The Malaysia Air 777 was at cruising altitude before they lost contact and the pilot didn't signal any issues. Had to be an explosion. If they had any issues at all they would have heard something. Went down near a Vietnamese island. If it was terrorists someone surely would have claimed it by now.

I agree on it likely being an explosion. Why do the terrorist always claim the hijackings and stuff? I think it would do more to scare the crap out of the world if we didn't know who was responsible.

Great question. It would depend on the size of the explosion. I guess, if the had rigged a couple of small explosions to mess with radio and ability to fly, the fuel tanks would not have had to explode in the air. They could have exploded on impact. How far apart were the two oil streaks in the ocean?

They claim responsibility because they usually have some political aim behind their acts.  Anonymously blowing up a plane is completely pointless.

Yeah. The Sinai groups claim things like the bus bombing because part of their stated goals is to undermine the military government by crippling the economy.

The thefts of the two passports — one belonging to Austrian Christian Kozel and the other to Luigi Maraldi of Italy — were entered into Interpol's database after they were stolen in Thailand in 2012 and last year, the police body said.

Electronic booking records show that one-way tickets with those names were issued Thursday from a travel agency in the beach resort of Pattaya in eastern Thailand.

Travel agency they purchased their tickets from said they requested the cheapest flights to Europe with no request to route through China. Could be they just wanted to get to Europe and the aircraft going down is unrelated. Tough break for them if so. Also, Malaysian authorities claim they have the identity of one of them but haven't released it. Only said that they aren't Malaysian.

Clues in the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 remain elusive, with authorities unable to connect debris or oil slick samples to the missing jetliner.

An orange object spotted this morning -- originally thought to be a life raft -- had nothing to do with the plane wreckage, Vietnam’s National Committee for Search and Rescue told ABC News. The item turned out to be an orange circular side cover of an industrial cable reel. Reports of a different suspicious floating object emerged Sunday, but that object was later ruled out as being connected to the missing jet by Vietnam and Malaysian authorities.

Additionally, oil slick samples found about 100 nautical miles from Malaysia's east coast of Kelantan, just south of the point of last contact, turned out to have no connection to the missing plane after analysis by Malaysian authorities.

Talked to a friend who is part owner of a company who makes aircraft parts, and he felt it was highly improbable that even with a high altitude catastrophic event, that there wouldn't be significant amounts of floating debris, even if disbursed over a wide area.   Lots of stuff on jet liners, particularly one's carrying passengers that float.   

This is a weird deal.   :ohno:

they could have done the research on what the cheapest flights were and just had the travel agency book it. That's generally what I do at work.

What's crazy is how busy that general area is for air and shipping traffic. I guess it's a little out of the way for a lot of Singapore shipping traffic, but there has to be a ton of air traffic there from Singapore and Malaysia to the other Asian hubs.

they already do to some extent - so the maintenance crew is alerted to things requiring attention before the plane lands so it can get back in the air asap.   but to do what you're really getting at, it's way too much data, think about how many airlines are flying in the air right now around the world.

It would be hard as hell to hijack a 777 and not have anyone on the aircraft call or text on their cell phone at some point to alert someone. I mean, what are you using as weapon to subdue 250 passengers while also flying the bird or forcing the pilot to do so. the only way is if the pilot just took the thing and didn't tell anyone where he was going and all the passengers were dumb to the fact.

Those are all excellent points SD.   Possibly the plane was in a location where there was no cell signal?   Yes I know there is all kinds of new technology, but in terms of aircraft mobility, while it's good stuff, it's not perfect, and was that technology even on that aircraft?   Plus it can be switched off easily.   

The hijackers managed to get weapons on board?   

Just a thought.

The lack of any debris is very puzzling.

There was a really good episode of Airwolf (nm, every episode is really good) where a plane was hijacked and crashed into the ocean but it stayed together and sank to the bottom so the terrorists were still able to hold the passengers for ransom.  That plane was a 747 so Boeing has a documented history of making large planes that can survive water landings intact.

I'm starting to buy in to the plane being flown at low altitude to a secret location for unknown reasons theory.

I will analyze google maps to tell you guys where the plane is.

Probably a government of a country adjacent to the altered flight path is involved.

think you should go the other way. a "safe landing" is probably way over what a good pilot would need. if youre gonna figure this thing out puni, you need to think like a t-rist (don't use full words)

There was a really good episode of Airwolf (nm, every episode is really good) where a plane was hijacked and crashed into the ocean but it stayed together and sank to the bottom so the terrorists were still able to hold the passengers for ransom.  That plane was a 747 so Boeing has a documented history of making large planes that can survive water landings intact.

