Malaysia Airlines Flight 370

[blueNDgold44]

This is true. Coupled with the phone call/instant messenger thing it seems very weird.

Also, in movies and stuff, they always have this kind of conspiracy shit happen. It's always to take out some important guy or steal some important thing on the plane. I think it's entirely possible that there was some sort of hijacking and then... who knows.

Or aliens.

Obviously I hope everyone is safe and ok. But this would be awesome haha.

Thunderball.

Yep, Largo, or Blofeld in You Only Live Twice but both SPECTRE.

Just throwing shit on the wall here...

I'm of the opinion that there was no explosion and the plane is still out there somewhere under some serious camouflage. So why is it missing?

Is it possible that this story is a complete fabrication by the Malaysian government? Aren't the "relatives" in "quarantine?"

All the passengers are in on it and being paid by a rival airline??

Or even better, Malaysia Airlines did this themselves. There's no such thing as bad publicity...especially if the plane is found safe and sound somewhere. Wait ...this is actually completely plausible...

No such thing as bad publicity? This makes want to avoid this airline at all costs.

I'm leaning towards an alien encounter They are all being anally probed as we speak.

Air France Flight 477 also "disappeared" without any distress calls (ended up crashing in the ocean due to a malfunction). I think there is a 90%+ probability that the plane crashed in a similar vein. The stolen passport issues are interesting, but from what I read many passports are stolen by illegal immigrants in Malaysia and used to enter Western Europe.

I immediately thought of the AIR France accident when i first heard about this. The only differece being, they found pieces of the wreckage fairly quickly if i remember correctly. They found a huge section of the tail of the Air France plane floating in the water. So what make this any different than that situation. If the plane broke up in mid air, why arent we finding pieces of the plane like they did with the Air France plane? Very, very peculuar....

I'm surprised more 9/11 truther nutjobs haven't come out and blamed Bush/ Cheney/ Bilderberg group for this.

Really bizarre story and probably a sad ending.

To be fair, the first two seasons were excellent. I was basically taping my eye lids open to binge on that show. After season 2, every season continued to take a bigger shit than the last, and the show took a nose dive and crashed hard.

To be honest, I am a little worried about all the people that simply think this is a crash and that we will eventually find the wreckage. This is definitely a possibility but have we already forgotten 9/11? There is a reason 6+ countries are looking for this plane. Also, if the plane crashed, it is not very hard to find because the radar will have the last know point before impact/blow-up. I don't think this is a crash at all. Not sure what the intentions are but I think this is a terrorist act. Someone knew how to hide the plane from radar and has landed it somewhere. I hope they are not filling it with explosives at this point.

If it is a terrorist act, nobody would take credit for this yet because the act is not finished. Not sure that they would take credit for this type of move anyway. I am sure they would want to pull this off again.

It is interesting that the passengers families have signed a petition for the Malaysian government to tell them the truth...Someone knows something. Probably saving face.

P.S. Could be a move by a well known author....sounds like a good book. Where's J.J. Abrams?

Just to put this in perspective, debris from the Air France flight 447 crash from a few years ago off the coast of Brazil wasn't found until 5 days after it went down. The main part of the wreckage and most of the human remains weren't found until 2 years after. The point is, it's probably a little too early to accurately speculate.

This one is on Liz.


Seriously. If with a plane that large, and an ignited two stage explosive device, the primary rupturing the fuel tank, the secondary igniting the wreckage and fuel saturated air, it could have produced an explosion powerful enough to nearly disintegrate the plane and passengers. Here is an example of a 2,000 lb equivalent (1/18th the potential of this 777) :

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/GmRASCHJe2Q" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

If from the initial explosion, most of the wreckage fell back into the fuel mist just prior to or at ignition, very small pieces could have been all that remained.

This explosion even could have been what looked like a turning motion of the plane at the end witnessed by the ground radar.

Disbursement at 35,000 feet, (or almost 7 miles) with winds on the straight what they are, could have left the wreckage pattern over an area half the size of Pennsylvania. Since it is water, that would make finding anything at all highly unlikely. No slick would be found because all of the petrol would have ignited or been widely enough disbursed not to show. Big flat pieces would have sailed the furthest. Solid, heavy objects would have sunk immediately.

As far as phones and other devices that appear logged in when they are not, every tech has seen that.

