Here's a theory thought up by a Danish engineer, Poul-Henning Kamp.

http://ing.dk/blog/smarte-flykaprere-167056

You may know him from the D-Link-NTP fiasco:

http://web.archive.org/web/20060409135145/http://people.freebsd.org/~phk/dlink/

Short summary: The plane had parts bound for Iran and their nuclear reactor, the plane went undetected because flight controllers don't investigate planes coming from unregulated airspace (the middle of the ocean) too closely, and it's sitting in some hangar in Kyrgystan while the parts were driven over land to Iran.

So what about the poeple on board?

Oh right, sorry.

The short climb to 45.000 feet was to knock out the passengers. That way you can save fuel by not having to run the air conditioning or having to keep the cabin pressurised.

It's all well and good to talk about electrical fires shorting out the communication systems and what have you, but no one has yet explained WHY the electrical system would short out. Until now.

Observe: The co-pilot wanted to play a prank on the captain and brought an electric fan on board. As we all know asian people are TERRIFIED of electric fans, so when the co-pilot turned it on, the captain panicked and pissed all over the fan.

Result: Electric short.

How's THAT for an episode of Air Disaster?!

"The Malaysian Department of Civil Aviation said Monday that the last communication with the air traffic controller was "Good night, Malaysian three seven zero."

Imagine that..

Yeah, previously they said he said "All right, good night", right?

Did they just lie or mishear or what?

Or are they just malaysian, lol?

"Malaysian three seven zero" is the call sign. It's SOP to include it in every communication :eng101:

Guys, I found out what happened to the plane!

There were three scientists on board, that together had built The Ultimate Weapon (tm). The Future took them out of time to put them on trial for the crime of destroying Earth. In the Future. The sentence was to remain indefintely frozen in time for all eternity.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0054881/reference

(Seriously, it's eerie how this movie lines up with MH370 - the ground loses contact with the plane, four hours after their arrival-time goes by, they're declared lost and then a massive, unprecedented search gets underway).

Just saw it on Netflix US, it's an easy 1 hour and 10 minutes!

Naah.

quote:

Kronprinz (Crown Prince) Ludwig, later to become King Ludwig I, was married to Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen on October 12, 1810. The citizens of Munich were invited to attend the festivities held on the fields in front of the city gates to celebrate the happy Royal event.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oktoberfest

Of course, later it was changed into an annual event and lengthened, to enable more beer drinking.
