I've avoided this topic, waiting for another shoe to drop. Now it has.
Malaysian Air Flight 370 has been an enigma almost right from the beginning. Large jet aircraft do not simply disappear. Not in 2014. A little voice in my head kept saying that there's a lot more than we're being told.
No debris field was found. Had the jet exploded high in the air, a large debris field would have been spotted, as seen following the loss of TWA flight 800. If the jet dove into the water, the debris field would have been smaller, but most definitely findable. The black boxes are designed to send signals following a crash or an explosion. It hasn't. The 777 has redundant communications systems, which are not easy to disable.
We were told the aircraft just disappeared without a trace. Later we learned that that was not true. The Malaysian government has been the biggest pain in the ass during the time the flight has been missing.
Kuala Lumpur: Malaysian authorities said on Thursday there was no evidence that a jetliner missing for almost six days flew for hours after losing contact with air traffic controllers and continued to transmit technical data.
Those in the know knew better:
U.S. investigators suspect that Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 stayed in the air for up to four hours past the time it reached its last confirmed location, according to two people familiar with the details, raising the possibility that the plane could have flown on for hundreds of additional miles under conditions that remain murky.The investigators believe the plane flew for a total of up to five hours, according to these people, based on analysis of signals sent by the Boeing 777's satellite-communication link designed to automatically transmit the status of certain onboard systems to the ground.
Throughout the roughly four hours after the jet dropped from civilian radar screens, these people said, the link operated in a kind of standby mode and sought to establish contact with a satellite or satellites. These transmissions did not include data, they said, but the periodic contacts indicate to investigators that the plane was still intact and believed to be flying.
But those dopes in Kuala Lumpur denied it:
"Those reports are inaccurate," Malaysian Transport Minister Hishammuddin Hussein told a news conference. "As far as both Rolls-Royce and Boeing are concerned, those reports are inaccurate. The last (data) transmission from the aircraft was at 01:07 a.m.(local time) which indicated that everything was normal."
Now the big question- is the Malaysian government that stupid or are they inept? Or worse?
It stinks. It stinks bad.
Now come some amazing revelations:
The pilot is described as a "fanatic" and there is more eyebrow raising news:
An image has emerged of the pilot of the missing Malaysia Airlines jet wearing a T-shirt with a 'Democracy is Dead' slogan as it has been revealed he could have hijacked the plane in an anti-government protest.Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah, a father-of-three, was said to be a 'fanatical' supporter of the country's opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim - jailed for homosexuality just hours before the jet disappeared.
It has also been revealed that the pilot's wife and three children moved out of the family home the day before the plane went missing.
It comes as FBI investigators say the disappearance of MH370 may have been ‘an act of piracy’ and the possibility that hundreds of passengers are being held at an unknown location has not been ruled out.
Officials also revealed that it is possible the aircraft could have landed and transmitted a satellite signal from the ground. If the plane was intact and had enough electrical power in reserve, it would be able to send out a radar 'ping'.
The second we learned that officials were seeking to search the pilot's home it was apparent something curious was ongoing, and we weren't privy to it.
Malaysian officials are now certain that the jet was hijacked.
The jet is described as having climbed to 45,000 feet, possibly to cause the passengers and crew to lose consciousness, before plunging rapidly. The accuracy of the altitude changes is in dispute, however:
Goglia said he is very skeptical of reports the plane was flying erratically while it was being tracked by military radar, including steep ascents to very high altitudes and then sudden, rapid descents. Without a transponder signal, the ability to track planes isn't reliable at very high altitudes or with sudden shifts in altitude, he said.
There seems little doubt that the aircraft was hijacked and given the complexity of the actions taken, it appears that it was conducted by those with specially trained skills:

I flew Emirates quite a bit when I was in the Mid East. They always had a Brit or American pilot on board when flying into the US.
Video from Reuters
Aviation expert and former pilot Sully Sullenberger saying: “The aviation industry never normally tolerates this level of ambiguity.”
“You know, many of the possibilities verge on a spy novel kind of situation. We simply don’t know. Those (unintelligible) that you mentioned are theoretically possible. The real frustration is that we are learning more about this as Mark and Bob have said very late in the process. And with the passage of time, it makes the variability in the search much greater and it makes it much harder ultimately to find out what really did happen.”
I am going to plagiarize your ‘Xbox 1 seat jockeys’ term.
You are correct about the Asiana flight, but there’s even more to it. (Racist sounding rant to follow).
General aviation is not common in most Asian countries. So a kid getting some time in a Cessna or Piper is not likely.
There is a lot of rote memorization in their education system. It’s common to see the Asian student in a razor sharp uniform or a suit, and they will literally memorize the flight manual. But as for their basic stick and rudder skills........
“The jet is described as having climbed to 45,000 feet, possibly to cause the passengers and crew to lose consciousness, before plunging rapidly. “
By itself, climbing to 45,000 feet would not cause the passengers to lose consciousness.
MPL; Multi-Crew Pilot’s License. A joke. It is the regular commercial ticket, reduced to 18 years old, but placed into an ATP cockpit. It is a disaster for safety.
Yes, and when you reverse 13 and add 2 (for the # of equinoxes) you get 33, another special number.
OR take 3^3 power = 27. Add the digits in 27 up and you get 9. 9 is = to 3^2, another magic number.
And look at the number 110011, that’s binary for 33 decimal. Both are Palindromes.
Honestly, my current burning question is this: The news reports the Wife and Children left their home the day before. There’s been no elaboration nor any indication that they don’t know where his family is?
Perhaps the family was kidnapped and the pilot then forced to do what he did? Perhaps one of the Iranians on board with stolen passports was a go between the kidnappers and Pilot?
But the point is, there has been no elaboration and I think right now we can figure that everything that comes out of Malaysia is a fabrication, or a moronic guess.
I can go 10k on the Nevada side but, I tell you, I was amazed how only 3,000 feet more starved my lungs.
Ever watch the hang gliders as they float above the crest of Heavenly?
Really beautiful.
The NATO project ran into unexpected difficulties along with number 2. Number 3 is handling SPECTRE’s new Malaysian Airlines project.
LOL, we have the Young Eagles program where the parents only have to buy gas. The program is ran by pilots who donate their time and aircraft. It’s an under 18 program but they can continue under scholarship after high school.
LOL!!
Do you by any chance read David Bay?
.
Not four hours, but at least 7.
Probably almost eight hours. The last digital “handshake
‘ was at seven hours, ant the next would have been due at the eighth hour.
Malaysian Airlines is facing bankruptcy. Maybe they got pushed into it quicker than they planned. And their insurers, too.
You must be a blue lodger.
Numerology is freemasonry’s #1 game.
Damn, you are good! Perfect!!!
Code Toad, I think you are being generous when you describe it as a regular commercial ticket. It’s been a long time since I read it’s description, but I recall that it had no solo time, no cross country as solo or PIC, probably no good ol’ sectional/plotter/E6B cross country planning....etc.
Bingo!
Was trying to remember who here was a cowan or maybe an eavesdropper...
Just had to look up David Bay up.
Those articles are truly astounding for their invention and contrivance.
thnx
