Malaysia Airlines Flight Goes Missing En Route to China

Still makes no sense why someone would do that. If you are suicidal and want to take out a couple hundred people, I don't understand why you wouldn't fly it into a crowded space.

So is it a lone suicidal psycho or was there a larger reason why someone would want the people on that flight dead?


Wouldn't the theory of fire in cockpit, pilots knocked out, plane flies on by itself until runs out of fuel also a possibility in line with the new findings (if it is the plane)?

Nothing found today. Will have to wait until tomorrow.

If this is the plane, I now think that the pilot will be revealed to be a hero who diverted the plane from landing on a city (or something)

I have asked this before and no one has responded. If it was a fire, how did the plane continue to fly for so many hours?

Wait, what? Why didn't the hero use some point in the 7 hours to radio for mayday and try to save everyone instead of crashing into the ocean?

I wonder why the US has not beefed up it defensives?


How do you know they haven't? I would hope they did this last week on the DL.

As mentioned up thread, its not an issue of seeing an unknown jet approaching US airspace, it is a question of having the pieces in place to react in a meaningful way when it is spotted. I would hope what ever post 9/11 steps were put in place have been amplified considering there is an aircraft missing.

God you are a moron.



Why?


I don't think you are a moron. I think you raise a good point. People think that ATC is omniscient or something. I definitely think that a commercial airliner could come through in a crowd, imitating a typical signal.

LOL

Glad the Soviets never thought about doing that, could you image what they could have done with 10 planes sneaking in to the country with multiple nuclear weapons or bio weapons? Scary! I guess there is just no defense against that type of attack.


Are you really mocking the events of 9/11?

Hint, they are mocking you. You are very entertaining.

Maybe someone had a gun to his head and he just took the plane out to open sea, saying he was going to (the hijackers' target) until the plane ran out of fuel. That way he sacrificed himself and the passengers but didn't allow the plane to be used as a weapon. And he wouldn't be able to radio out all during that time.

That report says there's a news conference at 2:30 Oslo time. At first I thought "oh, that means this is it" but now I'm not sure; couldn't it be just to say, "oh, we've found something," or "this isn't it" ?

What if someone who knows about aviation and mayday was standing in the cockpit and told the pilot not to make a distress call or signal. Maybe someone was standing right there when the copilot said alright goodnight n had a gun or something else on his head and that's why he didn't say mayday

I don't know -- just a feeling that I have.

Yeah, I think I need a support group. DH thinks I've lost my mind.


Me too. I am completely obsessed. I don't think we are alone. look at how many times this thread has been checked. It couldn't all be from us.


Yes, we need a support group. I am completely obsessed, I feel like my life is on hold until this plane is found


+1. I wake up every morning and check my phone in bed for any breaking news that might have occurred during the night. Mostly I just check this thread since I know you all will keep me updated


Lol, I wake up at 2:00AM every day to check can on my phone to see i they have news, and if they don't , i go back to sleep


Thank you! I now feel more sane, in a relative way.

I still think it was the pilot taking one last suicidal joyride to the end of the world. If it were, say, Somali pirates hijacking the plane to Somalia, would they really care if the ACARS was on or off?
