one thing about this plane which was not posted (i think) was that about 2 years ago it was in an accident on the ground where the wing was badly damaged and the tip was ripped off
|

By:
These phone calls are very odd. Surely they wouldnt ring if the plane had crashed into the sea.
Isnt there also some social network site that is popular in China which some passengers still seem to be using. |
|
By:
how can you pipe up several days later that it was on radar several hundred kms away, even given that they probably reviewed the recordings again, surely someone did that on day one?

There are 922 permanently uninhibited Islands in Indonesia, it is possible the pilot tried to crash land on one of these, although it doesn't explain the fact no signal has been detected from the black box but still possible, if that would have happened then there it makes it plausible that lost phones could still ring assuming they survived the crash and that the people on board either all died there and then or from starvation, if it was a suicide pilot, he must have been in one bad place to go through with something like that, again, most likely it was at sea, but if they can't find anything at sea for over a week they should start looking closer to these islands, although they wouldn't be that big, maybe just big enough to try and crash land in emergency after mechanical fault that wiped out all communication signals.

Exactly elise, if there's an unidentified aircraft the size of a 777 showing up on the radar surely they investigate it right away.
|
|
By:
If (and that's a BIG if) any phones were on and getting a signal the phone companies can work out the location pretty accurately by looking at which cellphone stations can see the phone and doing some maths .. but I can't see it being true?

What's an uninhibited island?

By:
What about all these Ocean Seismographs that are supposed detect explosions going off 5,000 miles away, surely a 1,000 ton plane hitting the water at 500 miles an hour is going to register and be pin pointed fairly accurately to here it occurred ?

If some passenger`s mobile phones are still ringing, as reported, why can`t authorities track the signal with Satellite Technology? If they can do it with criminals, why can`t they do it here?

THOUGHT FOR TODAY ....
Quote It is conceivable that the Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 plane is “cloaked,” hiding with high-tech electronic warfare weaponry that exists and is used. In fact, this type of technology is precisely the expertise of Freescale USA, that has 20 employees on board the missing flight Unquote PS: Don't shoot the messenger" |

Search and rescue aircraft lost contact Latest news: Malacca waters suspected corpse was found wearing a life jacket
Instant News Beijing News 2014-03-12 Search and rescue aircraft lost contact Latest news: Malacca waters suspected corpse was found wearing a life jacket Just search and rescue center in Vietnam Phu Quoc Island news that the establishment of new headquarters in Malacca waters returned the news that in Penang (transliteration) waters corpse wearing a life jacket was found. It is understood that the message is returned to participate in local search and rescue volunteers. Newspaper reporters are currently verifying this message. (Reporter Zhang Yongsheng) |

Without any evidence and no real facts at all, and if the Malaysian authorities are not holding anything back that has not been reported........ then after all this time the only answer they have got, "We just haven't got a clue"

By:
I am going for cabin decompression resulting in the pilots being knocked out and the plane flying on auto pilot till it ran out of fuel.
But - why would the transponder stop working in this event? |
|
By:
Happened before http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helios_Airways_Flight_522
|
|
By:
Exactly what a pilot on sky said just now.
"Alastair Rosenchine, ex BA pilot, putting forward the 'Helios' theory. His view is it could have flown on with incapacitated pilots for around 3000 miles ending up in the vastness of the Indian Ocean" As for the corpse wearing a life jacket, that 'rumour' has already been discredited. |

By:
The body in lifejacket report has been discredited/denied and dismissed by Malaysian authorities , a deflated damaged life raft was recovered by a fishing vessel(malacca strait) but was not thought to be from a plane .The Malaysian authorities are coming under increasing pressure and it looks like the Americans are going to help with a review of all available (many countries)radar info,this region is a pretty hot region military wise with some big players(india 4 1 ) all around and their is no shortage of hardware and tech.There seems to be a possibility the plane has reduced its altitude and changed direction quickly and not impossible it has flown away into the indian ocean on auto pilot ,it had 6.5 hrs of fuel on board and could be a long way from where they are looking .
transponder could be switched off by accident (meant to squawk ) be taken out by an electrical fault ,say a cabin fire ,we know the captain likes a smoke ,fire in cockpit ,time to change direction ,maybe a decompression ,explosion (  ) ,or a collision with another aircraft ,or a hijack ,maybe malaysions tried to force it out of the sky ,shot it down ......who knows it could still be a rescue op ,could be life rafts out in the Indian ocean although life rafts have beacons attatched that auto switch on upon contact with water ,unlikely but cant rule out. Need to scrutinise the info that has been put out and see if their is some sort of cover up ,fcking with the chinese is not summit you would do imo ,very likely the maly dont have a scooby ,although they no mugs and it would be a massive own goal if it turns out they have been withholding info from an international search Will be a perfectly good reason for the confusion ,its just not been properly explained yet  plane is either disintigrated mid air (crash) where it was last seen or it has changed direction and altitude very quickly and flown out of the region unoticed by everyone ,perhaps at low alt ,could be sinister or could be a ghost flight . |

By:
still left with either they have missed it in the search area or it's flown off untracked and crashed elsewhere
not impossible that it's on a mountainside in malaysia, all this stuff about searching at sea the jal 747 flight that eventually flew into a mountain after the bulkhead fail / decompression caused loss of hydraulic etc, not impossible this ones had something that has taken out power, hydraulics, electrics or a combination, they may have been left with a glider and tried to limp back |
|
By:
yea but its got a lot of fuel and you would expect a fire if it struck land ,but not impossible it has came in very low and slow and got in under high jungle canopy and not burned and is not easily seen from the air .Whatever has happened it does not look good for the passengers and crew .
Strange that the water beacons have not been picked up if it had ditched/crashed at sea ...starting to wonder if it is some sort of sophisticated hijack/kidnap ? who would try that though ? mind you some desperate punters around these days ...thing is pilot would have squawked h/jack ...although in that neck of the woods it would prob mean being shot out the sky .... |

I think most airplane crashes are the result of a unique sequence of events not seen before. I'd imagine if someone ever gets to the bottom of this there will be as many as 4 or 5 contributing factors. No crash the result of one malfunction as all aircraft designed in such a way that it can deal with one failure. Typically human error plays a part too, be that maintenance on the ground or in the aircraft itself. The investigation is all about breaking the sequence to ensure it never happens again.
Saying all that the whole thing is very puzzling. If there was some king of unexpected and catastrophic explosion on board then the plane should not have deviated too far from it's intended route. It obviously has as it can't be found. If it did deviate from it's route, then why is radar or whatever other tracking technology that exists unaware of it's final movements? And lastly why is it taking so long to find the thing? The longer the search goes on, the more inclined I am to think the plane flew miles away from it should have been. Based on total fuel available, wonder how far it could have got in all directions? Could it turn up in Somalia for example? |

By:
somewhere in the indian ocean most likely if ran out of fuel after turning back west

By:
I've been all over this for days, a superb story, it has everything - so many possibilities that whatever your mood , theres a solution just for you. All the way up to UFO's. I favour the decompression and everyone passes out theoy. like the Helios flight where the same thing happened.

this is a new one for us, we can now find the plane on the betfair forum. ...
. http://www.tomnod.com/nod/challenge/malaysiaairsar2014/map/22001 they've taken sat images of the area (new) and you can tag anything you think is odd and have their experts look in detail you may have to play with the link or reboot but it should allow you to view the images |

No one's mentioned a worm-hole opening up yet,like in Sliders or Stargate. The plane could have landed in another dimension or on a planet in a distant galaxy.