The plane is clearly in the hands of the government officials. The same officials that said a 757 crashed into the Pentagon where the evidence shows it did not. Truthers unite!!!

They could have shut off radio transmissions and tracking, then flown the plane way off course. If they were taking the plane down anyways I don't know why they would do this. However, one would think if it was a terrorist attack that someone would have taken credit for it by now.

You can't shut off a radar return, on a 777. The radar tapes would have shown any off course deviation, or any descent below radar coverage.

 

[irishfan]

The phone stuff is fishy as all hell. Technology doesn't lie. I mean if I smash my phone or throw it in the water for a few minutes, its not going to ring when someone calls it.

 

[IrishLion]

Interpol 'inclined' to say Malaysia Airlines disappearance not terror - CNN.com

Interpol says everything they've found leads them to believe that the two guys using stolen passports weren't terrorists, and so they don't believe the disappearance is a terrorist act.

But they never explain why these guys were using stolen passports, as they had used their own to enter Malaysia in the first place.

Exactly. And it's not just one guy, it's literally dozens of family members saying they called and the phones rang. And the instant messenger thing is equally bizarre... sure, you could be logged on at another terminal, but what about the guy who had two policemen witness his family member online? And then it randomly signs off thereafter? Unless someone went and logged him out of that second terminal, there's no other explanation than that he was logged on from his primary device and then it was later disconnected.

It's just very, very weird. I'm not a conspiracy theory person at all, but this is one strange series of events and really stinks.

Or it's aliens.

Told you.

 

[koonja]

Told you.

What I haven't seen reported, and what I'd do if I were a family member calling, what happened after the phone stopped ringing? I would keep calling... When I kept calling, did it go straight to voicemail and the 'ringing' was a one-time thing? Or did it continue to ring everytime I called?

Why's this not questioned in the articles?

 

[notredomer23]

I saw this conspiracy theory on rivals that I thought was interesting. Not my thoughts, though:

I think it's pretty obvious whats happening. Some type of terrorist group has secured a nuke from some bum country like Pakistan and they plan on detonating it in some major city. They're going to act like they will let the passengers go once they've landed in the spot of their choice then....boom. The plane disappeared for a few days while they get the nuke on board the plane at some jungle spot in Vietnam. It will reappear in a few days and all this will transpire. Excuse me while I go make some foil shoes to go with the rest of my outfit.

and then a response to it

Not sure if you are being sarcastic, but I actually said this same thing to my wife earlier. The difference is, in my scenario it is the North Koreans. They have the weapon...what they need is a delivery system. Do people really not believe the Iranians and North Koreans are capable of concocting stuff like this?

All they have to do is get the plane to Hawaii, and it'll make what Japan did at Pearl Harbor look like childs play.

In fact, they don't even have to land...an air burst will do just fine.

To get there, they could release the plane, pilots and crew, and give them instructions to fly to Hawaii seeking asylum/defection the whole way. They could keep the passengers as leverage. The crew wouldn't have any idea there is a nuke on board.

When the Navy scrambles fighters to intercept, they wouldn't be able to detect a nuclear signature...and Obama would have to make an executive decision. Shoot it down or let it land.

And then what? If North Korea did this successfully and claimed responsibility, what exactly would Obama do? Attack North Korea? To what end? All those civilians are interlaced throughout the entire country. There is no separation between their industrial military complex and the people who are victims of a communist regime. Seems like an easy decision, but is it? What if North Korea and Iran both claimed responsibility?

If we didn't react, then Russia and China would be licking their chops...finally seeing the US as the paper tiger it has become.

Anyway, they'll probably find the plane/debris in within the next few days, and this will all be over. But man, the "what if" scenario of a stowawayed nuke is definitely realistic...and scary.

Why's this not questioned in the articles?

There are different rules for different places, carriers, phones, and etc. So it is a little more complex. But anytime you have a network seeking a device, and the device has not sent a signal to change its status, the network puts the caller on hold, while it makes an attempt to find the device. Depending on distances, and equipment that can take several seconds or more. All of that happens while the caller hears rings and the phone is receiving none. The goal is that the phone will be contacted, and the call rings through to the phone. In this case, all that the caller gets is the holding ring.

Everything here has a simple explanation.

Particularly some reports that the radar controllers see the plane turning.
