BREAKING: Two Suspect Iranian Passengers on Flight MH370 Identified – Roommate Interviewed
The Gateway Pundit ^ | 3/10/14 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 03/10/2014 9:01:04 PM PDT by Nachum

The BBC Persian channel interviewed a friend of the two suspect passengers who were traveling with stolen passports. The friend says the two men wanted to migrate to Europe.

The two men travelling on stolen passports on the Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 that mysteriously disappeared on Saturday have been identified as Iranian nationals.

A BBC Persian report quotes an Iranian friend of one of the men, who said he hosted the pair in Kuala Lumpur after they arrived from Tehran in the days preceding their flight to Beijing.

The friend, who knew one of the men from his school days in Iran, said the men had bought the fake passports because they wanted to migrate to Europe.

The pair were travelling on passports belonging to Christian Kozel, an 30-year-old Austrian, and Luigi Maraldi, a 37-year-old Italian.

How did an Iranian go through security with an Austrian passport?

He probably pretended to not speak English and they could not find a translator who spoke Austrian.

My thoughts return to the wing tip incident experienced by this same aircraft awhile back. It got smacked and may have caused an undetected fracture closer to the fuselage.

Malaysia Airlines let this plane fly and may suspect what happened here but are hesitant to take responsibility for allowing the plane to continue to fly. The impending lawsuits would surely bankrupt the airline and possibly result in criminal negligence charges. So now a cover-up?

If the compromised wing slowly tore away, over a period of 3 to 5 minutes the pilot would attempt to turn back or turn anyway whether the pilot wanted to or not.

Maybe there is communications from the pilot but Malaysia Airlines is not releasing it?

Not to mention that the 777 is really good at flying itself.. Or at least trying to with a fracturing wing.

Remember EgyptAir flight 990.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EgyptAir_Flight_990

‘The cockpit voice recorder (CVR) recorded the Captain excusing himself to go to the lavatory, followed thirty seconds later by the First Officer saying in Egyptian Arabic “Tawkalt ala Allah”, which translates to “I rely on God.” A minute later, the autopilot was disengaged, immediately followed by the First Officer again saying, “I rely on God.” Three seconds later, the throttles for both engines were reduced to idle, and both elevators were moved three degrees nose down. The First Officer repeated “I rely on God” seven more times before the Captain suddenly asked repeatedly, “What’s happening, what’s happening?”’

But even with this crash there was some floating debris.

‘At sunrise, the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy training vessel Kings Pointer found an oil sheen and some small pieces of debris. Rescue efforts continued by air and by sea, with a group of USCG cutters covering 10,000 square miles (26,000 km2) on 31 October with the hope of locating survivors, but no bodies were recovered from the debris field. Eventually most passengers were identified by DNA from fractured remains recovered from the debris field and the ocean floor. ‘

Is it possible? I don’t know. This is a theory. My other theory is it was beamed up in a giant UFO mother ship. But at this point I’m going with the first scenario.

Now, that’s a theory. I would not put it past corrupt authorities in South-East Asia.

I speculate that the aircraft has been either hijacked by the Iranians or stolen with the cap and f.o.’s permission. They turned the aircraft around, dropped to a low altitude to avoid radar but burning fuel at a higher rate than at cruising altitude, and flew to a remote airfield in one of many numerous islands in that region of the world, disembarked the passengers, and have loaded an Iranian nuke on board. That 777 will be repainted and re-programmed to look like another legitimate civilian aircraft. Then it will be flown into US airspace and detonated over a large city either in CA or NY. It probably would not be detected until it was too late.

That's a chilling scenario whether it involved this incident or not. But why would the Iranians need to hijack an aircraft?

Yeah. Surely mama Jarrett could truck a nuke in for the Iranians. Its clear she’s a secret terrorist.

Payne Stewart’s plane wasn’t maintained properly. The company that owed it we had been known to cut corners and they went bankrupt after the accident. My husband, who manages private jets, told me the details on this. It was preventable.

Seems to me if the 777 were flying with a dead crew that there would still have been radar contact.

In fact, if I were running the CIA, I’d be investigating ties between these two Iranian passport-fakers and Valerie Jarrett

My crazy theory:
Like ValuJet Flight 592, I believe a malfunction of all electronics on the plane, it doubled back and made landfall in the remote inland swamps. Some areas inland, if he was trying to get back to origination point, are remote and next to inhabited.
4*20’13.90” N
102*29’02.90” E

See reports from eye witnesses at this link. Then map where they were.

Maybe crazy but why not?

That ValuJet Flight 592, crew and passengers are still buried there!
May they rest in peace!

Saw some aviation expert on TV the other day who said the same thing my husband has said - many of these foreign pilots basically are trained to fly a computer. They don’t usually have the practical experience with airplanes that US pilots have. This contributed to the crash in San Francisco.

I had lunch with 2 pilots today who were talking about their experiences in Alaska and that sort of valuable experience is unknown to most foreign pilots.

............. I know the copilot was young............

I wonder whether he had a pistol pointing to his left, as he muttered Allah Akbar!

Thus no Mayday, no communications, no further radar pings as the co-pilot turned off the tracers, maybe all the electrical systems.

Allah Akbar!!!

They did the suicide wave quite well during the Iran Iraq War.

Also possible. ‘Young Muslim copilot with a gun’ is all it took. Didn’t the aircraft ahead of them say he heard mumbling sounds (injured pilot?) and interference when he called them?

Now if only a date could be pinned down either on the American calendar or Muzzie one when this might take place.

Perhaps they will play with a 911 emergency distress type pun, e.g. May Day.

What do you know, the National Day of Prayer will take place on Thursday, May 1, 2014.
