Malaysian airlines 777 missing

[Blinder]

Well Malaysia is finally admitting it. I wonder if their government has a hand in this plot.

I think it is plausible Blinder, also the same scenario with the intent to ransom valuable passengers.

A precedent was set on 911 when the passengers of flight 93 sacrificed them selves to save the lives of thousands. More than likley that's what happened.

Or aliens.

Just a thought, but out of all the passengers on this flight don't you think there was maybe a couple business men or women that had laptops reporting in to work, or family members that had there cell phones letting family no when they would be getting on the ground, I am sure there are so many other ways to find information about the passengers contacts or communications then any one is being told, you just do not lose a plane of this size and this many passengers with out a trace of some sort. Who are the passengers, their family and were did they work and for who did they work for. To much is being kept from public.

I tend to have to agree with this statement, seems strange that the plane just fell off the face of the earth and the government over there is just now telling the public bits and pieces of the story.  they know more than what they are saying

Having worked around the world a lot, I've learned first-hand in reality things are not like in the movies. They probably just don't know yet but have some ideas. Grand conspiracies and machiavellian schemes are good for fiction but none have the competence of actually pulling something like this off. Hopefully we can find the wreckage soon and eventually the black box.

Because Zoney didn't say anything about Sully and the Hudson, he said Skully and Potomac.

 Yeah thanx  I got it the 1st time.

Stole it

It's on the bottom of the sea somewhere, but not knowing for sure, and all this public speculation must be hell on Earth for the victims' families.

[Rich46yo]

Flying a laden airliner into a skyscraper seems excessive, no?

How could you possibly top that on the terrormeter?

Again to be clear... I hope I'm very, very wrong.

What I meant was there are far easier ways to deliver such a bomb. Add to that the fact the fuel on the plane burning up would probably limit the spread of the dangerous material.

[TOMCAT21]

The two passengers with the passports may or may not be involved, I do believe that the Malaysian government doesnt really have a clue as to what is going on. I can only imagine what the families are going through.

Was it repo'd?

[DaveBB]

Something happened to one of its engines.  An oil rig worker saw flames come out of one of the engines for 10-15 seconds.  Do jet engines produce visible flames when they flame out?  What would have caused this?  Is it possible for the flight crew to destroy an engine or engines if they knew they were being hijacked?

[GScholz]

I don't think it's an act of terror. At least not by an organization. It's a single individual with intimate knowledge of the plane who is able to shut down several communication systems and pilot the aircraft for several hours. My guess is one of the flight crew; if that person incapacitated the rest of the flight crew or lured them out of the cockpit, the new hardened cockpit doors would make it almost impossible for the rest of the crew or passengers to gain access to the cockpit.

yes it is a conspiracy    see this thread

Even one of the flight crew can't switch off a transponder.
