Given the multiple terror threats issued recently by Al Qaeda and the Islamic State, whenever a major jetliner crashes one immediately suspects that jihad may be involved. And, given the Western political propensity to deny and cover up any planned Islamic terror attack, one suspects that the evidence of jihad will emerge slowly, if ever.
The A320 is designed to cruise at 37,000 feet for optimum fuel usage. The fact that it began a controlled descent at full speed without making radio contact with air traffic controllers is peculiar, to say the least. A320 pilots association is saying crash was most likely caused by, quote, ‘pilot incapacitation’!
There were at least two Turks on the passenger list.
French air traffic controllers have reported that the aircraft did not initiate the Mayday call; they (ATC) did because they had lost touch with it (quote). No doubt they were watching its speed/altitude graph, calculating its “steep, controlled” rate of descent and failure to turn away towards the nearest airfield...

Nice overview.
Something is definitely up with this. I hope the black boxes give the answers. Several pilots were making comments that this seems suspicious.
I wonder if the flight can be ‘hacked’ by a passenger, through the entertainment console? I’m aware that flight MH-370 was NOT an Airbus, so it could just be ‘sudden Jihadi syndrome’ by Muzzie pilots, or cockpit intrusion by a passenger or more likely a crew member.
I would never fly an Airbus.
The again if I fly I’d rather be in a small plane with me as pilot.
I think someone penetrated the cockpit. Hope we find out soon.
MH370 was an Airbus.
A computer malfunction would not make radio contact impossible.
Some pictures from skynews.
A video.

This is so easy. Put a button on the pilot side of the cockpit. Put another on the co-pilot side. When the two buttons are pushed simultaneously, a panel opens, allowing access to two loaded .45's.
Wait a minute...that might offend some liberal. Never mind.
Correct, I was thinking of Air Asia A320.
Malaysia flight MH-370 was a Boeing 777.
“I wonder if the flight can be ‘hacked’ by a passenger, through the entertainment console?”
According to a cyber security expert interviewed on Fox the other day, expert hackers would be able to interface with the comsat and avionics systems if they had the right equipment. Hackers could even place a remotely operated device aboard a flight and control it from the ground.
He said this would require extremely advanced computer skills, but that it could be done.
The whole crew should be armed to the teeth.
The video link illustrates a widely scattered pattern of shattered debris with no clear visible point of impact.
A transmitter that jams the controls, that looks like a laptop...probably not to hard to come up with and impossible to detect.
Be prepared for going back to the days of no electronics in the cabin.
