What the heck happened to this airplane? How can an airplane just disappear? Me thinks there's more to the story than we're being told.


Could it have been stolen by terrorist and landed somewhere for a future use?




Let the conspiracy theories begin...

 

I have to admit I have been wondering how in this day and age it could just vanish, I haven't really got any theories but I'll bet when the truth comes we will be surprised.

 

Oh and they will I'm sure

 

Aliens ran out of humans to **** probe. So they abducted a full flight and won't need to pick up random farm hands for some time.

 

A sequel to "LOST"?

 

My wife said that exact same thing!

 

The Ocean is a really, really, really, really, really, really big place

 

How come there hasnt been any debris from the "crash?". Bodies, luggage and the seat cushions are floatation devices arent they?

 

I vote hijacked. Not much else makes sense.

 

Given that the engines seemed to have transmitted data for 3 more hours suggests youare right. I think someone who knew much about flying, flying with celestial navigation and that particular airplane. They may have hijacked it to islands off of southern India or the west coast of Malaysia..

They dumped fuel to support a theory of a plane crash. Hence the two 6 mile long strips of oil slick.

What they didn't know when they sut off the transponders, was that the engines woud be sending in flight operating data back to GE.

This is not a plane one could land in a rice paddy. Somebody onthe ground built or aquired a landing strip big enough to let it down. How do you hide something like that from our satilites?

 

I don't know if there is any truth to it, but I heard one of the pilots had a flight simulator in his home. If it is true, it sounds like at least one pilots went rogue and practiced the maneuvers at home.

 

If it was terrorists then we have a whole new chapter in the war on terrorism that, of course, doesn't exist.

I hope not.

As I understand it, there was also 20 members of a company that designed air defense systems for the USA. Three of them were American, the other 17 were east Asians.


Hmmmm?


Lot's of conspiracy possibilities But let's face it, nobody really knows a thing yet.

 

Yes it would. Something this big would require state sponsored terrorism.



Time will tell.

 

In what may be an EPIC hijacking, it is looking like someone did hijack this plane.

The oil slick? That had nothing to do with this flight, the regulations on oil drilling and shipping in that area are quite lax - there is a guy on another board that flies 747 freighters from that part of the world to Europe, he says seeing oil in the ocean is common in that area. Not EVERYONE has an "EPA" like we do.

I've been away all week, and was still thinking they lost cabin pressure and it became a 'ghost flight' like Payne Stewart's ill-fated trip. But the guys on TheSpacePort (many who are 777 and 747 pilots) have come around in the past few days to hijacking.


Read the whole thread - or start around post 151:
Malaysia Airlines 777 missing w/239 souls - Page 7 - Airport Central - The Spaceport V5.5

I have learned more about aviation hanging around rocketwatcher, nin, scottb60, newsartist, and rougesaint than reading wiki or watching network non-news.

 

Oh, and Moab Utah (and Grand Junction Colorado and Salt Lake City) are wonderful places - I can see now why CAA may be a good trip to make!

 

I removed my post and posts which quoted me
It was in bad taste and I apologize for that

 

Got to keep it PC Gary...

Read that as, I'm sorry people got upset over an obvious joke.

2 weeks 4 days, (not that I'm counting)

 

I wasn't upset, just commenting. Sorry if it came off that way Gary.

 

My two bits….

Doubt it was de-pressurization. Pilots would have had time to don their mask and a signal would have been sent. The plane would have flown at 30K feet with transponders squaking until fuel exhaustion and the AP would have slowly glided the AC to terrain.

Doubt it was hijacking to use the plane for a future weapon. Much, much cheaper and less suspicion surrounding you if you buy a used airliner on the cheap. Then you could file a flight plan and go just about anywhere. After all, you don’t think the hijacker’s plan on flying the plane incognito somewhere in the future with all the electronic signatures that plane transmits? Impossible to get the parts to change the electronic signatures; you don’t just stop by a NAPA and wander up to the counter. Now they could have purchased the parts off a scrap plane… but the engine modules would be darn near impossible to get – they have to be serialized.

I doubt the Chinese would ever pay a ransom for their citizens that were on board and I doubt the insurance company would pay for the plane once they know it’s undamaged.

Could have been a hijacking for immediate use and something went wrong. If they used force to enter the cabin and turned the plane – there was plenty of time for passengers to use their cell phones. If force was not used – and the passengers were unaware – the plane could have turned and got beyond cell phone range.
Or cell phones could have been jammed. But to risk smuggling a device on the plane that could do that? Perhaps a few well-placed laptops… But I doubt it.

Perhaps a disgruntled pilot / co-pilot who snuffed out the other and took the plane where no one would ever find it; part of a big mystery suicide.
Nice soft landing in the middle of the Ocean – telling crew and passengers to buckle up for landing at their destination - or alternate destination due to….???
If it was dark, few would have known - much less got up to do something about it.
Next thing ya know your sinking to the bottom of the ocean with everyone strapped in their seat - and the pilot saying “Please remain seated… help is on the way… PLEASE remain in your SEAT…”

Leaving very little debris…. If any….

After all, who disobeys the pilot and crew on a plane these days?

 

If the transponder is turned off, does a plane still leave an electronic sig?


We now know that the pilot DID have a flight simulator in his home. And, they say the plane went through a lot of unusual maneuvers just before it went missing (something the pilot practiced for?). Now they say the plane flew for six hours after the transponder was turned off.


And on tonight's news they concluded that the plane is in the ocean 6 hours from where it was last tracked. How do they know that? Why would a pilot hijack a plane only to fly if for six hours and put it in the ocean? That just doesn't make sense.
