1: if on land they are probably somewhere remote... I'm no authority on cell phone reception throughout Asia, but there have to be areas with limited reception. 2: we are at 11 days out, my cell phone would be dead from roaming and waiting for a signal. |
It is now been confirmed that the final words were from the copilot. Run with that. |
What did he say? |
It was the "alright, goodnight" signoff. Completely uneventful and not unusual in the slightest, UNLESS the transponder and other equipment were turned off prior to that bit of radio communication. From what I understand today, the information is changing, and the timeline of what was turned off, and when, has been somewhat retracted. |

Thanks. I wasn't going to go searching. |
How is this the simplest explanation when evidence shows no debris and indicated hours of pinging after disappearance? Plus we know a person intentionally turned off communications systems. Given those things I think the simplest explanation is someone stole the plane - which does NOT necessarily suggest that it is in the ocean. |
That would be the Occams razor assumption -- someone, probably the pilot (leaving out assuming someone else could fly the plane) continued to fly the plane. Also, if assuming the pilot, could also land the plane. Fewest assumptions. |
This is why I strongly believe they should allow passengers to use cellphones on air and have cellphone service. In 2014, it is unconceivable that we are still cut of from civilization once we enter a plane. If we were allowed this, at least in case of a hijack or emergency, some people will call their loved ones or 911 AND we will know what is going on. Halas, we are left wondering what could be and what did happen, and everything at this point is PURE SPECULATION. We do not have proof of anything or any empirical evidence that justifies a hijacking, mechanical failure, suicide or otherwise. We are left with our questions….. |
agree with 11:34 although think either pilot or co-pilot.
The assumptions are equal--pilot overtakes co-pilot, or co-pilot overtakes pilot. |
Bigger than Amelia Earhart? |
Do you think they didn't call loved ones during a hijacking because it wasn't allowed??? |
Peter King's theory doesn't make sense. Why go through all of the flying maneuvers he/they went through in order to simply land in the ocean to commit suicide? No, given what's being reported about eyewitnesses who observed the plane's flying maneuvers as it went low and off-course, the intent seems to have been to preserve the airplane.
God willing, the passengers are still alive and reasonably well, wherever they are. |
Uhm no, but if phones were allowed, you'd at least have a chance that someone MIGHT call or text someone to alert them. Without Phone service, passengers are left at the mercy of whatever is going on there and might die with their secrets. |
