Update: Malaysian military now reveals that the plane reappeared elsewhere

Who or what was on-board this aircraft to make this worth it, is my thinking at this point? If not an accident (and there are some very solid theories there too), then what would make this something worth the risk for? Air piracy isn't a casual charge in any nation with most, I believe, carrying whatever maximum their system allows.

Perhaps all of the engineers that happened to be on this flight?

Nope...........now they're saying it didn't... Hmmmmm

Interesting video of the flight at loss of contact.


The very fast moving plane was a bit freaky. But it would depend on how this flight software updates itself.

My one issue with the hijacking theory is this - when 911 happened, there were numerous instances where passengers used their own phones to call emergency services, family members, etc. I'd expect the same thing to happen in this case, but we have no reports of any passengers making calls. Unless, of course, the plane was completely out of range the entire time, but I find this doubtful.

I suppose it would depend on the range of the wireless coverage over the sea. But if the plane flew over land, wouldn't the passengers get at least one bar at some point?

This mysterious case appear like the New "Manhattan Project Event"... The Malaccan Project....

Some intersting info regarding the two Iranians
Their activity looks suspicious to me.

What Stolen Passport Passengers Did Before Boarding Plane

NEW YORK) -- A man claiming to be the friend of two Iranians who used fake passports to board the missing Malaysia Airlines flight told ABC News that the men stayed at his home the night before the flight vanished ....

......Mallaeibeasir identified the men as Pouria Nour Mohammadi and Reza Devalar, both around age 18 or 19 and both from Iran

.......... Mallaeibeasir said that when Pouria and Reza were staying at his house, he heard them briefly talking to an "Ali" on the phone.

"The last night when they were in my home they were talking on the phone for a long time. They were talking in Persian, in their room, and I heard them say 'OK Ali' like that in Persian. I didn't understand because it was like, five seconds. I went into the room to take water from my fridge and I came out and they said, 'Be quiet, we're talking,'" Mallaeibeasir said.

The two men traveled lightly, Mallaebeasier said. Pouria had a mountain climbing-type backpack and a laptop, while Reza carried a suitcase and a laptop, he said. After he dropped them at the airport, Mallaebeasier called the men on their cellphones. Pouria answered but hung up quickly, and Mallaebeasier ended up talking to Reza for about three minutes, he said.

If you're a terrorist taking full control of the plane, they might demand each passenger hands over their phone to them first. Or anyone seen using a phone gets shot. Who knows what was happening on that aircraft

Anyways, that's assuming the story of passengers using their phones in 9-11 was even true.

If it was a hijacking and we assume that the plane is now actually somewhere in hiding (a theory which I slowly start to consider)..then it must have been a VERY elaborate hijacking, involving first that all the crucial instruments be turned off and THEN a very sophisticated "escape" somewhere avoiding all the radar stations.

I am not an expert, but someone said that most radars only have a 100-150mls range so this is (in theory) possible.

The location where the plane disappeared makes such a scenario actually likely.

And now we see that they in-fact (and let's admit it!) don't have one single fricking clue about the whereabouts of the plane, so I think the theory that this was a WELL planned hijacking is actually somewhat possible.

The question here is whether the two alleged "suspects" would fit in there pulling something like that off. They really don't "look" like it, they more look like average tourists to me.

For all we know at this point, the plane could have been drifting in and then out and back into a dimensional warp. It is said happened before.

Like a Bermuda Triangle theory?

Highly doubt it...

Why not? It's a possibility, so it should be addressed.

Show me evidence of planes disappearing over that area and maybe I will consider it a theory...*cough*

If you want to look yourself

LONGMONT, Colo. (AP) - A Colorado company says about 600,000 people have scanned its satellite images for clues to the fate of a Malaysia Airlines jetliner that disappeared Saturday. DigitalGlobe is calling it a crowdsourcing campaign to help search crews. The company said Tuesday it plans daily updates of the images on the search website, www.tomnod.com.... Users can tag images on the website if they see wreckage, life rafts, oil slicks or other evidence. Shay Har-Noy, DigitalGlobe's senior director for geospatial big data, says the photos had 10 million page views by Tuesday afternoon.

It seems that Tomnod perhaps has a case of user overload going on:

Something's not quite right...
Tomnod is experiencing technical difficulties. We apologize. We're poking our servers with pointy sticks to figure out what's wrong.

Crud, I was hoping to poke around and hopefully lend a little help in the quest to locate potential satellite images of the plane.

It's not loading for me.
I wanted to look!

Someone isn't talking.

KUALA LUMPUR, March 12 — Tempers flared in Beijing today after Malaysia’s ambassador to China Datuk Iskandar Sarudin declined to share information given authorities concerning the lost Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 carrying 138 Chinese passengers.

After five days of silence, relatives of the passengers aboard the missing jumbo jet finally lost patience after Iskandar refused to disclose what additional details the military had given authorities.

There seems to be a Malaysian Press conference in about 1 hour from now.
I will try to find a live feed.

I took a look around on the site. I found a ship and something resembling a platform. I tagged them. I suppose a life raft would be very small because the ship wasn't that big that I tagged. Well, I mean the ship didn't take up much room on the view even though it looked like a large ship. Are there examples of what a life raft would look like? Maybe a tiny white dot on the ocean?

Its begining to feel like that tv show LOST

DREAM OF MH370

Hello,

as I wrote before at ATS, I have had a real like dream such one you have it not often, I had a dream about it JUST AT THIS TIME AS IT HAPPENED with the fly MH370 (I am living in Europe and as I went to sleep nobody knew there would dissappear a plane) I woke up sweated because of my dream:

I was sitting aboard of a plane flying very deep over the sea, you have seen the waves on the ocean, I was scared we will crash every moment into the sea but then we surprisingly crash landed on land, there was a deeply green jungle like forest around of us, some green forest hills, a very remote area but we survived.

I was pretty shocked of this dream, even more as I saw during the breakfast in the news of the day there was a plane accident, you can imagine how I felt, and now as the story is becoming more strange I think perhaps this dream is perhaps a kind of supernatural being there or receiving a kind of a message, I think they should look at them also on little islands, also on land.

Regards

The fact that the Plane flew low is an indication that it was to avoid Radar...could it be?

Reminds me of Flight 714 of Tintin fame.

A temporary runway constructed on any uninhabited island with a long beach, could be dismantled and the plane could be buried under the sand...could be.

I smell a return of rastapopulos!!
