I am not sure if your response is agreeing with me OR are you asking for an explanation
Sorry no I'm not asking for an explanation just guessing maybe it was a test run to see if it could be done, sorry :-)
Agreeing on the dry run theory :-)edit on 20-3-2014 by civpop because: (no reason given)

thetruth2014Yes maybe I should put 9/11 on that "joke forum" too because after all that was just a movie

it really should be 11/9 not 9/11
never understood why you yanks write your dates around the wrong way
A theory holding that a fire brought down the missing Malaysia Airlines flight was gaining traction on the Internet Tuesday — but there's simply no evidence of an in-flight blaze, an aviation expert told NBC News.
"I've seen those remarks. I've seen the articles. If there was an electrical fire on board, there still has to be a source. And you can't take out the entire electrical system all in one fell swoop without really catastrophically compromising the structure of the airplane," said Greg Feith, a former National Transportation Safety Board crash investigator and NBC News analyst.

Please dont take me wrong on with what Im about to say, but this has been nagging at me the last couple days.
There were only a few Americans on that plane. We basically know the number of Pax from other countries, China probably having the most. Two things I am wondering about here.
1. I have heard it mentioned from other members from other countries that their countries arent really following this or giving it as much airtime as America is. At least not the depth of it and 24 hour coverage.
2. I realize other countries are trying to help with the SaR, but it really seems America is going way out their to almost an extreme. All the alphabet companies sticking their fingers into the pie. I do not think our 3 or 4 Americans are anymore important then the rest of the pax. The money this is costing us to do this? I know we like to pretend to be the good guys, but we all know that is sort of a joke these days. I just dont understand the extremes we are going too for this length of time.
I cant think at this point it is really still a rescue mission. I also cant help but thinks this is way more about the plane and it always has been. There was something on it and it wasnt fruit that has them all in a tiz. It is still going strong in the news even if it is redundant to the point you want to scream. I mean really though, how long did Air France stay in the news in your face as a 24 hour coverage? Any plane crash or Hijacking for that matter.
What is wrong with this picture?
Im sorry if Im presenting this a little bit muddled, but hopefully you folks can follow my thought here

And what about the contents of the Maersk Alabama cargo around the time of the deaths? Certainly that could provide a missing piece to this puzzle. It’s also important to note that military operators have been overseeing the world’s largest opium fields in Afghanistan and their contracts have been approved through the year 2024, yet nobody seems to be able to put an end to the black drug trade that exists throughout the world, a trade which has seen booming exports in heroin ever since US and NATO troops arrived in that country in 2001.

There is big money to be had in the anti-piracy contracting world, and it doesn’t help that multinational corporations play both sides of the fence when it comes to threats made against ships.

And is also conveniently located far from the real areas worth searching, looks like a distraction, especially given that the electrical fire theories have been debunked.

FBI joins the hunt www.usatoday.com...
Forensic analysis of the hard drives of the pilot and the co-pilot. And speculation of the fight simulator too.
Only copies of the hard drives though...which is weird and a pretty significant factor because copies are not as valuable.
Here's a video report: www.msnbc.com...

We had reports that the Malaysian Military radar clocked this flight (meaning, minimally - an unexpected signal) heading across the Malaysian Peninsula into the Strait of Malacca at/about 2:15 a.m. (local time), which was about 2 hours into the flight.
We likewise, have the Thai Military saying their radar spotted the 'odd' flight heading in said direction...
So - if it was not MH-370...then...maybe...there's another plane we should be looking for...and...MH-370 was really hijacked...as a...DECOY.
...
Guess we'll see what story they tell us is...official...soon enough.
I think we may be the subject of a magicians slight-of-hand trick too. While we are concentrating on one aircraft, there is another out there as well. This would explain the confusion and the misinformation because the authorities do not know which is which at this point.
There are too many fishermen and others who have reported low flying aircraft in possibly totally different areas. There are many aspects to this mystery and they all have to have explanations which fit the facts and radar returns.
In the passenger compartments the O2 lasts 10 minutes for the passengers generated by chemicals not from a pressurised bottle and is delivered in 3 sections, not all from the same chemical source and the cabin crew's O2 bottles last a couple of hours I believe I read.
from pprune forum
Being familiar with the type, at the 230-240 tons that the aircraft weighed one hour into flight the performance limited altitude would have been between 38,000 and 39,000 ft, increasing about 10,000 ft for every 10 tons of fuel burned.
Normal takeoff fuel would have been in the range of 44-47 tons.
To climb significantly above these altitudes is not possible because the engines would not be able to develop the required thrust and the wing would not have been able to generate the required lift, both of which reduce with increased altitude.
To be able to climb to 45,000 ft (which is 2,000 ft above the certified ceiling of this 777) the weight would have to be reduced to approx. 165 tons; in other words the weight of the aircraft, payload and virtually no fuel .
However from one of sy.gunson's post I think
If however the engines are still developing thrust, with enough altitude and provided it had not entered a spin the aircraft would just fly out of the stall and recover to basically stable flight.

Seems like a great way to divert attention away from Diego Garcia...hey guys look over here! (1600miles West of Australia..)
All the ships, airplanes etc do a handbrake turn and start heading the opposite direction :/

I grew up in Canberra and didn't find it boring at all. A magical place. Beautiful parks and gardens, nature reserves, wonderful treasures at the national library, questacon (science activity centre), parliament, national archives, the war memorial (absolutely awesome), gosh the list goes on.
But as for politicians boring me to death... well... I like to watch Parliament Question Time of TV from time to time... heh
