Missing 777

It just keeps getting more bizarre. Missing jet flew on for 7 hours, Malaysian PM says - The Washington Post

I don't have a clue what happened to the plane or why, but the longer this goes on, the more tidbits of information that comes out, the more it does seem like this is a very well planned, almost movie quality, operation. Seems almost too perfect and thought out, especially now that they are saying it was flying for seven hours after it disappeared!!!!

Now they are looking at either Western Australia or areas around Pakistan. It's obvious that there was a pilot who knows what he is doing operating the plane and that they went to a lot of effort to turn everything off that would track them. I just don't see any other reason for this unless you are planning on landing the plane somewhere.

The national news is reporting that it is now considered a "deliberate act". I would guess that we can no longer ignore the obvious. Smells like
a highjacking to me.

Smells like it to me, too.

Yep, and we know exactly where it is...

Somewhere out there...

May God have mercy on all the souls on board.

Another day, another contradiction. At this point the "news" is nothing but speculation.

Agree!
First it is north or south, later it will be east or west.
Heck I know for absolute sure..... down.

All a plot to increase TV ratings...

This thing gets more bizarre by the day. Malaysia didn't help the situation by delaying for 2 or 3 days international assistance in the search efforts.
Hope I'm wrong but we may not get closure on this for many years.

The Washington Post had a very unique map that shows two possible arcs along which the last none ping was received. One arc is north of, and the other is south of, Malaysia. The article does not say why there are two arcs but I assume it is because the possible positions along the arcs are derived from the time the engine pings took to get to the single satellite. If two satellites had received the ping then we would know the position of the last ping.



Since the northern of the arcs is well over land, somewhere from what looks like one corner of La0s, over China and ending in a bit Kazahkstan and given that the last public radar position is on the west side of Malaysia, it seems unlikely that the plane could have crossed the coast lines of and crossed a county or two without being seen on radar or the Mark I eyeball.

That leaves the southern arc which is in a very remote area of the world and only two countries that would have radar coverage. Australia and Indonesia. It looks like the closest the plane could have gotten to Australia was a bit over 700 miles. Because the Aussie coastline recedes away from the possible last position arc, the plan was mostly likely much farther from Australia than 700 miles. Does Australia have radar coverage in that part of the country that can see out a 1,000 miles? I kinda doubt it.

The most likely location of the plane is on the southern arc south of Indonesia and along the coast of Australia. But much closer to Australia than Indonesia since the northern most part of the southern arc is near Jakarta. Surely Jakarta radar would have picked up the plane at the position and it would have been difficult for the plane to have gotten to that area without being seen if flying at lower altitude.

If it was terrorism per say and the pilot was ticked off at the Chinese governments treatment of Moslims, why not crash the plane in the capital of China? It would have been easy to do since that was the destination of the plane.

The mostly likely answer is that the plane is sitting on the bottom of the Indian ocean after one of the flight crew went bonkers. Just like what happened to the Egyptian plane a few years ago.

Why were there no phone calls / texts/ anything like that from any of the passengers? if the plane had spent all that extra time in the air were all the passengers already out of commission?

The pilot may have killed or knocked out the passengers by flying to higher altitude or depressurized the cabin if that can be done by control. The flight is supposed to have gone over 40,000 feet which seems to be an altitude that would cause problems for the passengers. At some point, the passengers would have figured out they were not on course since so many people have smart phones and they could have tracked the flight and most likely started causing a ruckous. Depending on where this happened, they would not have had cell service. Or the passengers were already out of service because of depressurization or being taken to an altitude over 40,000 feet.

i do not doubt that 'many' govts are holding onto 'classified' data concerning this and not, or only slowly releasing bits of it. Who knows. they whole enchelada may already be 100% figured out and could have been from the get go and they are just trying to figure out how to spin it...
