Boeing Source: Missing Plane in Pakistan
Lignet ^ | March 17, 2014, 5:30 p.m. |

Posted on 03/17/2014 3:01:29 PM PDT by robowombat

The Malaysian government reportedly is investigating the possibility that missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 avoided radar detection and landed in Pakistan near the Afghanistan border inside Taliban-controlled territory, according to the UK Independent . . . investigators confiscated a homemade flight simulator from the pilot’s home to see if it reveals any useful information . . . the Malaysian foreign minister told reporters that Malaysia asked several Asian countries for assistance in its investigation, including Pakistan . . . Pakistan dismissed the idea that a Boeing 777 could land undetected inside the country but promised to work with the Malaysian government in its search for the missing plane . . . a LIGNET analyst received information from a source at Boeing that the company believes the plane did land in Pakistan . . . Israel is taking the possibility of a terrorist attack seriously by mobilizing air defenses and scrutinizing approaching civilian aircraft, according to the Times of Israel . . . a Boeing 777 requires a lengthy, 7,500-foot runway, and Pakistan has many of them, meaning Flight 370 could conceivably be hidden in a hangar inside the country . . . U.S. surveillance of the area may be able to shed light on the theory through satellite imagery or signals intelligence.

Flying to the remotest part of the region possible before going in is called preventing closure. However none of this is a typical terrorist's modus operandi.

Neither was 9/11.

The problem with the "Drop it in the South" scenario is that it does not fit into any logical scheme.

I'm not sure why you believe it isn't logical. If the intent was to prevent closure and avoid retaliation, disappearing the plane in the southern Indian Ocean makes sense to me.

Have you been able to find anything that would indicate the last contact with MH370 was five hours earlier than what we have been told ... say around 8:21 of that evening? Maybe is a blind alley. But with so much misinformation coming from authorities in Malaysia am placing this on the table.

Experienced reporters seek at least two validations of any story they pursue. I am waiting for Debka followed by Michael Rivero to confirm this rumour.

“Pakistan dismissed the idea that a Boeing 777 could land undetected inside the country”

Most likely, Pakistan is in cahoots with the hijackers. Who’d believe anything those muzzies say?

Totally agree with all three points. And what state is the b!tich of the NWO, that has AWACS capability to hide a plane from both civi and milt radar...plus hack n’ fly it by wire... But why - 20 Chinese scientists on board?

Sounds like a hard place to land.

Not a problem. There are great pilots who can land on runways half the intended length. And survive.

Here's one.

Oooops

Everybody on the plane had a cell phone?

Before it was only a suspicion. Today it's an incontrovertible fact.

99.99999% of morons permanently attached to cellphones haven't the slightest clue how those systems work!

I haven't looked.
Ive been busy running the numbers on the Nautical Mileage of the Jet Routes and the computer "HandShakes" to try to reduce the number of runways we need to consider, for landing.

True- once they got out of areas with coverage, this probably wouldn’t have worked. But coverage is sort of unpredictable.

I don’t recall exactly when it was first realized that the flight was missing, but I’m sure family started calling about that time. However, as you say, it may have been a waste of time.

Please discard my last post. I made an error in reading what I thought I read. My error.

“Hard to believe that of the 239 cell phones on the plane, even with dead owners; not one has pinged on the ground or on the way to the ground.”

Why do so many think that there is cell phone service covering the entire globe? It doesn’t even cover the entire United States.

Dirt would do it, once. But there are lots of long runways in the area. You can find them with Google Earth.

No.
My specialty is air traffic control, and that's about all.
I'm not a "terrorists expert", and I've already learned too much about them.

Ergo, a 777 could use JATO for a short take-off.

Yeah.
Duct tape is great stuff!