Holy crap, I remember a scene in a show/movie when I was a kid of an airliner being sunk and scuba divers being outside it and passengers inside freaking out.  Is that the same Airwolf episode?

and now the "we let women into the plane to show them our joysticks" theory

   

    Malaysia Airlines launch internal probe over Australian woman's claims

    KUALA LUMPUR: An internal probe is being conducted by Malaysia Airlines into an allegation made in an Australian television programme that a crewmember of the missing MH370 flight had invited two women into the cockpit during a 2011 Kuala Lumpur-Phuket flight.
    The allegation, made by Jonti Roos on the programme A Current Affair, featured photographs showing her and a friend, Jaan Maree, in the cockpit.
    Roos had said on the programme that she was allowed to stay in the cockpit along with her friend throughout the one-hour flight.
    She went on to say that during the December 2011 flight, the crewmember even posed for photos with them.
    Malaysia Airlines has declined to comment until the investigation is completed.
    Flight MH370, on a B777-200 aircraft, departed Kuala Lumpur at 12.41am on March 8. It was expected to land in Beijing at 6.30am the same day.
    International rescuers are still searching for the twin-engine plane that was carrying 239 people on board. - Agencies

go through the passenger manifest. locate the two hottest babes. these are the terrorists/foreign agents. they would have been invited into the cockpit to party and then taken control of the plane. altering course and flying at extreme low altitude they flew the plane to an isolated airstrip in burma.

I think we can accept the above as fact. now the question is: WHY?

How is this not a thread yet?

I haven't been as updated as I'd like to be on this, but would love to hear what some other's thoughts.

Last I heard is that the 2 sketch bags with fake passports and tickets paid with cash were cleared and simply fleeing their country.

Then there's this guy who waited a few days to disclose what he saw: http://gawker.com/oil-rig-worker-says-he-saw-flight-370-crash-in-flames-1542226293

I'm leaning aliens obducted a whole f'ing plane this time around.

theres like 4 pages worth in the travel thread.

mods should probably mod that stuff over here.

spies or terrorist abducted the plane.

it could have landed anywhere in a 2200 mile radius from the last known location, based on the anonymous rolls royce leak that the plane flew for 4 more hours. although maybe it took 4 hours for the spies to learn that the engines could transmit data and then they shut it off and it flew even further.

UPDATE 1037AM CST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MODS HAVE MODDED

Post by: puniraptor on March 13, 2014, 10:39:18 AM
heres my current theory:

terrorists took the plane.

they are going to load an atom bomb on it. then they will fly the plane toward a target and claim they want to make a deal for the 250 hostages, but really the hostages are just a cover to fly their plane where they want and blow it up.

If I heard correctly one was shut off when they lost transponder and the other hours later. could be the first malfunctioned when whatever happened happened and the other went off when it went down I guess. I'm just going off BBC radio stuff I drunkenly heard.

something super shady went down. those things were purposefully shut off ten minutes apart but the engine or whatever kept sending out signals for four hours or whatever. my guess is that they shut the two off then flew somewhere and landed. then when on the ground shut the engine one off, refueled probably and then flew somewhere else and this time knew that they couldn't be tracked period. this thing is gone. it won't be found in the next week or anything like that. story of the century so far.

They have to have enough fuel to fly the planned flight, plus get to an alternate airport, plus fly for 45 more minutes. So I guess it depends on how far away the nearest alternate airport is.

(EDIT: That is according to the US regulations. In Malaysia they probably only have to have an extra 5 minutes of fuel or something.)

James Kallstrom, a former FBI assistant director, said it's possible the plane could have landed, though he added that more information is needed to reach a definitive conclusion. He referred to the vast search area.

"You draw that arc and you look at countries like Pakistan, you know, and you get into your Superman novels and you see the plane landing somewhere and (people) repurposing it for some dastardly deed down the road," he told CNN's Jake Tapper on Thursday.

"I mean, that's not beyond the realm of realism. I mean, that could happen."

also, what about reports from some family members saying that social media apps were still showing missing family members logged on? like on facebook if you are logged into it on your cell and that little cell thing shows up if someone is looking at their active friends list type of stuff? you guys!  :runaway:

News radio in KC, a few days ago, had some cell company guy on a call.  He said that the news was saying that relatives were calling passengers' cells and that they all rang as normal(no one picked up) but that if the plane was in water or out of tower service, they wouldn't ring, they would give some out of network message or go directly to VM.

Anyone confirm?

Friends dad is an Avionics Engineer that consults on refurbishing foreign based planes to meet U.S. FAA standards.

He too said that it's very improbable that there's not anything found floating in the water if the plane did indeed crash or have a high altitude mishap.  He said a plane of that size impacting water fully intact would have to be a Sully in the Hudson type of event.

Straight to VM typically means that a device is not receiving signals.   I'm more of a landline/fiber in the ground guy, but I believe Wireless Networks, if they don't find a device available on the network go straight to VM.

If it was hijacked with inside help, then fuel estimates are meaningless. Just assume the maximum.

Also, my Egypt number rang when I was in DC even when I had the SIM out of the phone.

Also, what if the old pilot and the young pilot didn't get along and the young pilot was real cocky and condescending and then the old pilot got lost and took a wrong turn and was just like NOPE I DONT NEED ANY HELP I KNOW WHERE WERE GOING JUST GO BACK TO TWITTERING AND RAPPING OR WHATEVER YOU YOUNG IDIOTS DO!

