KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak said Saturday that a missing passenger jet was steered off course after its communications systems were intentionally disabled and could have potentially flown for seven additional hours.

In the most comprehensive account to date of the plane’s fate, Najib drew an ominous picture of what happened aboard Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, saying investigators had determined there was “deliberate action by someone on the plane.”

It suggests they might want to check into the people involved in fueling up the 777.

Kelly and other Fox night hosts were all over this story with a lot of real world pilots, specops, CIA spooks and FAA people.

At 650mph x 7 hrs = 4,450 miles. That’s roughly a seach area the size of Russia.

Curious that the newsies are pointing out that the plane could have flown as far as Kazakhstan, but they fail to mention Iran.

Considering that at least 2 passengers, apparently of Iranian descent, were flying on stolen passports, I would have Iran high on the list of possible locations.

Me too!

People ask why steal a plane from Malaysia. Considering how Malaysia’s investigation is going, it shouldn’t surprise anyone.

[Slyfox]

They probably landed in a country with an extremely controlled media so that when it did land the outside world would not find out.

Huh. Who would want to steal an entire 777 jetliner filled with people and not let the rest of the world know they did it?

That means the interior will be refinished with rich Corinthian leather.

Give the investigators bubble hats and a clattering piano tune, and they’re the latest iteration of Keystone Kops.
