Where the heck is that airplane?

Day 9

I heard a CNN reporter this morning say that the last ping could have indicated the plane was on the ground. I didn't hear who told her that, or why they thought that.

The Malaysian government has been paying for housing and meals for the families who had relatives on the plane, who were flown to Malaysia by the the Malaysian government. Today the Malaysian government told them that if they want to return home,they would fly them home, which caused an uproar by the people waiting for an answer.

Crazy that this day you can lose a major airplane. From day 1 I suspected hijack/takeover and land somewhere. I suspect maybe landed in Vietnam or somewhere close to that.

I'm 100% convinced its on the ground, but why keep it a secret? People aren't terrified now but more like wtf happened. I doubt its jihadies they couldn't keep quiet this long. North Korea, I doubt that little **** is smart enough to pull this off. Russia for a distraction? Would be a good reason for him to pile ships and planes on that part of the region, I mean dam he used the Olympics to cover troop movements.

 

[NoNoNoYes]

I ve heard it turned up and went to space!!!

Day 10

CNN reporting flight 370 could have been flown below 5000ft to help it avoid radar.

Probably to stock pile it with nukes and then it shows up again, like a Trojan horse.

Very scary thought :shocked:

There's sure a lot of crazy theories being tossed around.

My best guess is the plane was on auto pilot, a micro meteor broke one of the windows in the cockpit. The pilot starts to turn the plane around to return to Malaysia due to the broken window, and the window blows out. The cockpit depressurizes and the pilots in a panic try to cover the opening. after a couple of minutes they pass out, and the plane continues on auto pilot for 6 hours until it runs out of gas. During the panic to cover the window, a couple of switches were accidentally hit, turning off the radio and the tracking. It's just a guess.

In this scenario, the first thing the pilot(s) would do would be to call Mayday, while dropping the cabin oxygen masks. If somehow both pilots were instantly killed or otherwise incapacitated, even the cabin crew can declare an in-flight emergency from the pantry stations without having to get into the flight deck. The in-flight announcement phones can also be hooked into the plane's radios if needed.

At this time, the most plausible scenario to me is a hijacking where both pilots were instantly killed and a hijacker with pilot training flew the plane to some desolate location. The passengers were disposed of, and the plane will be used in a 9/11 type incident at some point in the future. Considering that Islamic terrorists have basically unlimited funding, they could have pulled it off. Especially with support from state actors like Pakistan, maybe.

At least she's trying to help. :smile:

Day 11

I heard on CNN that Thailand says they tracked an unknown aircraft on radar. Why did it take them 11 days to report this? Their tracking according to CNN simply placed the plane a little farther north before making the left hand turn.

There's also another rumor flying around about valuable cargo may have caused the problem. Here's the link: Malaysia Airlines missing MH370: Cargo link to hijack claims - The West Australian

For what it's worth: Maldives 'witnesses' report seeing 'low flying jet' on morning that MH370 disappeared - follow latest updates on missing Malaysia Airlines plane. This basically places the plane on the western side of India.

Runways in range

Lots of known places to land it seems.

That's a lot of runways and I bet on a few of the smaller ones the captain could have convinced them to fill it up.

The picture of the plane in the jungle turned out to be a plane in flight.

The picture of the plane in the jungle turned out to be a plane in flight.

that was my first thought when seeing the picture... It was too intact looking to be a plane that crashed.
