I think Boeing is sweating right about now.

ACARS can be sent both via VHF radio and satellite - but Malaysia Airlines had not subscribed to the satellite version from London based provider Inmarsat.

Nevertheless, a satellite transmitter on the plane was pinging an Inmarsat satellite with empty data packets. And it is those that have allowed the plane’s position to be estimated on two tracks either side of the satellite.

Very interesting link. BTTT!

1) No information on the wife and kids, they are not at the house.

2)The point is complete evasion and disappearance. Why??

If there is no legal basis for charging the captain with piracy or any other crime because the blackboxes are not found.....the divorcing wife and kids can collect his life insurance.....

3)He is a lone wolf and they don’t play well with others because they are obsessed with absolute control of the operation.

Here’s a link to the Wiki entry on Ibrahim. Seems fairly level-headed for that part of the world.

Don’t know if it’s worth killing a plane-load of innocent people over.

Well, well well, what a lovely group

Here’s the flight manifest list of passengers:

Well, they're gonna make a movie about it..however, the title has already been used, in one of the classic British WW II films, "One of Our Aircraft is Missing"

[gandalftb]

There is a report from a Chinese newspaper that the wife and kids moved out the day before.

In this case it looks like political, not Muslim fanaticism.

AFAIK, Anwar Ibrahim, the ex-PM the pilot is/was a supporter of, is no more or less “muslim” than the current Malaysian PM.

He’s been sentenced to 5 years for sodomy, which even if an appeal is successful would put an end to his political career, which almost certainly is a trumped up, false charge.

satanic cult

How exactly can this plane hide if it did not crash?

Have you ever seen a airplane hanger? It fits inside a big one. Enough camo netting and that would probably work too. Can't just cover the airplane, but have to stretch it out in in a shape that doesn't look like an airplane. Many layers. Expensive, but a whole lot less than the plane is worth. Even on the used market.

But its highest value would come as a suicide bomber. Change some of the avionics and it could spoof air traffic control.

Here it comes. It was an act of political protest, not Islamic terrorism.

If that sounds familiar to you, it should...

You can actually SEE the inbreeding in that guy.

Muzzies are physically and mentally defective due to all the inbreeding.

[inpajamas]

Ah! For the first time things are starting to make some sense.

[melsec]

Thanks for that. I am an Aussie so I was unaware of that. I am not so sure that it would work the same here - proving one action wrong would not automatically mean the opposite action is correct - although most would see it at least as tacit approval.

Sorry - please remove previous post -wrong thread

I think he was the assistant pilot.

“Can You Trust Your Muslim Doctor?” was a billboard campaign some time ago.

Showed a Mrs. Bernstein or Mrs. Feldman with a very scared look on her face.

Got taken down quickly, IIRC.
