Malaysian government is not clever enough to cover anything up - epic cock-ups are more their thing.

Aside from having to traverse multiple foreign airspaces - would there have been enough fuel to make it to one of the "*stans"? Could the aircraft be safely down in a desert somewhere miles from no-where - Surely though there are systems in place to locate hijacked aircraft in such circumstances.

Thought that's what black boxes were for?

Speaking of which, aren't these black boxes supposedly trackable in these sort of events?

Agreed, but if it was aliens i think other governments like the US would get involved pretty sharpish :) Of course I don't really think for 1 second that it is aliens, but this is passing the day.

Was there any big shot travelling in that aircraft? Any international rivalries, ransom case, or another terrorist act? Just trying to work out why someone would want to hijack that plane.

I really do hope they find its whereabouts, what happened to it etc. soon. One can only imagine the pain of the passengers' relatives. :(

Search area moved to around 500 miles west of first search area and last know position..... very odd.

About 1 hours flight time - so lots of time to get out pan / mayday or change transponder number as a min.

Also well off planned course by about 200 degrees! Aircraft would not have flown there even on its own - it would have carried on to its next waypoint which was on a rough north bearing - where as the aircraft now seems to have flown south west... :confused:

Gets stranger and stranger.

Relatives are apparently pleading with authorities to track mobile signals as passenger cell phones are still ringing when called. Very strange.

Link? Source?

Had enough fuel for c.9 hours flight remaining after contact lost.
Enough to get it as far as Oz in the east or Pakistan in the west - or anywhere between.

same one that keeps reporting micheal schumachers condition id say.

Of course its the Daily Fail so take with pinch of salt! But still....

Have they checked inside Clarkson's ego, it is big enough and he has been in the area recently

How reliable is this? Radar playback from flight radar24.



I am sure that they know what has happened, they just aren't telling anyone yet!

Media blackout.... I bet it's landed on terrafirma and is either being held by captors or something along those lines.


2 Iranians with stolen passports on board a missing plane is not just a coincidence....

Or it's going to end up on on that programme on the Discovery channel: Airplane Repo... :D

Maybe it's another case of Stolen aeroplanes.

Sorry shoud have stipulated a reliable source ;)

Hmmmm, if this is true then I am starting to come round to they know more than they are telling us!

I just heard on sky new that the transponder can be turned off manually by the cabin crew which I find shocking and also strengthens the theorie than the plane is hi jacked.

Pilot suicide a possibility, a la EA990 ?


These poor families need some closure.

Isn't it possible now to use satellites to map/photograph an area sea accuracy down to metres??

We'll be going to war somewhere for some ££££ as a result of this, just let the ????? Finish off their plan

there now saying the plane was miles off course when last spotted and also the pilot was abit of a tool letting girls sit in the cockpit on flights etc

Ever get the feeling you're being bullsh1tted? :confused:

the old "come on sit on my lap" routine

"just grip that joystick a little harder would you sweetie"

mmmm, the plot thickens

Efa :norty:

Hodgy and zippy, that could be the reason why that room is called a cockpit instead of sandpit, aeroplane driving pit or even Brad Pit, innit.

And why blonde air hostess' have black boxes...

yes could be right i just read it here
http://news.sky.com/story/1224215/ma...ssing-co-pilot

actually on a serious note (and thank you Zip - very good, i did see the i in plot - but somehow missed the "thickens" bit - v good)

this has tought us all two things

1.It is the fact that that the world is actually a bigger place that one assumes (with the internet and ubiquitous communications etc etc it seems that everything has condensed)

But in reality vast tracts of the world’s oceans have never been set upon by human eyes

2. The farce we go through in terms of airport security is simply ignored outside of Europe America and Israel
