Malaysia Airlines 'loses contact with plane'

[deafault]

^ edi nareport na agad if it did actually land on an airport.

"Even though the ACARS system was disabled on Flight 370, it continued to emit faint hourly pulses that were recorded by a satellite. The last "ping" was sent out at 8:11 a.m. — 7 hours and 31 minutes after the plane took off. That placed the jet somewhere in a huge arc as far north as Kazakhstan in Central Asia or far into the southern Indian Ocean.
While many people believe the plane has crashed, there is a small possibility it may have landed somewhere and be relatively intact. Affendi, the air force general, and Hishammuddin, the defense minister, said it was possible for the plane to "ping" when it was on the ground if its electrical systems were up and running."

they need at least a mile stretch landing area that is well hidden and 200+ passengers papakainin pa nila.

puro hakahaka nalang, wala pa bang legit

[badkuk]

is it possible they fixed up an old abandoned airport, or built one from scratch, upon which they could land the plane?

If it were a hijacking or terrorist act, i think somebody would have owned up to it by now. What's the point in committing terrorism when nobody notices?

my theory is failed hijacking:

- hijackers declared hijacking,
- forced pilots to turn of transponder
- diverted the flight
- pilots/passengers/crew fought back
- plane is damaged, crashes

asan na yung eye in the sky ng US

[_Qwerty_]

oo nga di ba pwede i rewind yung satellite feed? kagaya nung ginawa sa Enemy of the State..

They don't like to admit that they have such technology.

Mainit pa internet spying case nila sa mismong allies nila sa EU eh. hehe

tawag ulit sila ng moboh. baka mahulaan na kung nasaan na sila.

How did the investigators deduce the general area using satellite pings?

Based on the hourly connections with the plane, described by a U.S. official as a "handshake," the satellite knows at what angle to tilt its antenna to be ready to receive a message from the plane should one be sent. Using that antenna angle, along with radar data, investigators have been able to draw two vast arcs, or "corridors" — a northern one from northern Thailand through to the border of the Central Asian countries Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan, and a southern one from Indonesia to the southern Indian Ocean. The plane is believed to be somewhere along those arcs.

Air crash investigators have never used this kind of satellite data before to try to find a missing plane, but after pursing other leads it's the best clue left.

"The people that are doing this are thinking outside the box. They're using something that wasn't designed to be used this way, and it seems to be working," said William Waldock, who teaches accident investigation at the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Arizona. "In terms of search and rescue, they're probably going to have rewrite the book after this."

If we don't hear anything from the hijackers within the week, mh370 might suffer the same fate as egypt air.

true. when terrorists do it they claim their "handiwork"

baka may high value (J.Ryan inspired term) target sa passengers? for all we know they are communicating in private to the persons/institutions involved.

at least hindi aliens

Hmm...wasn't one passenger using the fake passport an Iranian asylum seeker? Conspiracy theory senses tingling...

[niky]

The crash theory is problematic, whatever you believe, because we (think we) know that the phones were active days after the disappearance. Which means that the plane must have grounded somewhere over land, instead of ending up as a fireball or ending up in a watery grave.

Malaysian airplane investigators look at suicide as possible motive

ito rin hunch ko. pero ano kaya motive ng pilot or co-pilot? sa egypt air ang babaw ng dahilan ng frist officer nung nag suicide....

[falken]

If the plane was indeed hijacked and they were able to land it without anybody noticing. Then maybe the hijackers are saving the plane for future terrorist attacks like 9/11. Anyway, that's my crazy theory from watching too much spy movies.:-D

and they have to feed those 239 passengers? ang hirap nun sir na hangan ngayon wala pa rin demands if indeed the plane landed.

They need the plane, not the passengers. Keeping the passengers alive is not part of their plans.

Until that plane is found, the "9-11" hunch is still in play.

Then again, i doubt if they can do a sneak attack with that plane on US soil...not unless they retrofit it with cloaking technology? But if their target is not the US...
