Missing 777

One of commenters on CNN's story said (yes, I get all my straight info from internet comments :laughing that with the transponder off, there are large areas around the world where radar tracking is not present. If that is true, then this could be coincidence, or that particular flight could have been targeted knowing it would be easy to drop off radar coverage.

It sounds like the engine to satellite pings don't contain specific location information, but maybe that could be triangulated like GPS, the ping must have a time stamp?

It's interesting to hear everyone's theories. Theories are based on life experiences. Some are optimistic. Some are pessimistic. Some are scientific. Some are science fiction.

With the life experiences I have to utilize, I think evil. Humans are the most evil species on this planet. Humans also can't keep secrets. It's been over a week I believe?? Someone would have leaked information if there is anyone alive that has information. I say it's crashed and all are dead. The reason will be known. Because along with their evil disposition, humans also like to brag.

That's coming at it from a pretty jaded & cynical angle. Sorry to say, I agree with you 100%. Still hope we're both wrong.

For sale newer Boeing 777, recent paint... Should I post this in the classified section ?

So could someone have high jacked the aircraft, killed all passengers and then they
plan to turn it into a flying bomb and fly it into what?

That's too James Bond-ish to be real. I suspect they will find debris before another week goes by.

The passengers would be worth more alive than dead in some sort of terrorism plot. Not much leverage in corpses.

Terror is not ransom motivated. It is playing to fear. That's what makes it so valuable for progressives here in the states as they expand government power.

Latest this morning is that altitude varied between 45,000 ft and 10,000 ft. I guarantee you that I'd be terrified on such a plane if I were awake and aware of such altitude changes via changes in pressure or g forces or :shocked:??...:shocked:

According to a press release published by DigitalGlobe on Monday, volunteers can aid the mission by signing up at the group’s Tomnod platform, where they can begin “combing through satellite imagery for clues that may help locate the missing aircraft.”

And that's why we have the Patriot Act??:confused2:

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.