And then he landed in those andamadnanan islands or whatever and just stubbornly told everyone Columbus-style NOPE THIS IS CHINA WELCOME TO CHINA SHUT THE eff UP AND GRAB YOUR BAGS AND ENJOY CHINA.

because he was old and proud and too embarrassed to admit he got lost :frown:

well i'll be god damned. now they are saying there is a possible second route that the plane took.


http://www.cnn.com/2014/03/14/world/asia/malaysia-airlines-plane/

A classified analysis of electronic and satellite data, conducted by the United States and Malaysian governments, calculates Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 likely crashed into the Indian Ocean on one of two possible flight paths, CNN has learned.

One flight path suggests the plane crashed into the Bay of Bengal off the coast of India, and the other has it traveling southeast and crashing in the Indian Ocean, according to the analysis

would have been nuts to read texts, etc. from passengers and crew if the pilot hadn't flown them over the sea away from a cell signal or gogo inflight availability. if that is what happened I wonder if the other pilot or crew made the passengers aware or if they tried to keep it on the DL. terrifying.

If the cockpit door is locked, it's locked. Nobody is forcing their way in.

Has it been verified that the plane dropped 40k feet quite rapidly? Could have been defensive move by pilots, or could have been a deliberate attempt to drop under most radar coverage. But if they were flying that low for that long over land, a cell tower somewhere would have eventually picked them up. I just can't see a jet like that traveling NW through all those countries' airspace undetected. Gotta be going the other direction into the Indian Ocean, but why? Crazy pilot commits suicide has still gotta be most likely scenario.

Authorities seem to agree the jet climbed to 45,000 feet before abruptly losing altitude. Some say it dropped to 23k feet, others all the way down to 5k. http://m.smh.com.au/world/missing-malaysia-airlines-jet-may-have-flown-under-radar-investigators-20140317-hvjlf.html (http://m.smh.com.au/world/missing-malaysia-airlines-jet-may-have-flown-under-radar-investigators-20140317-hvjlf.html)

Could be bullshit. Also hearing that altitude data from the radar pings is unreliable. Biggest problem is that, as remote as some of that land is, it's just very hard to believe they didn't come within range of a single cell tower flying that low for that distance.

I know nothing about radar but I can't imagine that it couldn't pick up a big ass commercial 777 no matter where or how it was flying. also, it is going to suck fuel incredibly fast if it's flying at that altitude for any amount of time or climbing/descending.

If the cockpit door is locked, it's locked. Nobody is forcing their way in.

Has it been verified that the plane dropped 40k feet quite rapidly? Could have been defensive move by pilots, or could have been a deliberate attempt to drop under most radar coverage. But if they were flying that low for that long over land, a cell tower somewhere would have eventually picked them up. I just can't see a jet like that traveling NW through all those countries' airspace undetected. Gotta be going the other direction into the Indian Ocean, but why? Crazy pilot commits suicide has still gotta be most likely scenario.

The crazy pilot commits suicide angle doesn't work for me.  If he was merely motivated to drop this thing into the ocean, he could have just followed the scheduled flight path and downed it in the south china sea.  If this dude really plotted, planned, and programmed out a route to the west, seems like a lot of needless trouble if his end game was simply crashing into the ocean.

the fact that he was basically nuts for the 777 and had that huge simulation rig at his house makes me wonder though. could be testing out his most ridiculous maneuvers in real life on his way out.

would have been nuts to read texts, etc. from passengers and crew if the pilot hadn't flown them over the sea away from a cell signal or gogo inflight availability. if that is what happened I wonder if the other pilot or crew made the passengers aware or if they tried to keep it on the DL. terrifying.

Yeah super scary. Also it was the middle of the night right? Every flight I've been on at night nobody talks and everyone sleeps and junk. I could see nobody knowing what's going on until the plane is seconds away from smashing into the water or at the moment it smashes into the water. rough ridin' terrifying.

it may also be a different society or something and maybe suicide is very shameful or whatevs. if he would've just dumped it immediately after takeoff then the black box recorder and all other types of stuff would've been available to listen to etc. doing it this way means nobody will ever know what truly happened if it did indeed end up in the ocean.

Can someone explain to me the satellite data?  How does that work?

Plane was not subscribed to any data services, but it's equipment still sends out little "pings" that can be picked up by satellite. The pings are just the way for electronics to say "hey, I'm here if you want to talk to me". Cell phones work the same way.

In this case, there was a satellite in stationary (geosynchronous) orbit about 20k miles above the Indian Ocean. The pings from the jet evidently provide no data other than signal strength (i.e. very approximate distance from the satellite). Thus, they show that the plane was somewhere along a huge circle around the range if the satellite. You can cut some of that circle away based on how far the jet was fueled to travel, which leaves you with two big arcs - one curving NW into Asia and the other curving SW into the Indian Ocean. That's the best I understand it.

If you are worried about public perception of suicide, I would think you are more worried about being called a killer by the loved ones of the other 238 on board.  Also, I don't think the main guy would want to be known as a shitty pilot either.

MH370  A different point of view. Pulau Langkawi 13,000 runway.

A lot of speculation about MH370. Terrorism, hijack, meteors. I cannot believe the analysis on CNN - almost disturbing. I tend to look for a more simple explanation of this event.
 
