Thanks, Satin Doll.
It is now, probably, in Pakistan and has been since sundown on Saturday.
Either that or the Indians shot it down before it reached Pakistan and both they and we are hushing it up.
“Way-points are geographic coordinates that help pilots navigate along established air corridors. The last confirmed position of MH370 on civilian radar was at 35,000 feet about 90 miles off the east coast of Malaysia, heading toward Vietnam, near a navigational way-point called “Igari” at 1:21 a.m. local time.”
“Reuters said the military radar data seen by its sources suggests the plane then turned sharply westwards, heading toward a way-point called “Vampi,” northeast of Indonesia’s Aceh province and a navigational point used for planes following route N571 to the Middle East. From there, the plot indicates the plane flew toward a way-point called “Gival”, south of the Thai island of Phuket, and was last plotted heading northwest toward another way-point called “Igrex”, on route P628 that would take it over the Andaman Islands and which carriers use to fly toward Europe.”

Another thing I’ve wondered about is the spot where Bin Laden was dumped overboard. It wouldn’t surprise me if islamderthals wouldn’t kill a few hundred people in his honor.
One would think authorities are doing intensive background searches on every single passenger.
The news media and news reports do not understand the data down link on the 777. There are 2 separate systems. ACARS and AHM System. The ACARS downloads an engine data report three times during every flight: at gear up, at cruise initiation (1:07 am), and gear down. The system was not disabled. The gear never came down so the final data report was never sent. The second data reporting system is called Airplane Health Management system. It is built into every 777. It is always operating. The system reports to Boeing servers thru Iridium low earth orbit satellites once per hour. The airline must pay a subscription fee to obtain the data. MAL was not a subscriber. They did not get any data; however, they system pings the server once per hour over the life of the aircraft. The ping would travel thru the nearest Iridium satellite to the Boeing server. The server would log the time and aircraft ID. By back - tracking thru the satellite system that handled the pings would allow the ground folks to reconstruct the flight path. That is why India has been asked to help and why the destroyer Kidd has been sent to the Indian ocean.
I have been thinking about the passengers and how they would deal with them. If they didn’t have weapons on board and wanted to quietly get to their destination, they were flying at a perfect time of night. The passengers would probably be asleep. Any deviation, the pilot could tell the passengers it was a minor navigation correction. Given the length of the flight, people on board might not notice
Staying primarily over water would keep the cell phones inactive till they reached land. Then they could more dramatically deal with the everyone on board.
I want to believe that our government is on this in a big way.
There are a dozen or so airfields on Indian Ocean islands that are predominantly Muslim. However I can’t really see a secret like a 777 being kept successfully.
Technically, we could also say it was headed in the direction of Lake Michigan (either from the east or from the west).
Another twist and turn to the story. Reports are published then denied. Published again and denied. We are being jerked from the East coast to the West coast of Malaysia. This is definitely like a mystery novel. I can see a movie comming out after this is over. Quite the plot. Heck the first parts may already be written and are just waiting on the final outcome.
I suspect that the aero-engineers at Boeing know exactly where this aircraft is and have known for quite some time — but they are just not allowed to say so or exactly how they know.
IMHO...it was stolen to be used for something big. The people on board will be held captive until they’re no longer a threat. The crew were all in on it and very savvy.
‘Deliberately’.
Journalists. If you can’t do, teach. If you can’t teach, be a journalist.
Writing stuff like this is either a)intentional (propaganda), or b)unintentional (ignorant).
Because its IMPOSSIBLE that they plane’s nav system could have either been hacked, or that the plane’s telemetry was spoofed to make the pilots think there were somewhere when they were actually somewhere-else.
Based on what I’ve SEEN HACKERS DO IN PERSON with ACARS, FMS, etc., you can EASILY fool a heavy commercial airliner over water that they are on course, but in all actuality hundreds, even thousands of miles off. You can spend less than $500 dollars and have everything you need to hack a commercial heavy.
“Funny, I don’t remember this part of the Indian Ocean being so wide? We got a headwind or something?”
‘Deliberately’ implies the pilots steered the plane intentionally off the flight plan. If they have evidence of that, it should be in the article.
I love how the story came out about the pilots bringing girls into the flight deck. You had to dig to find out it was two years ago.
I know it did not have enough fuel to reach the Middle-East, but I reckon it was aimed at the Burj Khalifa. It ran out of fuel and crashed before it could reach.
What happened?
1) Pilot(s) went Allah Berserk and crashed plane screaming Allah Akbar
2) Islamic extremists screaming alla akbar attempted to hijack plane and were thwarted ala the 911 plane that went down in PA.
It may already be in Iran in a hidden hanger, its being repainted, its being converted into some form of a WMD, its target is most likely israel.
The real tricky part here is how do you insert this flying bomb into Israeli airspace? All you need to do is to at least fly near the border at 39,000 feet and then nose it over, at full throttle aircraft will go supersonic in a near vertical dive.
It could possibly have some form of radar absorbing paint applied, it may shadow a similar sized aircraft, it may be squaking a false IDENT as well.
Muslims love human shields, Iran says it still has passengers on board to Israel at the last moment.
But just what would nearly guarantee the total destruction of as many people in Israel? That is the goal of Iran, and lacking an ICBM they may have decided a manned 777 will do the job, especially since their weapons are not so compact, crude, dirty, heavy and big, but go kaboom never the less.
Its time to monitor Israel, that is the final destination of the 777.
The other theory that is a false flag operation could also play out but since its being discussed already they may have decided against it, to steal the 777, get it over America, do a “partial” or incomplete EMP burst, just enough damage and hysteria that can allow Obama to initiate his martial law agenda.
This jet was taken by people who knew what they were doing. I doubt they would go to all that trouble to dump the 777 in the Indian Ocean. They had to know they would be tracked by satellite during daylight hours after they shut all the electronics down. Right now surveillance is looking at every conceivable landing strip between Malaysia and Iran in the Indian Ocean and Gulf of Arabia. Flight 370 landed and was refueled and flew as quickly as it could to friendly Islamic airspace over Pakistan or Iran. It would draw to much attention to be anything less than state sponsored activity, but to what end. Any manner of diversions could be created to allow this 777 to penetrate airspace on a non-war footing that we or our Government or Military have not contemplated, but the chess playing death wishing mohammedan’s have. Whatever is going to happen has been set in motion? Iran has planned this out with Russia and we are focused on Ukraine. Iran has nukes they are ready to test on somebody’s front yard. Israel has warned us and Obama is an idiot and a coward and we cannot suffer these fools for much longer. Would the Iranian’s screw their new Chinese friends knowing most of the passengers were Chinese? If we find the FLT370’s final location by surveillance in Iran how do we prove it? Do we send in a drone strike over Iran? Did we after Iran captured one of our stealth recon drones? Or do we give Israel the green light to strike Iran and take out the centrifuges, the stolen 777, and the nuke material? Do we send in a commando raid and strike? Somebody knows and they are not speaking and wish that the WSJ never leaked the data link story about the FLT370 staying airborne. The fruitless search and recovery of black boxes was a better cover story. Build yourself a quick Faraday cage out of tinfoil and a paper box.
This aircraft is at the bottom of the ocean, probably 600 miles south of Sri Lanka or wherever the ocean is deepest in that area. The pilot pulled a ‘Sully’ maneuver or a belly landing to minimize debris.
