It appears out of nowhere, to this ignoramus, yours truly, that the target was SOMEONE ON BOARD THE JET>

Peruse the MANIFEST, ANYONE?

Clearly the plane was hijacked by Lauretta Fuddy. Freescale was actually transporting a working cold fusion unit via Andrea Rossi. This was to be sold to the Japanese to take the place of Fukushima. They were then going to pay Fuddy et al with Bitcoin. Bitcoin(Mark of the Beast), which of course, was made by the JOOS!

Possibly why no Statesmen of any nation are addressing this. No reason to go to war over a simple Boeing designs theft, via Freescale.

Way too much overkill and attention in stealing an entire plane and not giving the whole world closure. The payoff doesn't match the method.

Industrial espionage, blackmail and political payoffs are much more efficient and already embedded in the infrastructure.

And you have proof that it wasn’t a fuel tank explosion?

How about 2 Iranians with fake passports coerce the co-pilot into killing the pilot and taking the plane. Instead of the co-pilot takinheck troll of the plane, he is killed also and now you have 2 Iranians with no experience flying a plane at 600MPH. Last thing the co-pilot does before he dies is take the plane off autopilot.

No flying experience, no radio experience the plane stays aloft for as long as possible before it the terrorists pull back the stick. It stalls and nose dives into the ocean.

Plane is off course, no debris and under a few hundred feet of water.

I was thinking that Putin might want to pin this on us.

That could be it.

I'm leaning toward a bomb on the plane.

Wow. I guess that we will know soon. Hopefully it ends well.

The latest news indicates the transponder was deliberately shut off and the plane ‘diverted’ from its course in a major way. Like 9-11, but what was their target out in the South China Sea, Hong Kong?

The most likely scenario is the the comms mast on the underside of the fuselage separated from the plane. This seems to be a known weakness due to improper use of adhesives and there is supposedly an AD for this issued by the FAA. With no comms and small hole in the fuselage, the cabin gradually decompresses and incapacitates the crew. They turn back and program the autopilot to descend, then go to sleep. The plane goes down to 3,000 feet, levels off, and flies into the Indian Ocean until the fuel is exhausted.

Occam's' Razor says the simplest explanation is usually the right one.

If the plane was high jacked and subsequently shot down, we might assume there was some consensus on that decision.

Given it could happen again tomorrow, it’s not in any government’s interest to second guess that decision or the entity that was tasked with shooting the plane down.

If that were the case, wouldn’t the story unfold publically just like we’re seeing it unfold?

Yup.

What in the world do horns have to do with milk?

Reading through all of these threads today, I must say your comment makes the most sense. Tho not necessarily the Indian Ocean part.

My intuitive hit initially was something went wrong with the structure…which made no particular sense until I read your post here.

But what about the cell phones? How quickly would passengers go unconscious?

For an experiment, turn your cell phone off and drive about 20 miles. Then call your cellphone from another phone and listen to it ring. That is because of the way roaming works. And at that height, about twenty seconds if it was an explosive decompression. Most people were asleep anyway, and if the alarms for low pressure did not sound immediately because of a small leak, hypoxia would just creep up on them. The pilots have a separate oxygen system, but if this had been worked on and forgotten to be turned on, well...

Most cattle have cows without horns and bulls with.
There are exceptions. Texas Longhorns, Danish red, etc where both cows and bulls have horns.
But dairy cattle? Usually only bulls.
