Posted on 03/15/2014 2:19:15 AM PDT by nickcarraway

The disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 has generated dozens of theories on where it is now, from the Indian Ocean to the South China Sea, and how it vanished. Here’s a rundown of what we know and what we don’t, along with clues and theories about what happened to the Boeing 777 jetliner:

THE WHERE:

— LAST CONTACT: Flight MH370 last communicated with air traffic control on March 8 east of Malaysia, and that area of the South China Sea between Malaysia and Vietnam initially was the focus of the search.

Here’s my theory, based on my information that the aircraft is the long range variant 777 with extended range of ~7200 miles.

The plane was hijacked,
The passengers are dead,
It is being re-fueled to use as a flying bomb.

I have seen no reports that indicated that the aircraft held enough fuel to fly that far. Have you heard otherwise?

I agree and for some reason I am wondering about Israel being the target...

much less load if no passengers and cargo, carrying only a bomb, therefore longer range.

Singapore Airlines Airbus makes it from Newark to Singapore because its business class only, 100 passengers/luggage +crew.

Greg Feith said on Today this morning there is no chance this plane traveled somewhere and landed safely.

I agree. An empty 777 200 model can fly for many, many hours. Could fly over the U.S., Israel. Loaded with a nuke, it could be detonated, hit with missiles, etc. while still in the air producing same results. Those 2 Iranians who carried only backpacks with their laptops on that flight. Stunk from the beginning.

I read on another forum that Australia has strongly suggested that it was something in the cargo which led to the hijack.

I don’t see why not. The Chinese islamic professor from Turkey was apparently able to fly it.

This book covers the same subject as the current events.

The 777 plane is in Africa being transformed into a gasoline bomb

The book is by my favorite author W.E.B. Griffin

Exactly what I thought. One of the lunatics running Iran said recently that the hand was on the trigger to put an end to Israel.

I wondered if the plane was headed there and God pitched it into the ocean.

I remember the money so generously given to Indonesia, in particular Aceh, after the tsunami. Perhaps used to rebuild their airport, if they have one.

It is being re-fueled to use as a flying bomb.

IMHO this is unlikely. It would be a very complex operation to do something like this and one that would probably be exposed. The same result could be accomplished through other, far easier means. An interesting theory but probabaly a bit too complicated to pull off.

They may repaint it and hip-hop it all over the place for cover, Iran, North Korea maybe for a nuke, Venezuela, Cuba.

It might end up right at our back door.
