Thoughts about the missing aircraft - MH370
In case some of you are outdated with news, it's been 6 days since the aircraft, MH370 went missing. I just wanted to know everyone's thoughts and opinions on this. Personally, I think the plane might have crashed into the ocean, into a dark abyss that's why evidence of it still hasn't been found. What do you guys think?

*On the side note, I sincerely hope that the passengers are safe and sound.
Some people have been going on about an alien abduction, hehe.

Anyway, to me I think it was a terrorist attack, as 2 people were using stolen passports (something like that) and the plane just disappearing off the radar makes it even more convincing because of a bomb going off.

Any thoughts about this?
nope.

Isn't the sea in that area pretty shallow?

Why did they book transferring flights then? Beijing was just one leg of the journey for both of those guys right?

Well, without going to dar into details, most, if not everything, speaks against this theory. They were simply trying to travel to europe is the simple summary.

ontopic: Without going into any tin-foil-hat theories it seems likely that something malfunctioned with the nav. systems, and thus autopilot kicked out and manual flight mode were engaged, and the pilots made the decision that turning back were the best alternative. However, if the compass kicked ut of function it could explain why they navigated backwards the way they did, or as radars have picked up. They flew low to avoid other aircrafts, as noted by eye-witnesses, however something must have gone awfully wrong, perhaps due to lack of judgement as a side-effect of breathing too pure oxygen for a while, as the plane is yet to be located.

The most sound theory as of now, if you ask me, is that they flew off* path whilst at sea failing to navigate back to land whilst not risking gaining altitude due some kind of damage to the craft, resulting in the pilots taking a route west having missed that they had already covered distance into the indian ocean, hoping to reach land they had already passed by. And out of fuel they can/could have gone down anywhere in the midst of that huge chuck of water.

EDIT: As of now, midday the 14th of march, with the new sources on when communication were cut, it seems likely that the plane were hijacked, as the correlation between the timings on the loss of channels of communication falls within the boundaries of what time it would take to manually override them.

I agree with smog's second point because didn't the news say they only had about 2-3 hours worth of fuel (this was said about 12 hours ago). So they could have landed in the ocean or have had to pull an emergency landing to an island near by.

Maybe that area hasn't got a signal to connect to phones so they can't ring anyone? I also hear people are starting to blame China for this but I don't see what reason China had to 'steal' a random aircraft going to Spain.

It would be unexpected for ALL their communication devices to break at the same time. Planes carry multiple satellite communication devices and transponders etc.

When will they release the black box data? That's the question.

I know A LOT about air crashes. Seriously, TONNES. And from my knowledge I can deduce that unfortunately that is extremely unlikely. But you're right about the first part, as from my knowledge I know these kinds of plane crashes tend to end up with the plane submerged/floating in the ocean possibly in pieces.

Here's what's happened.

The plane was hijacked and flown to Iran. (Records say they had enough fuel.) All passengers are being held hostage and they're talking with the U.N. Right now.


They're not feeding the media anything. If they do, all 239 passengers die, (including the 5 children; one of them is only two years old). The media is slowly being fed information as negotiations proceed.

2 people boarded with stolen passports which is a red flag instantly. One being from Iran I believe.

They told pilots at gunpoint "bring us down to 200 feet and turn all communication systems off" thus bringing the plane off radar. That whole ping story is a lie, a rather bad lie at that.

Malaysia is holding information they aren't releasing, which is suspicious and a 777 doesn't go down like that, it's a modern plane and they don't just fall out of the sky or lose all communications and keep flying.

There you have it.

Whenever a plane goes down, experienced air craft investigators look at the general circumstances and mentally draw up a list of the most likely causes — not to leap to conclusions, but to prioritize lines of enquiry and organize competing hypotheses.

As information comes in, it should be possible to eliminate those hypotheses one by one until at last a full understanding of the circumstances remains. The goal is to make sure that the problem will never again bring down an airliner.

This philosophy works: Year by year, fewer commercial airliners are lost to accidents.

The downside is that, as likely sources of aircraft accidents are eliminated, what’s left behind are increasingly arcane and bizarre, once-in-a-million combinations of bad luck, incompetence, and malice. And the longer we go without any significant clues regarding Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, the more likely that its true cause will fall into that category.

For instance? Some airline pilots have begun to speculate that one of the flight crew might have intentionally caused the plane to disappear and flown off with it to an undisclosed location. This line of speculation, outlandish as it may sound, was only bolstered when it was reported Wednesday that investigators were actively pursuing the possibility that the plane had been diverted "with the intention of using it later for another purpose.”

777 mystery
it was a rolys roys engine on the plane so they have transmitters on the engine that transmit to darby UK and these transmitters send co_ordinates as long as the engine is running so they need to check with royls Royce for the last tranmission

there for showing where the plane landed
