Vietnamese authorities searching waters for the missing Boeing 777 jetliner spotted an object Sunday that they suspected was one of the plane's doors, as international intelligence agencies joined the investigation into two passengers who boarded the aircraft with stolen passports.

The two passengers could have been given the stolen passports and free tickets to Europe for a variety of reasons, then unwittingly had explosives hidden on their person or in their baggage.

The passports could have nothing to do with this. Most of Malaysia is Muslim-anyone checking the PILOTS? No distress signal, no indication of trouble. If they were Muslim terrorists they could have simply put the plane into the ocean.

Aircraft doors often contain the evac slides and the bottles to inflate them.

Yup. Plastic, paper etc in plane's interiors is lighter than water and will float if not secured to something heavy. Just a matter of time until all sorts of light weight material is on the surface.

Too risky these days when people are fighting back. Got to be certain of success.

The only thing that is missing is some bunch of wogs taking credit for this. Hasn't happened yet.

If you are going to blow up the plane, why spend the money for other destinations?

It was reported that Mohammed Atta was shopping for clothes at Walmart the night before his morning flight out of Portland, Maine.

Because one way tickets raise unwanted attention.

I’m curious what the Chinese know about these people with stolen passports. If you’ve ever been to China have to go through a big visa process before you travel just to get a visa to let you enter the country. You have to go to a Chinese consulate, fill out a long form and even include an additional passport type photographs of yourself that they keep on file... It takes at least a day to process and you have to surrender your passport to them while it is done . This is just to get a visa to enter the country....all done ahead of time so they must have a complete record....Having gone through the Chinese visa process myself I’m wonder why they couldn’t determine these passports were stolen..They were never reported stolen? If the were stolen when the true owner was out of the country a new one would of been need to get back home for the true owner so be flaged as missing.....ive done a lot of travel in that part of the world last year..and these countries check

However, Beijing has a policy whereby some passengers in transit to third countries can stay in the Chinese capital for 72 hours without a visa, so the two men may have not needed to apply for a Chinese visa if they had tickets to another destination.

Locked cockpit would prevent passenger reaction and if both pilot and co-pilot like the idea of killing a plane full of people for ‘Allah’-what’s to stop them? Then again, Third World maintenance could play a part, not to mention good old incompetence. Either way, I doubt a Muslim country would ever give us the truth and-I’m not ashamed to say- a few hundred dead Muslims is a good start.( Pity reserved for any non-Muslims aboard)

If you put an airplane in a parabolic dive everyone will float around in zero g unless you are buckled into your seat. Do you know what the Vomit Comet is?

China has a program where travelers passing through from certain countries are not required to have visas. People with European passports are afforded this convenience.

I see. So it's not as unusual as dummies like me would think.

The pilot was an old hand with over 18,000 hours. Dunno about the Co-pilot.

The thing is, there's no terrorism value, unless everybody knows who it was.

9/11 was valuable because the brought down 4 planes and 2+ buildings, 3000 infidels killed. Here there's one plane, majority Muslims, I suppose, and nobody knows.

“A government is just a reflection of the people that create it. Los Angeles has a majority Third world population. A Third world people can’t create or maintain First World institutions like an honest, efficient government.”

Used to work for a company that makes Nomex Honeycomb material. All the interior A/C panels are made of Tedlar/Nomex Honeycomb because it’s extremely light and since it’s a closed cell structure it floats.

On the other hand, if you're going to blow up the plane, why NOT?

Especially if it's SOMEBODY ELSE'S MONEY.

Interesting:
Haven't seen confirmation from a reputable source, but CNN has this:

Twenty of the passengers aboard the flight work with Freescale Semiconductor, a company based in Austin, Texas. The company said that 12 of the employees are from Malaysia and eight are from China.

Silicon wars?

Were there any infidels of note on the plane? Muslims would have no problem killing hundreds of their own( they do it every day) to get a target. Either way- as I said- I pity any non Muslims killed. IMO, the fewer Muslims on the planet the better.
