What would motivate 10 plus countries NOT to find the plane in any hurry? => 2, 3 maybe 5 colluded in a decision to shoot down a rogue plane. Bad news for every country in the world because the first question at every press briefing world wide will be: “Does the government have a periodical/contingence plan for shooting down a high jacked plane?”
Let the wreckage soak good and long, it’s serves the greater good. The alternative, the admission that a small group of governments decided to shoot down a rogue airliner, represents a paradigm shift historically/economically.
Let the debris soak good and long, we can investigate and effectively deny the reality for at least a decade to come.
Does anyone really think the shoot down of an airliner wouldn’t happen sooner or later...really?
I’m going to make a really speculative remark that they know precisely where that plane is and are trying to figure out what to do about it. All this running around from one ocean to another is a stall tactic. The whole thing is bizarre.
Thanks for the info, 4everontheright!
Another pingout to all y’all!
” If it was ransom why hasnt there been a ransom note and where did it land?”
OK, so maybe the motive is ransom and they landed on some island and are now shuttling the rich Chinese to a secret location so that the military can’t intervene.
“fight to regain control ensues”
That could be it. If passengers knew there was a take over, they had hours to figure out a plan to respond. Like Todd Beamer.
“OK, so maybe the motive is ransom and they landed on some island and are now shuttling the rich Chinese to a secret location so that the military can’t intervene.”
So the plan is
1- Hijack a jumbo jet in flight.
2- Secretly fly it to a hidden location and somehow land it at a 3rd world dirt runway (undetected).
3- Hide the plane and hostages from Satellite/ radar/ electronic survellence from several major govts.
4- Blackmail the Chinese govt for money.
Yeah, that could work.
Hijackers tried to fly under the radar, but failed to account for the huge increase in fuel consumption due to high tropical temperatures at low altitude. Ran out of fuel and crashed.
Maybe a couple of rogue pilots decided to make a play and “graduate” to a better option than 72 virgins.
Those islands have a population density slightly more than Pennsylvania and slightly less than Florida. They cover a total land area only slightly larger than the state of Delaware, are dense jungle where not densely populated and have a very limited number of places where a jumbo jet could even consider landing.
Obama will send a 777 to the Ocean coordinates and blow it out of the sky so a debris field will shut off all the questions making a lot of spooky dudes very nervous.
Will the hijacked passengers held captive have to pay for their bag of seven pretzel sticks and half a can of coke?
Sample sales meeting:
Hi there, my name is Ahmad, I am with the Pakistan Al Qaeda Peace Ministries. We are interested in purchasing a retired 747 for our annual awards dinner in Las Vegas.
Can you show me a few models?
That’s it. Now we wait for their story, and try to infer what we can.
There’s no reason for engine maintenance data to include time or position; more likely it would include altitude, temperature, throttle position, airspeed, engine speeds and temperatures. Time is mostly irrelevant, but could be added when the data packet is received.
GPS receivers need an antenna that has a clear view of the satellites.
If you’ve got a hand-held GPS receiver, try using it inside a building, away from the windows.
There may be no reason for time/lat/lon, and that is precisely why it “shall” be included. I’m just picturing the requirements for a DO-178-A or B compliant device including this stuff. No real good reason, just regulations.
If there’s requirements for superfluous data, then those requirements have to be implemented and tested, and space for them allocated in the transmission time schedule.
I don’t think they’re transmitting anything that they don’t have to.
