Telegraph ^ | 3/15 | mendick

Evidence of a plot by Malaysian Islamists to hijack a passenger jet in a 9/11-style attack is being investigated in connection with the disappearance of Flight MH370

An al-Qaeda supergrass told a court last week that four to five Malaysian men had been planning to take control of a plane, using a bomb hidden in a shoe to blow open the cockpit door.

And I think the super is related to those in the Parliament in Northern Ireland who actually gave up some of those in the IRA who supported them?

Let’s say, just for fun, that you have a small brick of HE just big enough to shred the latch on a cockpit door. And let’s say no one sees you light a fuze or that you have an electronic wireless detonator. How far can you get from that thing when it goes off to keep from knocking yourself silly? You’d be talking a grenade sized charge and the notion that you’re going to be in fighting condition after it goes off a few feet from you is nonsense-——throwing the BS flag on this proposition——tttthhhhheeeerrreee it gggoooeeeesss.

The word “grass” is British slang for a police informer and dates back to the 1930s. Is apparently a shortened form of the slang term “grasshopper,” meaning the same thing. “Grasshopper” itself is rhyming slang (where words rhyme with a hidden meaning) for either “copper” (police officer) or “shopper,” one who “shops” (sells) information to the police.

My theory is they ripped off the plane. The pilots are converts to the religion of peace, they went up to 45k shut off the O2 killing everybody, brought it down again and landed it - God knows where - and are planning to use it kamikaze style or God knows what. Bottom line: I highly doubt it was hijacked. The pilots were involved.

” First, it’s important to remember that the radar data showing the aircraft’s altitude is based on primary radar return data that is known to be inaccurate at great distances from the radar ground stations, as is the case here. “

This means that at 45,000 feet, the passengers would likely feel the same cabin pressure as at normal cruise altitude. There is no reason to believe that supplemental oxygen would have been required. Or that passengers would not have been able to survive, if in fact the aircraft did climb to 45,000 feet.

June-September 11, 2001: CD Cover Depicts Scene Much Like 9/11 Attacks on WTC

Cover artwork is designed for a forthcoming CD, which looks eerily like the attack on the World Trade Center that occurs three months later. The CD, “Party Music,” is the fourth album by a little-known hip-hop group called The Coup, which is known for its political activism. [CNN, 9/13/2001; Washington Post, 5/22/2002]

The intended cover design shows the two members of the group standing in front of the Twin Towers. One of them is pressing a button on a guitar tuner, as if it was a detonator, and two fireballs are exploding from the top floors of the WTC above them. [Village Voice, 11/2/2001] Days after 9/11, Wired magazine comments, “If it weren’t for the super-imposed images of the Oakland, California, hip-hop duo known as The Coup, the scene could pass for a remarkably precise replica of the horrific tragedy that befell New York City on Tuesday morning.”

The CD is in fact initially scheduled for release in early September, but at some point before 9/11, it is pushed back two months for release in November. Furthermore, as Wired describes, “Timing of the original album printing was disturbingly in sync with real-world events. The printers were set to crank out copies of the fiery World Trade Center image on Tuesday [September 11]… when the label put in a last-minute call, urging them to stop the presses.” [Wired News, 9/13/2001]

The group’s lead member, Raymond “Boots” Riley, is described by Kansas City newspaper The Pitch as a “confessed communist” who “has built a career out of making bold political statements.” [Pitch, 11/8/2001] Riley later says he’d come up with the idea for the CD cover along with his photographer, and they’d finished work on it by the beginning of June.

He says, “Any similarities [with 9/11] are totally coincidental, and it was originally supposed to be more of a metaphor for destroying capitalism—where the music is making capitalist towers blow up.” [Stranger, 9/20/2001] A new cover will be designed and used when the CD is eventually released. [Pitch, 11/8/2001] But copies are sent out prior to 9/11 to members of the press and others, and reviews appear in several publications before September 11 that show the original cover artwork of the exploding WTC.

I’m more thinkin the rise in altitude was deliberately done for the longevity of the flight......I’d be interested to see the assumed glide path possibles from a decent from 45 k feet

“Fool primary radars by flying close to flight #SQ68. A really fascinating possibility!”

Scene from the movie, “Miami Vice.”

What’s the mean? Why would it help the longevity of the flight?
