Malaysia Airlines Flight Goes Missing En Route to China

[Anonymous]

The Malaysian radar does not have the ability to determine altitude, only distance. Therefore, the increase and decrease in altitude reported is meaningless.

It looks like it would depend on whether an individual had their own wifi or if the plane provided wifi.

A blanket statement about cell phones not working on planes doesn't seem to be accurate.

Cell phone do not work on planes. You are a troll.

Did you READ the articles which contradict what you are saying??? There is technology that DOES allow cell phones to work on planes - and according to the article, Malaysia airlines was a client of the firm that provides the service.

fire in plane

MAYDAY MAYDAY FIRE IN PLANE

program to nearest acceptable airport

pull the busses and lose systems (communication, transponders)

Plane now heading in new direction

overcome by smoke

plane flies on until it runs out of fuel

This sounds very plausible in most ways, except for the continued pinging of the engines for another 8 hours.

Not plausible. If they had time to reprogram the plane they would have sent out a distress call or contact ATC

Also, did he fly up to 45,000 asphyxiate the passengers and crew? If so, very morbid to then be flying around on your final flight with a plane full of deceased passengers behind you. And what about the co-pilot? First kill him, then depressurize the cabin (but not the cockpit), then ride around with all those bodies? Extremely morbid and homicidal.

Did you read the article? It says you may choose to fly up to 45000 feet for two reasons: 1 - because oxygen levels are low and that de-fuels the fire and 2 - to dive back down in an attempt to manually extinguish the flames.

I know this isn't the sexiest theory because it has nothing to do with malice or terrorism, but it makes a lot of sense.

This makes the most sense out of anything I've read.

I think the Wired article seems most plausible. The only thing that I wonder about is the route programming. If that was done some time before they lost communication, it means the pilot turned off the communication devices.

Seriously just shut the fuck up about the cell phones. An inflight connection to wifi over water is broadcast to a satellite. It is a two way communication. What does that mean? It means there would be continuing communications with the plane and they would know where the plane was when it crashed. It also means that when the communication system was turned off/disabled/burned up, the wifi would be turn off/lose connection and stop broadcasting. Please please please learn how a cell phone works. It is not magic.

What if the pilot announced that they were taking a short detour but would arrive on time. Passengers wouldn't suspect the need to call for help until after the expected landing time passed. By then where was the plane?

Now if the passengers were in on this as some elaborate government secret related flight, no one would mention anything.

Good lord. This thread has turned into a masturbatory orgy of conspiracy theorists and people testing screenplay/book ideas.

Ansd I read every freaking page of it. It's like a train wreck in slow motion. Can't. Stop. Looking.

Thailand now says they didn't mention seeing the plane on radar because they were not directly asked about it...Really?!

Mark my word. The pilots are "players" - they depressurized the cabin, killed the passengers and sold the plane for parts. They will get hundreds of millions of dollars, and the parts won't show up until they have to be replaced.

Cool screenplay you got there bro.

NOW YOU BELIEVE ME??!! If you are not educated regarding the topic STFU. We don't care about you.
