Fox & Friends mentioned an update to the missing Malaysian flight this morning suggesting an oil rig worker may have witnessed the plane on fire at a high altitude. The story is covered here An early facebook post also included a photo posted by a passenger on another plane who witnessed what resembled several windows in sequence with fire blazing through each taken while traveling on Flight AK5122 Arasia from KL to KK at 6:45pm

You would think that FB picture would be a lead story. Not every day one looks out the window of a plane in mid air and see another plane on fire across the sky.

Looking at that photo, it’s unlikely a plane on fire. At that point, it wouldn’t even be in flight.........

Interesting. I wonder what would start a fire onboard a plane that would also disable the transponder and passengers’ cell phones. Or what kind of structural or electronics failure onboard would disable it?

I wonder who or what on that plane might have set a fire or caused an explosion.

I wonder whether a particular passenger on that plane was the target of a terrorist attack.

The two Iranians look more and more suspicious, but there may have been others too. Perhaps this is part of the reason the Malays are taking so much time saying anything definitive until they check all of the passengers’ passports with their home governments. Is China cooperating? An earlier report said that China had stopped looking for the plane days ago— perhaps because they knew where it was.

My intuitive take when the plane first went down was that something went wrong inside the plane that brought it down, perhaps something wrong with the structure or with the pilot. Third possibility, passenger(s) was a terrorist. Definitely, it’s under water now.

Not to offend FR scientists, but sometimes a woman’s intuition is correct.

I’ll bet Boeing execs are nervously pacing.

Maybe, maybe not. Only one worker saw it? That seems odd. Heck, it *ALL* seems odd at best.

I call BS. Not only is it too light out but weren’t we told this was a red-eye flight as it is - in Asia time?

Wrong time. The plane disappeared around 1 am local time.
