"So in your theory, whats the purpose or motive?
... If they land at a secondary airport such as you illustrate, then what?"
When dealing with Muslims, assume the worst. To motive to terrorist is to cripple "and/or" destroy the United States first and Israel second.
HOW?
Have you ever heard of an Electro Magnetic Pulse attack?
A stolen Boeing 777 is large enough to deliver even a crude nuclear weapon.
Do you think that IF they went through this much pre-planning, that they would NOT ALREADY have enough fuel waiting for them at the designated bare field to refuel the aircraft?
But most people cannot allow their minds to even conceive such EVIL.
But Muslim Extremists can.
This was a well planned terrorist operation,
and IF the mechanics were in on it and the ELT's were removed before the flight was boarded, at the first takeoff point,
THEN a crash/ditching is possible, as well as a shoot-down.
But with as much as we already know, this much planning does NOT go into the destruction of that aircraft.
They had other planned uses for this much preplanning,
and a repainting of that aircraft to appear like a different airline, to allow them entry into another country, under "false emergency conditions" to deliver some other type of "attack" is highly possible.
Now it's also possible that during their "STEALING OF" Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, they had a
real emergency and a real accident,
and that would lead to another long set of responses.
"Now if the commander came in and said what was said at the presser.Gentlemen, we are looking for a missing aircraft.
The suspected routes are . . .
And he proceeds to give three diametrically opposite routes.
Am [ I'm ] pretty sure, you and all around would look at each other, mumble snafu or fubar, shake your heads and say he does not have a clue, they are just guessing.
Tell me I am wrong"
You ARE wrong.
That's a normal military diversion tactic, meant to throw your enemy off target, and make yourself less predictable.
In a military situation,
you always put your mindset into the enemy's position, so asto do the worst possible damage ... at the worst possible time,... and at the worst possible location,
Very good. At least it has logic and flow to it.
And yes i can assume the worse. 9 years living several hundred miles from some of the worst atrocities muslims bestow on people, here in Thailand, Malay province.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts
Wouldn’t it be a booger in the bowl of salad if the plane went to Australia. Plenty of places to land and hide and to take off. And Oz could be a staging spot set up years ago to load a WMD,EMP or a nuke.
Because of many inflexible ways of thinking these members of the ROP are counting on doing the opposite, who on earth would dare go to Australia?
I don’t think there is an EMP attack using this aircraft planned.
To get a really good EMP effect the bomb has to be above the atmosphere, some 10X the maximum ceiling of a 777.
I won’t rule out a limited area EMP attack, or a more frank nuclear attack, but the airframe is not capable of carrying out a continental EMP attack.
