malaysia airforce said it was going in the opposite direction towards a small island...100 miles off course in opposite direction

Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 was hundreds of miles off course, traveling in the opposite direction from its original destination and had stopped sending identifying transponder codes before it disappeared, a senior Malaysian Air Force official told CNN Tuesday.

If correct, these are ominous signs that increasingly call into question whether someone in the cockpit might have deliberately steered the plane away from its intended destination, a former U.S. aviation investigator said.

Maybe they will be able to find it now.

That is not a photoshop job, that is a framing error.

MH370 - what happened
A plausible explanation for why MH370 "disappeared" and why we still can't find it.
MARCH 10, 2014
My recommendation to the NTSB
I sent this email to Peter Knudson (Media Relations) at the NTSB, and he will consider if its worthy of forwarding onto investigators.

This is interesting. It would explain a lot. But why did the plane turn back off its course to China? Were the pilots trying to return to the airport and they were overcome by lack of oxygen? I would think on a state-of-the-art plane like a 777 there would be alarms going off and oxygen masks dropping if there was a gradual decompression.

Oh, great, scheduled to fly on a B777 in 2 months.

Airplane travel is still the safest form of transportation, by far. You're much more likely to die in a car on the way to the airport, than some kind of plane accident. Hell, you're probably more likely to be maimed by a malfunctioning escalator like one of many at virtually all airports, than someone actually mid-air on a plane.

Maybe the pilots realized they lost communication and started to turn around and then the gradual decompression occurred and incapacitate everyone on the plane and it just flew on autopilot after that. I certainly hope everyone on the plane was sleeping when this happened if this is a plausible theory...

If the plane lost pressure, it can cause everyone to lose consciousness, but the plane can keep flying for some time and end up way of course. Maybe they were trying to turn it to land somewhere closer and then lost consciousness. Or maybe as they were blacking out they bumped controls or made irrational steering choices.

That's what happened to Payne Stewart's plane--I think it was hundreds of miles off course, just kept flying on with everyone aboard dead until it ran out of fuel and crashed.

me too. I hope they fix that problem with the SATCOM on 777s soon.

the stolen passport duo is reported to be Iranian young adults seeking asylum in Europe where their parents live.

Only three countries use the stolen passport database US, UK and Saudi. So, there are a lot of people traveling on stolen passports every day. There are in fact people traveling on false passports every day. But if the terrorist were going to blow up a plane why not get a real passport and do it? Its not like there is a no fly list in Malaysia. If you are going to blow up the plane while you are on it, who cares if they know who you are.

Not Saudi - United Arab Emirates (UAE).

OK then, an important question is this:

Does that mean if you fly an American carrier (or UK or UAE), they will use the stolen passport database? Or does that mean,

That only in the US (or UK or UAE), regardless of carrier, they use the stolen passport database?

(The definition of "they" differs in the two sentences)
Can someone answer this, please? TIA

They don't work under water ...

What if they aren't underwater - a jungle with dense canopy, a remote island, a secret runway...

I feel badly for not having read more - if this crash involved Americans, I know I'd be following this more closely.

That said, what I have read makes me think more and more that this isn't terrorism. I think shows like 24 and homeland make us think there's something significant about the passport thing when there probably isn't. It's likely just a coincidence. People do shady things all the time. It's possible somebody just happened to be doing something shady with a passport or two when a plane happened to crash.

If it was terrorism, then a group would've claimed responsibility or want to claim "victory" by now.
