I'm still on team "it's smashed to crap at the bottom of the ocean"

I'm still on team "it's smashed to crap at the bottom of the ocean"

i mean that's always been the team to be on, but you have to admit it's less than the 99.9% probably you would have put it at a week ago.

I'm on team schemiest caper ever caped

[Dr Rick Daris]

same team as puni

[Emo EMAW]

Are all the Team Capers also on Team DB Cooper Lived?

[everyone shut up]

The link i posted yesterday was certainly not meant to be some truth or anything. I just found it interesting. It was in the twittersphere. The coolest thing was finding out we have a military base in the Indian ocean.

man you're full of crap.  everyone on this board knows you believe that crap.  we have bases all over the world, when did military bases become cool?  answer is they haven't.  my guess is that you're in on this bullshit and posted that link b/c you're trying to get people off your trail.  sad news for you, holmes, is that RowdyBoyy is a cop and i'm sure has already forwarded your entire database to his buds in the CIA.

of course he lived.

john wilkes booth also lived.

did you guys know that the black box stops transmitting after 30 days? it has already been 12 days at this point

Nex million/billion dollar idea:  Invent a black box that stops transmitting after 40 days.  Then a few years later invent one that stops after 50 days.  Rinse, repeat.

I'm still on that team, too, and I'd still put it at 99.9%.

I bet you $1 at those odds.

Ehh, a dollar isn't worth the risk.

So, if it never resurfaces as a huge nuclear missle but no one ever finds it in the ocean, which team wins?

[Dr Rick Daris]

well this might blow your mind, but i would say that if we never find out what happened then neither team wins. crazy? maybe! logical? who knows!

[GoodForAnother]

both of my pilot friends (one who owns an aircraft management and charter business in 2 states and another who charters and flies his own company business jet) believe this is a plausible scnario.   Both believe that the plane is likely hidden somewhere.   Makes me take a new look at things, since the second guy is probably the most pragmatic and logical person I know (he's a Nuke Engineer).

http://marklberry.com/2014/03/16/high-alert-mh370-found/

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 127 could do it. and with much less obviousness. you could also steal a 127 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.

Couldn't someone just buy a citation, stick a nuke on it, file a flight plan that takes them near a a population center and then quickly veer off course.  It's not like someone taking off from the private airport down in Olathe couldn't ditch the plane in downtown KC, MO without being shot down?

pretty sure as a private pilot you don't have to file a flight plan at all if you don't want to.

I've been on team hijacked as eff since about 11 pm the night it went missing.

Well, I guess finding it in the Indian ocean was always pretty likely, but it's still disappointing.

The most terrifying scenario for me is mechanical issues :(

[kslim]

Watch this sucker get found and they(rd and company) are all "jokes over take this plane back to Malaysia right now" and they do but on takeoff it crashes

I don't think this case is closed

This satellite stuff is less promising than the chinese ones early on.

I agree that the satellite pics are not super promising. there is a ton of crap floating in the ocean.

Because no one knew until now that a plane could suffer mechanical difficulties and crash?

I want to live in a fantasy world where there is 0% chance of it happening.
