You are correct. Failure to receive the last ACARS report probably means that the plane landed without the gear being dropped.

Well stated and then there’s the satellite fleet of the USAF. They have over 900 of them many of which can look down. We watch these waters as closely as anyplace and I’m not believing that somewhere in the recorded data is at least a blinking light path that came from this plane——also confirming to me why the Kidd is going where it’s going. Note also that, apparently it’s the Kidd and only the Kidd, even tho Task Force 150 is near by as well as the rest of 5th and 7th fleet operations. The lack of “wheels down” data is a bit spooky meaning the plan just didn’t work out.

If MAL had subscribed to AHM all the data you listed would a have been sent on a regular basis to to Boeing server.

Well, I'm glad we have someone here who knows a lot about aircraft. Have you flown these big jets? I just think the First Officer would know about all of these tracking systems, IMHO. Anyway, unless there's a way to turn off that AHM transponder, it doesn't bode well for the aircraft and passengers.

If they could turn it off, an ideal time for a hijacker to do so would be after the first 2 pings and right before the last ping to make everybody think it's crashed. Some of these terrorists are pretty crafty.

"Boeing 777 converted to a nuclear bomber soon on its way to Tel Aviv or New York."

Certainly the most logical conclusion at this point.

One would think authorities are doing intensive background searches on every single passenger and crew member.

Don't forget the repentant intended shoe-bomber's recent testimony about terror cells in Malaysia including a pilot.

Since MAL did not subscribe to AHM data and since non of the 777 experts I have heard on TV know about the AHM system why do you think any of the MAL pilots knew about it?

More likely scenario is that of the 911 plane that crashed in PA. The terrorists attempting to use the plane as a missle were overtaken and the plane crashed.

It’s an assumption, but I was just thinking the higher up you are in an organization, the more secrets you know. Pilot probably knows more than the copilot. How did the talking heads or how did you find out about the system? There must be a way to find out.

I suspect that the aero-engineers at Boeing know exactly where this aircraft is and have known for quite some time — but they are just not allowed to say so or exactly how they know.

Google. Just try searching. There is a lot out there about these systems. Boeing, 777, ahm, acars, Iridium satellite system, etc.

IMHO...it was stolen to be used for something big. The people on board will be held captive until they’re no longer a threat. The crew were all in on it and very savvy.

I agree with you. Specific search locations were given to India search and rescue folks. I read that on an AP news report one time.

Diego Garcia? The same place we were launching B-52’s from during the Iraq wars?

There was someone, or something, of extremely high value on that plane. Maybe Chinese gold. Maybe another Ed Snowden. Maybe someone with inside knowledge of Iran’s nuclear program. Or maybe a enhanced CIA rendering operation.

Doesn’t seem like terrorism. What would Muslim extremists want with a 777? There are like what, 20 countries looking for it? If I was a bad guy I wouldn’t want to be anywhere near that plane if it’s still in 1 piece!! That plane is nothing but trouble, and whatever happened to the passengers makes it even worse.

Also, it had to be an inside job, the pilots were probably part of the scheme.
