Bump
No debris sighted.
Not sure anyone in the rear of the aircraft was alive. The only reason to go to 45,000 ft would be to decompress and oxygen starve those in the back.
copious amounts of HE and EW can fully explain this. Not saying that’s what happened but it can explain it. There have been reports that new boeing airliners can be hacked mid air as well, as in, flight controls taken over externally.
Doubtfully.
He probably de pressurized the cabin when he climbed to 45,000 + feet to suffocate and kill the passengers and then flew the plane at low altitude to where ever it's being hidden until it's ready for whatever use the pirates intend to use it for
“Experts said flying a Boeing 777 in such a way would be dangerous, stressing the airframe and possibly causing those on board to be air sick and suffer from spatial disorientation.”
Why is the airframe stressed? At a low altitude, the cabin is barely pressurized.
Air sick? Depends on turbulence and visibility. Air sickness is usually the eye and the inner ear trying to resolve perceived discrepancies, leading to nausea.
Spatial disorientation? Turn on the autopilot.
Sure hope that Israel is watching out for commercial airliners intruding into their airspace. Seems like a convenient plan for Iran to deliver their not so advanced nuclear weapon.
Weird writing... it actually says it dropped 5,000 feet, not it dropped TO 5,000 feet. BIG difference.
And even then, terrain masking is a helluva lot lower than 5,000 feet!
And it took them a week to figure this out? Article says “experts” are “poring over” the data - as if you got a bunch of guys crouched over miles of ticker-tape in a smoke-filled room. Gimme a break.
None of these “expert explanations” adds up. Reminds me of all of the TWA 800 experts that starting sounding ridiculous. Maybe this will be the same way - silence all the questioners, come out with an “official” report, and jam it down the world’s throat. God knows there’s enough conscienceless shills that will back anything up for a price - or even a gold star and a pat on the head.
Article doesn’t match headline. Flying at 1,500 meters is very different from losing 1,500 meters.
Flying at 1,500 meters burns a lot of fuel, and even more getting back up to altitude.
If they flew at 1,500 meters for even 30 minutes, it shortens their range.
You avoid secondary radar by turning off the transponder.
You avoid primary radar with maneuvers.
another reason to be flying low would be disposal of the deceased. It just wouldn’t to be caught with a recent mass grave on one’s hands.
It didn’t do that without waypoints built into its electronics.
It did splash down in the Indian Ocean....
One of the best scenes in latest Clancy book, about Russian invasion of Ukraine, is scene where recon helicopters fly so low that those watching them are not even sure what they are. One even turns in to a parking lot.
I am willing tro take over world wide aviation safety.
My first change will be to remove the ability to turn off any flight tracking devices such as transponders.
And the installation of a separate self powered tracking unit in an area only accessible to crew on the ground.
My ideas are revolutionary and support my 5 million dollar a month salary demands.
Watet landing, sink, no debris. But then why no radio or sos. To many questions.
In an exclusive story, the government-backed paper said investigators analysing MH370’s flight data revealed that the 200-tonne, fully laden twinjet descended 1,500m or even lower to evade commercial (secondary) radar coverage
Notice that it says "dropped 5,000 feet", not "dropped TO 5000 feet",
and "descended 1,500 m", not "descended TO 1,500 m".
He prepared for this and executed it brilliantly.
He disabled all tracking for the plane, then put the lights out and wished the passengers 'good night'.
Then he depressurized the cabin and took it up to 45,000 feet to kill everyone on board. That's why their phones continued to ring for days in their purses and pockets.
Then he went under the radar to Pakistan where he handed this plane over to Al Qaeda and rogue elements in the Pakistan army.
The plane is being stripped and turned into a flying bomb right now.
The only quesions:
Will they put a Pakistani nuke on it or just regular explosives and dirty nuke material?
What is their target? Israel? Western Europe? The USA?
Israel has already said that they are on the lookout for any rogue 777s and are on full alert until this craft is found.
But suppose a Paki F-16 or Iranian F-15 joins up with this plane and they fly together under the radar and trail a scheduled 777 flight. When they are over water, the fighter jet shoots down the 777 full of passengers and the flying bomb 777 takes its place. Transponders are reset, the jet is already repainted...
They can fly into any city in the world and survive being challenged. Nobody would know.
The blast would make 9/11 look like a tea party.
This plane did not go in the water as there were systems on board that would be activated the minute it hit the water. The system would float to the surface and broadcast the plane's location. It is unlikely they disabled this system too. If they did, they would not have had to fly for 7 hours. We know this plane flew for 7 hours, so it was not even over water by then. It continued to 'ping' a satellite - but without revealing its location.
Al Qaeda has it.
This is far from over.
They already found one rogue pilot to hijack his passenger jet and murder all on board.
The Pakistani military is thoroughly corrupted and in bed with Al Qaeda. They even hid Bin Laden at the gates of one of their bases for nearly a decade.
Most of their military are rogue elements.
There would of been debris and certain measures would of set off. I’m now certain this plane is being kept somewhere for nefarious reasons.
