Missing 777

[jmurray01]

Read today where the pilots wife and kids moved out the day before "the" flight.

Moved out as in moved away from the area in which they were living? That is interesting. Suppose the pilot was part of the plot and he was in an agreement to fly the plane somewhere then leave it, fleeing with his family and some money perhaps?

I am just throwing ideas around, pure speculation, but who knows - could be true.

I will be keeping my eyes peeled on the news, that's for sure.

Maybe pilot was distraught because wife moved out and left him the day before?

****** is claiming that Iran is behind this and that they have increased air security and the range they are requiring aircraft to identify themselves coming into their airspace.

Australia is claiming that the plane was flying at 5,000 feet to avoid radar detection. Which brings me back to why nobody noticed it. Who thinks twice about a plane flying overhead almost a mile up in the sky? Especially when it's very early in the morning and dark outside?

The longer nobody finds anything in the ocean, the more likely it becomes that the plane landed somewhere.

Must be the ex cop in me. But I just heard this.. The plane went to 45K feet, then went down to 24k feet. I speculate the best way to kill off the passengers would be to climb to that altitude and DE-pressurize the cabin, they would be dead in less than 10 minutes.

And dont tell me this info is new to them, they knew all this when it occured, they are leaking it slowley for some reason???

Exactly. What was it, 5 days of searching for wreckage and then the scoop (or leak) about the manufacturers engine tracking (ooops, we forgot about that), then the denials and contradictions (no we can't do that), as they tried to get their stories straight and the jig was up on the crash scenario. "Oh, by the way, we can track the engines and they pinged for hours after it went missing", Huh, how 'bout that. Why didn't anybody think of that before?" (Yeah right!!)
Has anybody explained this gap of looking for a crash east of Malaysia, then knowing it flew west?
If you think they didn't know about that as they were spinning the crash search scenario, I got a bridge to sell you.)

i agree. why go silent and then fly 4-6 hours before crashing?

Anything is possible, but why go through the trouble of turning everything off that records what's happening and that tracks their location if you are going to crash it into the ocean?

Here is a map of runways big enough to land the 777

I never thought about the possibility that the goal was to steal something being carried on the plane. Wonder if that's the real reason the Chinese are so upset?

Has anyone checked to see if any of the postulated flight paths intersect with any known pallet formations?

Additional speculation about how the missing 777 could have avoided radar detection and landed north of India and Afghanistan: Keith Ledgerwood.

that sounds very reasonable. ( not being knowledgable about the systems or flying)

this type of Scenario was used in fiction about forty years ago.

The home flight simulator may have aided in preparing routes through the various mountain regions and their valleys. I was able to watch one such simulation on the flight simulator approach to An airport in Tibet.

Supposedly there are some Chinese technical people aboard??

 

[Soundguy]

anyof them nuke scientists?
