Missing Plane

[rebel11]

I feel sorrow for the passengers and families of Flight MH370, it must be totally devastating, I wish for a good outcome, but that is fading fast.

[WarrenBuffet]

Something tells me that the plane was landed somewhere, rather than the worst case scenario?

[rebel11]

The pilot had a simulator in his home, I wonder if it's a case of seeing what he had practiced on the simulator would work, a sudden rush of euphoria and it all got out of hand, the equivalent of joyriding, run out of fuel, can't get back.

Definitely landed. There are emergency beacons onboard that can't be tampered with from within.

I hope it has landed, and I don't think the pilot sounds like a terrorist. If nothing else, terrorists don't tend to be worried about gay rights and he clearly was concerned about the opposition leader who has been sent to jail because of his homosexuality.

 

So sorry for the families and friends of the passengers. I hope they are just being held somewhere and will eventually come home.

Agreed, the plane is the wrong colour anyway.

Would you include "crashed" within "landed"?

Would it make a difference between "crashed in deep ocean" and "crashed on land"?

 

If it crashed in deep water would that explain the lack of emergency beacon signal (so, similar to AF447, where "initial investigation was hampered because the aircraft's black boxes were not recovered from the ocean floor until May 2011, nearly two years later")

 

Alternatively, do you think this was "deliberate, hide in radar signal of other flight, then landing (rather than crashing ) on land"?

Files deleted from plane simulator. Sent away to be retrieved.

I have a funny feeling, that the aircraft will be found today and will overshadow the budget.

 

Unfortunately the chances are that it will be found somewhere in the Indian Ocean. The latest theory is a cockpit fire, where the pilots turned the aircraft back westward to the nearest airport, were overcome with fumes. The aircraft then flew on until it ran out of fuel. It is unlikely that the whole aircraft caught fire, as there would be debris over a large area. The aircraft is likely to have gone into the ocean mostly intact.

[Grotesque]

The co-piolt, of course, was a sleeper; he overcame the pilot at a strategically opportune moment.

It is a mystery for sure - perhaps there is another "Bermuda" Triangle in the Indian Ocean.

[rebel11]

This year another aviation mystery from the late 1930's will be solved.

 

I wonder how many airline pilots have simulators at home? I wonder if it's common?

Which one?

[rebel11]

Amelia Earhart, Gardner Island, they should find the plane.

 

Which one?

[Grotesque]

Ah intersting yeah just seen the artcle cheers

[rebel11]

At the time the US Navy launched the costly search every costing millions of dollars. To be honest their were major failings in the search, they should of found her.

If the plane was flying in a military sensitive areas, it's a concern as to what protocol is in operation for such a situation.

but, seems like maybe they've now found some debris?

Parts of missing plane found I fear.

[unclebulgaria67]

Not at the moment. The satellite pings now seem to indicate the plane crashed in the deep south of the Indian Ocean, with no survivors likely.

[renegadeimp]

Fits in with the theory that an experience pilot mentioned a few days ago.

seems likely to be. unless...?

the debris spotted a few days ago, and since, pretty much confirming a crash in the indian ocean west of aussie. now confirmed by the last 'pings'

[WarrenBuffet]

Now the obvious question, what was the motive if not an accident?