Loaded 777 departs midnight from Kuala to Beijing. Hot night. Heavy aircraft.  About an hour out across the gulf towards Vietnam the plane goes dark meaning the transponder goes off and secondary radar tracking goes off.
 
Two days later we hear of reports that Malaysian military radar (which is a primary radar meaning the plane is being tracked by reflection rather than by transponder interrogation response) has tracked the plane on a southwesterly course back across the Malay Peninsula into the straits of Malacca.
 
When I heard this I immediately brought up Google Earth and I searched for airports in proximity to the track towards southwest.
 
The left turn is the key here. This was a very experienced senior Captain with 18,000 hours. Maybe some of the younger pilots interviewed on CNN didn't pick up on this left turn. We old pilots were always drilled to always know the closest airport of safe harbor while in cruise. Airports behind us, airports abeam us and airports ahead of us. Always in our head. Always. Because if something happens you don't want to be thinking what are you going to do - you already know what you are going to do. Instinctively when I saw that left turn with a direct heading I knew he was heading for an airport. Actually he was taking a direct route to Palau Langkawi a 13,000 foot strip with an approach over water at night with no obstacles. He did not turn back to Kuala  Lampur because he knew he had 8,000 foot ridges to cross. He knew the terrain was friendlier towards Langkawi and also a shorter distance.
 
Take a look on Google Earth at this airport. This pilot did all the right things. He was confronted by some major event onboard that made him make that immediate turn back to the closest safe airport.
For me the loss of transponders and communications makes perfect sense if a fire. There was most likely a fire or electrical fire. In the case of fire the first response if to pull all the main busses and restore circuits one by one until you have isolated the bad one.


If they pulled the busses the plane indeed would go silent. It was probably a serious event and they simply were occupied with controlling the plane and trying to fight the fire. Aviate, Navigate and lastly communicate. There are two types of fires. Electrical might not be as fast and furious and there might or might not be incapacitating smoke. However there is the possibility given the timeline that perhaps there was an overheat on one of the front landing gear tires and it blew on takeoff and started slowly burning. Yes this happens with underinflated tires. Remember heavy plane, hot night, sea level, long run takeoff. There was a well known accident in Nigeria of a DC8 that had a landing gear fire on takeoff. A tire fire once going would produce horrific incapacitating smoke. Yes, pilots have access to oxygen masks but this is a no no with fire. Most have access to a smoke hood with a filter but this will only last for a few minutes depending on the smoke level. (I used to carry one of my own in a flight bag and I still carry one in my briefcase today when I fly).
 
What I think happened is that they were overcome by smoke and the plane just continued on  the heading probably on George (autopilot) until either fuel exhaustion or fire destroyed the control surfaces and it crashed. I said four days ago you will find it along that route - looking elsewhere was pointless. 
 
This pilot, as I say, was a hero struggling with an impossible situation trying to get that plane to Langkawi. No doubt in my mind. That's the reason for the turn and direct route. A hijack would not have made that deliberate left turn with a direct heading for Langkawi. It would probably have weaved around a bit until the hijackers decided on where they were taking it.
 
Surprisingly none of the reporters , officials, other pilots interviewed have looked at this from the pilot's viewpoint. If something went wrong where would he go? Thanks to Google earth I spotted Langkawi in about 30 seconds, zoomed in and saw how long the runway was and I just instinctively knew this pilot knew this airport. He had probably flown there many times. I guess we will eventually find out when you help me spread this theory on the net and some reporters finally take a look on Google earth and put 2 and 2 together. Also a look at the age and number of cycles on those nose tires might give us a good clue too.   
 
Fire in an aircraft demands one thing - you get the machine on the ground as soon as possible. There are two well remembered experiences in my memory. The AirCanada DC9 which landed I believe in Columbus Ohio in the eighties. That pilot delayed descent and bypassed several airports.   He didn't instinctively know the closest airports. He got it on the ground eventually but lost 30 odd souls.   In the 1998 crash of Swissair DC-10 off Nova Scotia was another example of heroic pilots. They were 15 minutes out of Halifax but the fire simply  overcame them and they had to ditch in the ocean. Just ran out of time. That fire incidentally started when the aircraft was about an hour out of Kennedy. Guess what the transponders and communications were shut off as they pulled the busses.
 

Get on Google Earth and type in Pulau Langkawi  and then look at it in relation to the radar track heading. 2+2=4  That for me is the  simple explanation why it turned and headed  in that direction.

Smart pilot. Just didn't have the time.

Flight 370’s Flight Management System reported its status to the Acars, which in turn transmitted information back to a maintenance base, according to an American official. This shows that the reprogramming happened before Acars stopped working. The Acars ceased to function about the same time that oral radio contact was lost and the airplane’s transponder also stopped, fueling suspicions that foul play was involved in the plane’s disappearance.

man, i really want to believe the conspiracy theory of the USA dissapearing this plane to the secret air force base in the Indian Ocean because of some atomic material secretly stored on the plane that had something to do with the mysterious navy seal deaths on the Maersk Alabama ship that Captain Phillips used to captain.  The problem with this otherwise awesome story would be that the USA would, necesarrily, have to execute all of the people on board the flight, to cover up the conspiracy.  This, of course, would be pretty uncool.

