Malaysia Airlines MH370: Confusion over plane last location
BBC News ^ | March 12, 2014

Posted on 03/12/2014 2:54:14 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

Search teams are scouring waters off both sides of the Malaysian peninsula, amid confusion over a missing Malaysia Airlines plane's last known location.

Malaysia's air force chief has denied reports that the plane was tracked to the Malacca Strait in the west.

Vietnam has despatched a plane to investigate an eyewitness report of a possible object burning in the sky east of Vietnam. --SNIP--

On Wednesday, Malaysia's air force chief Rodzali Daud denied remarks attributed to him in local media that a missing Malaysia Airlines plane was tracked by military radar to the Malacca Strait, far west of its planned route.

Gen Daud said he "did not make any such statements", but the air force had "not ruled out the possibility of an air turn-back".

Meanwhile, Vietnam said it had deployed aircraft to investigate a possible sighting of the plane.

Doan Huu Gia, deputy general director of Vietnam's air traffic management, said: "We received an email from a New Zealander who works on one of the oil rigs off Vung Tau.

"He said he spotted a burning [object] at that location, some 300 km (200 miles) southeast of Vung Tau."

If the plane had its own Facebook page we’d know exactly where it is and what its been eating.

And yes, there is very much a possibility that the airplane was hijacked. Anything is possible with the "known" facts.

But the past few days, sitting here and being amused, oh i am sorry, absorbing many of the inane comments, i thought i would share some thoughts on a practical level the general public is rightfully and understandably not aware of.

40 years in any industry, you really do get to see alot of bad things. They do not happen regularly, but they do occur.. Repeatedly

My BURMA SHAVE posts are particularly inane.

I'm rather proud of them.

If you lost

Your airliner

It might be

In southern China

BURMA SHAVE


Somewhere there’s

A missing plane

And the searching

Was all in vain

That’s because

It’s now a missile

With a payload

That’s plenty fissile

BURMA SHAVE


If your plane

Just went away

And you searched

Both night and day

On Islam

Your hopes will pin

More specific:

The Iranians

BURMA SHAVE

“My apologies. My funny comment was directed to Lazamataz sarcastic comment. NOT re the crash.”

Thank you. There are many other professionals on this site who could expand those thoughts based upon their own experience. Most choose to be quiet, listen and learn.

We know the true facts will not not be known for a very long time.

No cover up. Just the way the system works. Takes alot effort, time, resources to learn the truth in these matters

A test nuke attack by Iran hmm.

That’d have a radioactive signature.

My non-conspiracy theory is that of a similar fate to golfer Payne Stewart’s private jet crash in 1999. They lost cabin pressure and all passed out, but the plane flew for 1500 more miles before crashing in North Dakota.

It was not known why they lost pressure, but it was surmised it was so fast they did not have time to put on 02 masks.

So maybe a small meteor or some space object hit the plane and it was suddenly depressurized but kept flying itself, out of radar range, somewhere in the Pacific, until crashing.

Yes, I agree -- and I have citations to back my view.

By that I assume you'd hit the two Australian blondes who previously hitched a ride with the MH370 pilots.

So it’s possible it is one of the loosely affiliated CIA companies.

Or, everyone could have been suddenly “Gassed” or “asphyxiated” and the plane kept flying.

I guess anything is possible. Will we ever really know what happened?

And NSA/IRS/ACORN would know exactly where MH370 is if there were any Tea Party conservatives on-board.

Wow, Thank you for the clarification. You see again, i was under the mistaken thought that nothing good had happened. But with your input, i see a different point of view.

By the way, i never find your comments inane. Entertaining, thoughtful and ok entertaining. :-)

I think you are thinking of the truism that "no good deed goes unpunished".

Since the Malaysian Airlines MH370 cannot be defined in any way as a 'good deed', no punishment need be meted out.
