I am still going with the theory that the plane going off radar 1 minute before Vietnamese airspace is important.

Have no idea what it means..but it is just too coincidental.

These days there are some cell phones that can handle water.

Well..here is a theory as to why the claim the plane went missing before Vietnamese airspace could be important..

“These eerie happenings have, of course, given rise to a number of conspiracy theories, one of which purports that the aircraft may have been hijacked by terrorists bearing fake passports and is now secretly stationed at an abandoned Vietnamese airport at this very moment. “

Although, I doubt this is what happened.

Cell phones can be easily tracked. Why hasn’t someone done this?

I know, I was thinking more about G forces on impact, and pressure at depth creating leaks that would short them completely.

you still have hope but probably shouldn't

Hope might be a good thing until the reality and acceptance set in. It depends on the individual.

‘First thing this morning on NBC5 local news informed us that our idiots in Washington have already decided that terrorism was not involved. Really? How the hell did they determin that? Idiots.....”

Well, not really idiots. See, terrorism stopped existing the second Obama was elected. He issued an executive order or some such. Nothing to see here but random mechanical malfunctions, work place violence and some misguided utes playing with really big firecrackers at the Boston Marathon oh, and some crazy arse cracker making videos that enrage some guy named Ben Gaz Eee. Obama got Osama, didn’t you hear!?! Then again, this whole plane crash could be some of those right wing terrorists and you know how they are.

As for this plane, I hear that all the passengers are on some mysterious island where time travel is possible. They may make a TV series out of it or something.

What’s this?

Snip:

The Thai travel agent who booked the tickets for the men told the Financial Times on Monday that she had been asked to arrange the travel by an Iranian contact.

2 to 4 people flying on stolen passports.

Could be multiple suicide bombers.

You're absolutely right.

The Concerted Effort to Mitigate Man-Caused Disasters is OVER. People need to get that through their thick skulls.

While the debris field will measure in miles remember 99% of that debris will sink. People will float for a bit, assuming they don’t get eaten, and seat cushions, maybe meal trays, everything else has enough metal in it to head straight to the bottom. And of course that little bit that floats will be scatter over miles, and drifting. There’s a very good chance we will never find any part of this plane, or if we do find something it’ll be a cushion floating ashore somewhere.

Folks that think this thing should be easy to find need to remember the Challenger disaster. We WATCHED that happen with dozens of cameras and tracking and had recovery efforts mobilized while it was still falling and we still haven’t even recovered half of it and it took over a month to find the crew cabin.

Cellphones are tracked by cell tower. If you’ve got no tower in LOS you’ve got no tracking. Also they need to be powered, which they probably aren’t anymore.

How are the victims cells phones able to ring while blown up or at the bottom of the ocean?

The same way you can replicate it.

Take the battery out of a cell phone, and have someone call the number.
So long as you have paid your phone bill, your cell provider's equipment will provide a signal that it is attempting to reach the cell phone, NOT that the cell phone has received a signal. If there is no response, it probably would also go to voicemail.

( think of throwing a bag of popcorn from a auto going 60 MPH)

Silly comparison. Try throwing a bag of popcorn over a jungle, and lots of luck.

The cited ~2 hour flight time before losing track of the aircraft would put it quite close to the coastline of the Gulf of Tonkin, and the edge of the Vietnamese jungle.

Think trying to find troops and equipment traveling along the Ho Chi Minh trail... or the discovery of American military wreckage decades after the Vietnam war was over. Specially if the aircraft did not impact in large pieces.

Seems like I read in an article posted on here that the slick was from passing ships or something?

What's your reference for that?
Unfortunately, where that "line" is depends of which map showing the planned flight you want to believe.

Yes, all passenger flights MUST file a complete flight plan which must be followed within a mile or so. Pilots must get approval to deviate from that flight plan under penalty of being shot down (Korean Air Lines Flight 007.)

Why there is still uncertainty about the exact intended path of Flight MH370 is incomprehensible.
