US Investigators Think Missing Plane Might Have Been Stolen To Use Later For Another Purpose

U.S. investigators suspect that missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 stayed in the air for about four hours after it reached its last confirmed location, according to Andy Pasztor of The Wall Street Journal.

The Journal originally reported that they obtained data from the aircraft's engines, but then issued a correction saying that U.S. investigators based their position on "an analysis of signals sent through the plane’s satellite-communication link designed to automatically transmit the status of some onboard systems."

Satellites picked up 'electronic pings' from the flight after it lost contact, Reuters reports.

Malaysian authorities immediately rebutted the initial report, but have not provided any new information about the fate of the flight. Today, the country's minister of defense and acting minister of transport said the plane simply "vanished."

CNN Chief International correspondent Jim Sciutto reports that the "pings" of engine data, radar data, and fuel range have led the U.S. to alter their search to the Indian Ocean.

The primary scenarios of what happened remain a possible hijacking, action by rogue crew, or some sort of catastrophic mechanical failure.

One person tracking the probe told The Journal that U.S. counterterrorism officials are actively pursuing the notion that the plane was diverted "with the intention of using it later for another purpose."

So......will this plane show back up in the next 2 years and a flying bomb? Obama using that as a “reason” for martial law and setting himself up as the dick-tator for like of the USA?

what about the passengers? They had to be dealt with.

The easiest part of the plan.

I assume that everyone on that plane is being looked into —— passengers and crew ——— as to their past activities, and associates.

Maybe it hit the ocean and the fuel burned so hot the plane was vaporized, kinda like the one that hit the Pentagon.

They’re very powerful engines. You can feel it when you’re careening down the runway. and jump off. It’s a great ride.

Someone landed a plane on a runway at least a mile long,

In that part of the world the CIA had clandestine air strips for secrete missions against North Vietnam and in Cambodia. Think Air America. some of those strips would be long enough to handle the plane.

A 777 on a dirt or unimproved strip? Two ruined engines for sure.