In all seriousness, the Diego Garcia conspiracy theory does raise

LOL OMG

Didn't mean the conspiracy theory is legit.  just that the naval base being located within the general flight path is interesting.  Didn't realize that we had a naval base in the middle of the Indian Ocean.

I wasn't really commenting on the guts of your post fwiw

So reports that pilot deleted all his flight simulator history.   Hm....

deleting your browser history is totally normal bro

And it's even harder to identify the flight on radar because Asian cockpits are pixelated.

that's a stupid theory. you don't need a 777 to carry a nuclear weapon. you don't even need a canadair regional jet. a cessna could do it. and with much less obviousness. you could also steal a cessna and nobody other than the owner and his insurance company would give a crap.

I don't see where that is his theory....his theory is that using the airliner as cover is the best way to infiltrate airspace.

An unidentified Cessna was be quiclkly shot down.   An airliner (possibly squawking a different transponder code and sporting different livery) would be much more problematic.     Who's going to make the call and how long will it take if a Lufthansa 777 shows up in NYC airspace, not responding to the tower?   

I'm not saying I agree with it, but the fact 2 very well grounded and logical pilots feel it is plausible makes me reconsider it.

Kinda weird that we're more than 10 days past the disappearance, and new information is still coming out that you'd think they should have known a lot sooner. Like "oh by the way, you know that turn the jet made around the time the pilot made his last voice transmission? That turn was programmed into the computer. You think that might be important? Welp, anyway, thats what happened. If I remember anything else I'll send you a text."

What's the most likely scenario at this point? I gotta think its crazy/suicidal pilot followed by crazy/suicidal hijacker. Can't think of another scenario that's even close.

Transponders deliberately shut off, no communication, deliberately veered off course via guidance computer, and flew until close to when fuel would have run out. That's seems to pretty definitively rule out an accident. Of the two possible "arcs" the one over land is almost impossible to believe, so it turned SW (partially corroborated by radar) towards the wide open Indian Ocean.

But if it's suicide, why not just point nose down? Maybe he just didn't have the guts to do it and just sat there on autopilot for seven hours?

Hope it doesn't take two years to retrieve the black boxes like it did for AF.

The problem with this theory is that it seems extremely unlikely that an accident such as a fire would completely disable communications and transponders while still allowing the plane to fly for seven hours. Not to mention the deliberate turn off course programmed into the computer. That doesn't add up to accident.

If we don't find the black boxes before the batteries run out, we have about the same chance of finding them as Amelia Earhart's plane. The search area is massive in a very remote area and there's a chance that debris isn't even floating anymore.

Unless they find debris, the search area will be several million square miles according to the latest estimates. Even if they find debris, it will have been adrift so long that I'd still guess the search area is at least thousands of square miles, probably bigger.

By comparison, the search area for Air France 447 was narrowed to about 50 miles due to much more promptly discovered debris and more flight data from ACARS. It still took 4 searches over 2 years to find the wreckage.

Based on info being reported, I don't see how the PM had enough to make an announcement to the families, so they either know more than they're telling, or dumbasses. Both equally possible, and not mutually exclusive.

Even if they've finally found debris, it's been two weeks. Trying to backtrack from there based on weather, currents, and a vague trajectory leaves a very big search area.

And good point about the voice recorders. Still, finding the wreckage, data recorders, and bodies - particularly those of pilots - could tell us a lot.

HONG KONG (AP) — A Malaysia Airlines flight from Kuala Lumpur to Seoul has made an emergency landing in Hong Kong after a generator failed.

Hong Kong's airport says firefighters were put on standby for the arrival of the Airbus A330-300, which landed without incident just before 3 a.m. on Monday.

Malaysia Airlines says in a statement that flight MH066 was diverted to the southern Chinese city after the main generator supplying normal electrical power failed. However, the jet's auxiliary power unit was able to continue supplying power.

The airline said the 271 passengers bound for Incheon International Airport near Seoul were put on flights with other carriers.

Still seems like a bizarre way to commit suicide. Basically, one pilot would first have to kill the other or lock him out of the cockpit (is that possible?). Next you reroute the plane through a couple of different waypoints while also climbing to 45k to asphyxiate everyone else. Then you drop back down and point the autopilot to the Indian Ocean and just cruise for 7 hours? What do you do during that time? Chase a few sleeping pills with vodka, go to sleep, and let the plane do the rest? And why kill yourself that way? Do you figure if you plan it just right, nobody will ever find you or prove it was suicide?

And if a satellite spots a debris field with 120 objects, even if not verified, maybe it's time to start tracing that back and narrowing the search area as much as possible?

after watching some of this coverage the last few days, that area is sketchy as crap. I wouldn't want to be in a plane cruising at a few hundred feet above the water after a 4 hour one way flight just to get there, or on a boat/ship dealing with those rough ass waters. I'd just say they're all gone, maybe search some dry areas for anything terrorist related and call it good if nothing is found.

