Missing Airliner

[Clyde]

Ha. How on earth ?

What of the people on board ?

Seems far fetched , no ?

Absolutely but that's the talk amongst pilots, she said no way could that plane go missing it's a cover up. Now I don't believe it but there is no real evidence of what the hell happened, plus there's no way in the world that a pilot can't peas a red button.

Just watched the Malaysian's Prime Minister's statement on BBC.

They've concluded that the flight communications were swtiched off deliberately but are not speculating about why this might have happened.

They also changed their area of search completely, based on satellite communications with the plane. From what I've seen - one of the areas that will now be searched appears to be in Northern Asia over land!

Hey there Morphious buddy, I watched it too there are alarms all over the plane and the sonar can still pick up the plane .

Radio codes and buttons. Difficult to believe as you say that some communication was not received.
It is now believed the "hijack" was an inside job.
There are two obvious air corridors. One northerly is covered in places by various military radars including NATO. One southerly mostly open sea and a few islands.
But even where there is radar cover the various militaries have been unforthcoming. It is suspected that is a typical military instinctive response and also because they are unwilling to disclose exactly what assets they have.

Plane had enough fuel to travel for eight hours when contact was lost. If he went south and crashed, very long and difficult job to find it.

Lots of speculations. .. My sympathy lies with the families of the passangers and obviously those onboard, aircrew etc. What a catastrophe.

I can see a new take on an old phrase. was once "like trying to find a needle in a haystack" will now become "..........a boeing 777 in the south china seas"

That plane didn't crash,no way a piece of aircraft or luggage or bodies would not have been spotted by now...hijacked....

One of the news crews was in a search aircraft. There was a crew of 4/5 with binoculars searching , very difficult to see anything and a huge area to cover. Not only that , but has been said already, they where probably looking in the wrong area. So it is no real suprise that nothing has been found yet.

Two possibilities.

1. It's the prequel to Lost.

2. The North Koreans have it.

[Cassandra]

Obviously ... Aliens.

Starting to look like a James Bond plot complete with SMERSH and all.

Latest "wild" rumour is that he plane "could" have been on the ground when latest of the satellite pings was received.

This would be good news for the relatives but still a very long chance..........
