This jet was taken by people who knew what they were doing. I doubt they would go to all that trouble to dump the 777 in the Indian Ocean. They had to know they would be tracked by satellite during daylight hours after they shut all the electronics down. Right now surveillance is looking at every conceivable landing strip between Malaysia and Iran in the Indian Ocean and Gulf of Arabia. Flight 370 landed and was refueled and flew as quickly as it could to friendly Islamic airspace over Pakistan or Iran. It would draw to much attention to be anything less than state sponsored activity, but to what end. Any manner of diversions could be created to allow this 777 to penetrate airspace on a non-war footing that we or our Government or Military have not contemplated, but the chess playing death wishing mohammedan’s have. Whatever is going to happen has been set in motion? Iran has planned this out with Russia and we are focused on Ukraine. Iran has nukes they are ready to test on somebody’s front yard. Israel has warned us and Obama is an idiot and a coward and we cannot suffer these fools for much longer. Would the Iranian’s screw their new Chinese friends knowing most of the passengers were Chinese? If we find the FLT370’s final location by surveillance in Iran how do we prove it? Do we send in a drone strike over Iran? Did we after Iran captured one of our stealth recon drones? Or do we give Israel the green light to strike Iran and take out the centrifuges, the stolen 777, and the nuke material? Do we send in a commando raid and strike? Somebody knows and they are not speaking and wish that the WSJ never leaked the data link story about the FLT370 staying airborne. The fruitless search and recovery of black boxes was a better cover story. Build yourself a quick Faraday cage out of tinfoil and a paper box.
Not to pick nits but those satellites that can see down in the daytime can also see the huge heat signature the triple seven is going to radiate at night. I still say some of our satguys know which way this thing went——but they aren’t going to say directly to avoid tipping their hand. Just kollow the USS Kidd. It knows where it’s going.