I'm curious why the satellites keep picking up objects, but the searchers can't find anything. I know the water is rough and remote, but satellites can pinpoint locations within a few feet. Are the images several days out of date?

And if a satellite spots a debris field with 120 objects, even if not verified, maybe it's time to start tracing that back and narrowing the search area as much as possible?

yeah no doubt, K-S-U. you and I are much smarter and better at tracking this stuff down than the 8 governments. give us the technology and well find that bad boy in an hour or two.

Exactly. I wonder if they're using Google Earth? Amazing program.

Quote from: Nicole Guihaumé ([email protected]) Subject: MH370 is in Diego Garcia
Hi,

MH370's disappearance is not yet solved. Not a single word has been opposed to the explanation I propose and widely share for I do think we are all concerned. All the informations I presented have been verified. For example two persons are named Planzer, one working in Boeing and seating in the Board of Directors of ATCA, Neil, while the other, who I guess is his son, works for ATCA, Paul. I think ATCA is involved.

I name Neil and Paul Planzer for this precise reason : they receive my mails since the 22nd of May, did not oppose a word to them. Neither did Bill Gates, Ginni Rometty, Jim McNerney, nor Barack Obama, James Comey, John Brennan. Neil and Paul Planzer as Bill Gates, Ginni Rometty and Jim McNerney are named in a complaint I have to the IC3 which exposes why I feel concerned and what leads me to the conclusion MH370 is in Diego Garcia, and ATCA intervened to cut the communication with the environment on the 8th of March. I sent it to them.

MH370 reveals the huge struggles which exist in the elite. The truth is known. For the while, it hasn't been possible to expose is. Their might be many levels of responsibility, as many persons and companies are targeted. Bill Gates, Ginni Rometty and Jim McNerney were targeted as Microsoft, IBM and Boeing. A possibility is to glance at their rivals companies, at least concerning aviation, if we wonder cui bono.

I propose you to read the mails I sent, to glance at the addresses. I join my two IC3 complaints.

I wish not to disturb, apologize if I do so,

Best regards,

Nicole Guihaumé



There are a bunch of attachments. I should probably click on them since they most likely contain the answers to all the questions everyone has about the disappearance.

McCain emphasized that he doesn't know how the plane crashed, but also argued that if the incident was caused by pro-Russian separatists, as Ukrainian officials have claimed, then the violent situation on the Ukrainian-Russian border could require heightened intervention by the U.S.

"If, if - I keep emphasizing if - it was a missile that was launched either by Russia, or the quote separatists, which in my view are indivisible, this would have the most profound repercussions," he said.

Plane tragedy escalates the Ukraine conflict

"It would open the gates for us assisting, finally, giving the Ukrainians some defensive weapons (and) sanctions that would be imposed as a result of that. That would be the beginning."

yeah there would have to be ground rules laid out such that nearly half a million soldiers would not get the job done.  rules like "no airplanes", "no helmets", "pistols only", etc

heard on the radio that there's supposed to be a recording that's been leaked of some russian separatist talking about his forces shooting down a plane. per the recording, they thought it to be a ukrainian transport plane, then realized it was civilian.

haven't tried to google yet, will do so now.

I actually had this in mind. Obviously we don't want to use nukes because really what does that prove. We also don't want to just go all hand-to-hand combat because russians are crazy snow people that all know sambo.

The purported telephone intercepts have been posted to YouTube (Russian), as have past recordings of alleged conversations between rebels, some of whom are accused of being agents with Russian agents.

In the recordings, men nicknamed "Demon", "Mayor," and "Grek" panic and curse as they realize they've shot down a passenger plane and killed civilians, describing to each other the "bodies of women and children".

The authenticity of the recordings, however, cannot be confirmed.

translations of the leaked recordings, purportedly of the separatists who purportedly shot down the plane.

Quote
Geranin: I understand, crap.
Bezler: A plane has just been shot down. The Minera Group. It fell outside of Enakievo.
Geranin: The pilots. Where are the pilots?
Bezler: They went to search and photograph the downed plane. It's smoking...
Geranin: How many minutes ago?
Bezler: Somewhere around 30 minutes ago.

Quote
Greek: Yes, Major.
Mayor: so the Chernukhin guys shot down the plane. From the Chernukhino roadblock. The Cossacks, who were stationed at Chernukhino.
Greek: Who?
Mayor: The Chernukhino roadblock, the Cossaks who are stationed at Chernukhino.
Greek: Yes, Major.
Major: The plane fell into pieces in the air, in the area of the Petropavlovsky coal mine. The first "200", they found the first "200" ["200 is a Russian term referring to dead bodies--The Interpreter]. It's civilian.
Greek: So there are 200s?
Major: Yes. Civilians.
Greek: So what have you got?
Major: In short, a super-heavy civilian craft.
Greek: Understood. Are there a lot of people there?
Major: It's totally f****d. The pieces are falling right into yards.
Greek: What kind of aircraft?
Mayor: I haven't figured it out yet. I haven't been near the main part yet. I only started to see where the first bodies were falling. There are remains there of the internal struts, chairs, bodies.
Greek: Understood. Are there any weapons?
Mayor: Nothing at all. Civilian things, pieces of medicines, towels, toilet paper.
Greek: Are there any passports?
Mayor: Yes. There's an Indonesian student. From the University of Thompson, crap.

