head.

Has anyone considered that the person at the controls managed to pull off a Sullenberger-style water landing? Then the plane just eased itself into the ocean depths like an old man into a nice warm bath.

The ocean is too rough to do that.

I keep seeing this story from sources I'm not familiar with, so I'm not sure if it's been verified, but ALLEGEDLY the pilot's wife and kids moved out the day before the flight.

http://www.ryot.org/flight-370-pilot-political-fanatic/604929

If true, this definitely makes pilot suicide/pilot hijacking the likely scenario IMO. If he lost his family, and his political hero was just thrown in jail, those are the kind of circumstances in which middle aged men go crazy and kill themselves/other people.

Alt theory: for above reasons he was planning the Malaysian 9/11, hence circling back over Malaysian airspace. But he either lost his nerve and killed himself, or was overpowered by passengers, then no one knew how to fly the plane so they crashed into the Indian Ocean :(
