“LIGNET put out a report, substantiated yesterday, that there sources got their information from Boeing sources, which is covert. Not that they got their information from the Boeing Company because they’re involved in the investigation, that the airplane was in Pakistan. That was confirmed by LIGNET on Monday and I got another source at LIGNET that confirmed it yesterday… I do believe that those people in Pakistan, in the ISI, those people who knew where Osama Bin Laden was and didn’t tell us. I believe those same elements could be involved with getting that airplane into a Pakistan air force base.”
Of the four, Skardu is the easternmost and the most remote.
Even at that high elevation, the 12,000 feet would allow a loaded 777 to take off again. The other ones, not so much.
>> “What’s the danger if that plane is ditched in the Indian Ocean? Nada.” <<

Thus wishful thinking for most, and a great scam for the quacks in the west wing.

What’s you game?
Although China is a tyrannical regime clearly and has treated its people brutally in the past and present, I’d think if outsiders mess big time with Chinese citizens, there might be quite a bit of retaliation. So, I’m skeptical of those who say the Terrorists would murder them.
So then you are saying that Boeing and Inmarsat are lying to us and the 14 nations searching the seas off of Australia???
Is that what you are saying???
Precisely.
If the plane is in Pakistan, Skardu would be a good place to start looking.
What synchronization would that be?
The only relevant delay is how long it takes the gadget on the airplane to turn around a ping. And, since Inmarsat probably supplies the box, they would have a good read on that. And, if not, Boeing would know where to get the information. After that, it's easy: Time the ping response, subtract out turn around delay, divide by two, and multiply by the speed of light.
Why couldn’t the 777 avionics provide lat/lon/el as part of the data sent to the sat?

Air view of Skardu 2011
Looks like it was taken from a helicopter.
Very mountainous area. Great opportunities for terrain masking.
The satellite transceiver is apparently one of several channels systems on the airplane can use to report information to ground. Whoever stole the plane apparently turned off the relevant systems but did not know enough also to disable the satcom they use.
The satcom is not avionics. But it still communicates with the satellite once per hour, even if it has no traffic to send. The time taken by those exchanges allowed Inmarsat to work out the plane's distance from the satellite at the time of each such communication.
China wouldn’t take it, as bad as a regime as they have been, present and past. Treating their citizens like this, if they were murdered smacks to me of Nanking. Sure, the Chinese kill their own people and made them suffer famine in the past but that wouldn’t give foreigners the right to mess them over. Even if China doesn’t have as good of intelligence as we or Israel have, I’d think they could still be effective.
The approach is a bit cozy, but there's plenty of room for a 777.
I don't see a single hangar on the property, however -- nothing to stash the plane in and hide it from view.
You don't know much about flying do you.
The government knows almost exactly what route this plane took based on the six or seven hours of satellite pings it received - it knew the precise locations of the satellite each time it got a ping, and could calculate the distance of the satellite to the plane by the timing of the pings - assuming a flight path of average cruising speed with relatively negligible variations in speed and altitude, it should have been possible to use the different locations of the satellite to triangulate the plane’s location within a narrow band, surely enough to differentiate whether it went west or south - I’m guessing the smoke about where it’s really located is only to give the government enough time to take measures to stop any future use of the plane for terroristic purposes.....
The data was shut off, all that was transmitted was the periodic handshake.
It depends on the detection limits of the listening device and if there is such a device in the Indian Ocean. I’m sure that information is classified.
48 feet of road bed width is what is needed.