Quote
Fighter: Regarding that plane downed in the area of Snezhny-Torez.

Mykola Kozitsin: Yes.

Fighter: It turned out to be a passenger flight. It fell in the area of Grabovo, there is a sea of corpses of women and children. Now the Cossacks are looking at all this.

Fighter: They're broadcasting on TV that this is apparently an AN-26, a Ukrainian, a transport plane, but "Malaysian Airlines" is written on it. What was it doing on the territory of Ukraine?

M. Kozitsin: That means they were bringing in spies, I don't know. You see.

Fighter: Yes, sir.

M. Kozitsin: What the f**k were they flying in here for, there's a war on.

Fighter: I understand.

The last communication from one of the aircraft’s pilots was “Mayday Mayday engine flameout”, according to an air traffic control recording on liveatc.net.

A flameout occurs when the fuel supply to the engine is interrupted or when there is faulty combustion, resulting in an engine failure.

Flying is kinda scary when you break it down you guys.

Here's how I break it down. If I suddenly fall at a given moment, what will likely happen to me? If I suddenly fall while I'm walking, for example, I'll likely just have minor pain for a very brief moment with no lasting damage to my body at all. Is this kinda scary? No, not really. Now, suppose that I am flying in a plane. That means that I'm way up in the air, going really fast. If I suddenly fall, I will smash into the ground SUPER hard and likely die from getting crushed by the immense impact or perhaps even burn or get shredded to death due to an explosion. And, you're exactly right, now that I've broken it down, I can see that flying is indeed kinda scary to think about.

You've got to raise a red flag on the whole "pilot suicide" scenario when "suicide" means that 150 plus other people die with you.

The background of the pilot(s) must be completely investigated and I am sure they are and will do that.

I just did a refresh on Egypt 990 and was reminded of the massive cover-up by the Egyptian government that went all the way to the top.

Yeah, there should be more front ongoing psych stuff on the pilots. the problem is most airlines are operating on razor thin margins. Everyone is going to be really into extensive background checks (more extensive, they are already pretty extensive) and (the more costly part) additional ongoing psychological stuff until their airfare goes up considerably. and even then they won't catch all of them because some bozo gets divorce papers served on him the day he's flying out of town (which seems like when that would happen) you aren't going to catch that. I believe there should be some way for the locked out pilot to get back in the cabin. I can't think of a good way to accomplish that without giving some other terrorist/suicide access to the way back in if he attacks that pilot who steps out to use the toilet. toilet in the cockpit? make a stewardess sit in the cabin while the other pilot steps out? I don't know.

Completely agree and I'd like a rational explanation as to why this isn't on the forefront of discussion.

I seriously have never understood why there hasn't been some form of a protective manual override system that can be controlled remotely in the commercial industry.  Every military drone is piloted from a remote location thousands of miles away via satellite.  The technology exists.

Once there is an event where endangerment occurs, the pilot is incapacitated, terrorism or other, there needs to be a code or panic button of some sort that alerts the control center to override the pilot.

Don't forget the secret override of the override in case the terrorists infiltrate the remote control.  Then the double secret override of the override/override that only the most senior stewardess will have via a set of controls in the rear bathroom.

A locked out pilot has a memorized code to get back in the cockpit, but it takes a minute or so to override, thus giving pilot(s) inside time to barricade the door in case of terrorism.  Bathrooms inside cockpit would be great, but purchasing or remodeling an entire fleet of airliners would skyrocket costs.  USA must have two personnel inside cockpit at any time, but not all governments have same rules (Germany).  This still doesn't prevent one pilot from overpowering another via deadly force.

Remote flying of planes is already being researched and investigated.  However, what happens when a remote pilot goes off the reservation?  Or the computer system gets hacked? Who has oversight/authority over foreign inbound/outbound flights?

why wouldn't the pilot barricade the door if he wanted to crash the plane? also, I mean, this guy didn't have to slow decent this thing. he could have brought it down much more quickly if he wanted to. it's not as easy as a video game where you just nose it directly into the dirt with these things but you can get them passed the point of no return pretty quickly.

I'm not sure for the slow decent, but there may be some sort of override for flap angle vs speed/altitude??  I believe they were saying on the radio that in the Egypt air incident that they discovered that one flap was X degrees up while the other was X degrees down, which can only be done with >50 pounds of opposing pressure on the sticks. ie one pilot yanking up to level out, and one pushing down to crash.  Not sure of what all physical/electrical overrides exist.

Stop the presses, you guys!!! 

I did some poking around and it looks like the idiots at Boeing have already developed something called ‘Uninterruptible’ Autopilot System and you can read more about this moronic idea below.

Quote
The Boeing 777 along with other Boeing models, can in fact be flown remotely through the use of independent embedded software and satellite communication. Once this advanced system is engaged, it can disallow any pilot or potential hijacker from controlling a plane, as the rooted setup uses digital signals that communicate with air traffic control, satellite links, as well as other government entities for the remainder of a flight’s journey.

