Pulau We, Sabang, SBC. An airport. On an Island off the coast of Banda Aceh.

It is very possible that the hijackers flew along a standard airline route from Singapore to New Delhi where the Indian military air defense radar personnel would ignore the flight as simply a normal airliner, and the Indian civilian air traffic controllers would not even know or “see” the hijacked airliner because the hijackers had turned its transponder off three to five hours earlier.

So... the military will see this blip WITHOUT A TRANSPONDER, and say "Hey, No big deal", while the civilians won't even see it.

Not a good plan for military defense, if you ask me.

Please post entire article here. Blog pimping is frowned upon.

“It is possible that this latest report is also deceptive and that there was another and final “ping” at 9:11 a.m. which has been withheld because it greatly narrows the search area into an extremely volatile region of West-Central Asia.”

Lots of cover up going on.

No way China would let it fly that distance without an intercept.

I am surprised to learn that the cockpit crew can turn cabin pressurization off with the flip of a switch!

Here’s some stuff that might be worthy of being called a ‘hint’:

Boeing 777 hijackers plunged to 5,000ft and used low altitude ‘terrain masking’ manoeuvre practised by fighter jets to avoid radar detection

Ummm... no. Two minutes without O2 does not kill you. It does knock you out for a few minutes. As for the pilots, at FL 430 you need positive pressure O2 masks. I do not believe the crew had such masks. Then there is the problem of disposing of 230 bodies. No small task. Then there is the issue of keeping 230 furious passengers from breaking-down the cockpit door and taking back the airplane during its seven hour joy ride.

Any thoughts that a jihadi video claiming responsibility for a the hijacking or suicide mission were found on the pilot’s and / or copilot’s computers but is being hidden by the Malaysian gov’t?

Most cogent analysis I’ve seen so far.

One question most people haven’t thought to ask I believe: Do pilots know that their engines are sending pings to the satellites? If so, can those pings be shut down from the flight deck?

I’m wondering this because the locus of possible landing locations is bounded by a circle defined by the radius of the aircraft flying at max speed from the center of that circle defined by its last ping. It has from the time of the last ping until the next expected ping to hide the plane and shut it down before it pings again.

If it pings over land, then the hijackers would be at risk of being found and caught.

You’d want to ‘make your escape’ from your last ping, ending your flight as close to your next ping as possible.

Or, you’d want to shut the engine health satellite ping off.

Where ever you land, you’d want holes for both the bodies and the luggage, even if you intended to burn or dissolve both first.

I would not be surprised if Malaysian Air isn’t in talks with Boeing to have each of those aircraft repainted in a brand new service mark and color scheme on some sort of rotating basis.

The one very highly impractical thing for the hijackers to pull off is a repainting of the aircraft. They can do such a thing, but it would be difficult.

You pull the seats out of something like a 777 and you can get a terrifying number of nuclear weapons aboard. Making them go off all at the exact same time would be a tougher trick than you’d think.

Putting on the tinfoil hat for a second, if there is any truth to the rumor that we use commercial heavies to perform weather modification work on their routes, and that they are equipped with tanks and nozzles for distributing the material used for that purpose, it may mean that the plane has the means to distribute chemical or biological weapons without being either suspected or detected.

It’s funny how we find out, after the appropriate amount of time, that many conspiracy theories turn out being correct. McCarthy was right. Government WAS full of communists. The listed goals of Communism for the US were legitimate, and the new Soviet Union is still working toward them, etc.

Anyway, the havoc you can wreak with a 777 isn’t limited to crashing it into a building.

I’ll bet this plane will ‘reappear’ and with a full tank of fuel.

Guess where.

I find it hard to believe that if it flew north or northwest over land that it would not have been picked up on Chinese and/or Indian radar.

The arc there is based upon the last ping but where are the arcs of the four previous pings???

Plane’s been found. According to The Star, it’s on the moon.

"Throw the pressurization switch"???

Is that next to the "EASY" button?

I can’t sign on to a Boeing 777 of any type being flown into Indian airspace without being detected. However, I’ve qualified remarks prior stating everything is dependent on the US & other militaries providing factual & complete info.

This also relies on the so-called ‘last ping’.

I’m confused: If the plane responded to a ping, it transmitted data, as it was a maintenance signal for the engines & plane’s attitude, right? (that’s what the public has been told)

Then why did both Boeing & Rolls Royce deny receiving any engine data, all while being reported that the ‘pings’ are sending data, ostensibly on airspeed & altitude? Either data was sent by the plane, & received by Boeing, or it wasn’t.

If the engine data is being sent by ACARS, as Boeing asserts, then what is this ‘ping’ that has everyone looking in the potentially wrong places?

IMHO: It doesn’t matter.

I’m so done with this ‘distraction’: It’s a tragedy (all souls lost) and the public is being served a stage drama courtesy of multiple governments, agencies & militaries.

Either the simplest theory is the answer, or this is one of the most diabolical & well-planned plots (replete with clever & highly-technical misdirection)...all over a single airliner, which could have been acquired much easier for nefarious purposes, imho.

If it matters, here is the latest bs
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/malaysia/10704769/Malaysian-Airlines-MH370-live.html

You know what they say about opinions; I’m guilty, too.

On that note, I have business to attend to...
