Apparently the change of course was input to the computer by the pilots before they radio'd "good night" which would suggest that they changed course before anything went wrong.

If that info is incorrect though and they radio'd before they changed course then that makes way more sense.

The radio was at 1:19, http://in.reuters.com/article/2014/03/17/malaysia-airlines-idINDEEA2G08020140317
After that, the transmissions dropped and the plane was only seen by ground radar.
I can't find the time for the sharp turn but that was after transmissions stopped.

So it looks like they radio'd before the sharp turn.

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.

I think they may have gone back on what they went back on back when they went back on backing back on it.. that is before they backed on backing back back to back.

What if, the plane was a Transformer, and it needed to go fight Megatron in a desert or jungle somewhere? You know, where only the US army and Shia Le Beouf can get to within 5 minutes travel time.

It's pretty obvious Megatron must have killed him/her in the struggle.

So RIP plane, gently caress you Megatron.

This theory is flawed because traditionally most flying transformers have been decepticons so there would have been no cause to fight megatron.

Why do I always want to sock it to you so hard?

Thailand's military said Tuesday that its radar detected a plane that may have been Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 just minutes after the jetliner's communications went down, and that it didn't share the information with Malaysia earlier because it wasn't specifically asked for it.

At this point the investigation would probably save some 2 years of time if they just "ask" every relevant country whether they happen to have information related to the disappearance.

"The superfluous, a very necessary thing"

Jerry S posted:

Here is what I think. The pilot had a elaborate flight simulator in his home, computer controlled. I think he programed a flight path into his personal computer, brought it on board the aircraft and later after leaving KL air traffic controlled, plugged in his computer's program and there was a malfunction that caused the rapid accent and decent the abrupt change in course. Maybe he had a hijacking program and it took over the plane controls and flew off to southern Iran or Pakistan.

So which of the Three Stooges do Malaysia, China, and Thailand each correspond to?

Or is it more like one of the countries is all three, and the others are just wacky pratfall triggers like open manholes and paint buckets balanced on ladders?