This technology is known as the Boeing Honeywell 'Uninterruptible’ Autopilot System.

The mere existence of this technology would most certainly provide the final piece to a number of seemingly unsolved airline disaster puzzles in recent years…

Strap on the tin foil hat for this part.

Quote

“The “uninterruptible” autopilot would be activated – either by pilots, by onboard sensors, or even remotely via radio or satellite links by government agencies like the Central Intelligence Agency, if terrorists attempt to gain control of a flight deck.”

Nice patent, dumbasses!

Quote
The Boeing Uninterruptible Autopilot (BUAP), is a system designed to take control of a commercial aircraft away from the pilot or flight crew, chiefly in the event of a hijacking, and allow the craft to be remotely controlled to a landing at a designated airstrip. The action can be initiated either by crew or by government entities on the ground.

The patent for the system was awarded in 2006.

I like the Boeing remote control idea. Seems like it would be a LOT harder to hijack a secret military installation than to hijack a plane, and it would be a lot easier to subdue one nutso drone pilot in a room with many people than to subdue one nutso pilot in the cockpit - especially if he has managed to lock his copilot out. In other words, the risk of a plane being crashed by remote autopilot override would be significantly less than what we have now. As for hacking, the military doesn't seem to be having that problem with encryption of its drone stuff now.

I'm no plane crash buff, but it seems like this sort of technology could have averted almost every major aviation disaster in the 21st century. A plane crashing due to mechanical failure is exceedingly rare even among crashes. It's almost always pilot error, pilot suicide, or terrorism. I can only think of the Concord flight and the ones every once in a while where the plane's wings aren't properly de-iced as counter-examples.

In serious answer to your question, it's unlikely that a drone pilot could or would have taken over control in such a situation at low altitude right after takeoff. Simply not enough time.

The drone tech could have avoided disasters at higher altitude and longer flight time, such as the Germanwings and Air Egypt and Malaysia Airlines suicides, the 9/11 hijackings, and the Air France and Air Asia (likely) weather related pilot errors. But that's still a lot of crashes that could have been avoided and about 4k lives saved?

Nobody here has suggested drone pilots take the place of real pilots.  Good grief.

What was discussed were the merits of a system designed to come into play to stop a hijacking incident maybe four or five times a year out of the 20 million or so commercial flights around the world annually.

German air traffic authority seeks emergency systems on commercial flights

Quote
In light of the Germanwings flight crash last month, the German aviation authority has urged the industry to create a technology that will allow air traffic controllers to override a pilot’s commands and take over the aircraft in emergency situations.

“We have to think past today’s technology,” Klaus Dieter Scheurle, head of the Deutsche Flugsicherung air traffic control authority said at a press conference on Wednesday, as he urged the aviation industry to develop a reliable remote control system for commercial aircraft.

The idea emerges following the tragedy of Germanwings Flight 9525 on March 24, where co-pilot Andreas Lubitz locked himself in in the cockpit and deliberately crashed the aircraft in the French Alps, killing all 150 people onboard.

Would a drone pilot have emergency landed on the hudson and saved hundreds of lives k-s-u?

In serious answer to your question, it's unlikely that a drone pilot could or would have taken over control in such a situation at low altitude right after takeoff. Simply not enough time.

The drone tech could have avoided disasters at higher altitude and longer flight time, such as the Germanwings and Air Egypt and Malaysia Airlines suicides, the 9/11 hijackings, and the Air France and Air Asia (likely) weather related pilot errors. But that's still a lot of crashes that could have been avoided and about 4k lives saved?

Our drone techs are going to be saving german, egyptian, and malaysian planes too? maybe clams was on to something with the moon satellite.

We already have cross-carrier data interfaces set up by the plane manufacturers (pretty much just Boeing and Airbus for big commercial jets), not to mention manufacturers of some of the jet components (Mercedes Benz, etc.)

So cooperation among carriers doesn't seem like the difficult part at all. The hardest part would be setting up a system that could respond quickly enough.

Saw a story that the flight computer actually put the plane in the perfect angle of attack for a soft landing and all that Sully actually did was line it up on the river. If he would have tried the landing on his own it probably would not have turned out so well.

What island would be small enough to hide that, yet have a runway big enough? Genuinely asking, not being snarky.

An intentional depressurization would have been an obvious way—and probably the only way—to subdue a potentially unruly cabin in an airplane that was going to remain in flight for hours to come. In the cabin, the effect would have gone unnoticed but for the sudden appearance of the drop-down oxygen masks and perhaps the cabin crew’s use of the few portable units of similar design. None of those cabin masks was intended for more than about 15 minutes of use during emergency descents to altitudes below 13,000 feet; they would have been of no value at all cruising at 40,000 feet. The cabin occupants would have become incapacitated within a couple of minutes, lost consciousness, and gently died without any choking or gasping for air. The scene would have been dimly lit by the emergency lights, with the dead belted into their seats, their faces nestled in the worthless oxygen masks dangling on tubes from the ceiling.
