KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak said Saturday that a missing passenger jet was steered off course after its communications systems were intentionally disabled and could have potentially flown for seven additional hours.

In the most comprehensive account to date of the plane’s fate, Najib drew an ominous picture of what happened aboard Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, saying investigators had determined there was “deliberate action by someone on the plane.”

I think the saudi royals decided they wanted a new plane and wanted to pay the minimum this time. A backroom deal of sorts. They will find no shortage of pilots for their mission.

I saw a post where someone hypothesized that the plane would be painted and loaded with a nuke or explosives and flown into U.S. airspace and detonated. But how about just filled with innocent passengers and flown in so we shot it down and kill the passengers? Just a thought.

650 mph? Isn’t that close to mach 1 at 30,000 ft? If they were going anywhere near that speed, wouldn’t that dramatically affect fuel consumption and range?

My hunch remains that the flight headed to the remotest part of the southern Indian Ocean in order to have the plane disappear for as many years as possible and thereby permit no closure or blame.

Wonder why no contact with at least some of the passengers.

Could the terrorist have donned gas masks and released some agent to kill the passengers?

I still say they will find it in NW China with the rebels there.

“It suggests they might want to check into the people involved in fueling up the 777.”


This thought crossed my mind this morning. I’d be checking into that pronto.

I m still thinking it was not the plane they wanted..

there’s easier ways to get planes..

it was something on the plane they wanted..

.maybe the two guys with the fake passport were not the hijackers but the target of the hijacking...

.people use false papers when thier on the run..

.Iranian nuclear scientist defecting and on the run with secret information about their bomb program?

Next they’ll find the plane never took off.

If the hijacker flew the plane up to 45,000 feet and then depressurized the cabin manually (which you can do), the passengers would’ve suffered hypoxia in about 10 seconds and have died not too long thereafter. Meantime, the flight crew have separate oxygen tanks that he/they would’ve used to stay alive. It’s pretty much the quickest and most bloodless way to do a mass execution of the passengers without even having to watch it happen/march them one-by-one off the plane once landed/etc.

My money is still on this being a hijacking for the plane itself, not the passenger. They just happened to steal a plane that has the longest possible distance flown on a full tank of gas. At the weight of a flight crew, no passengers and a nuclear payload, the East Coast is well within range, even if they have to take the “long way ‘round” around the tip of southern Africa to avoid radar.

Your thoughts are realistic, far fetched....but realistic!!! I wrote the same thesis a week ago on another site.....mainly because I believe POTUS Obama and his entire administration are asleep at the wheel...intelligence wise. Any creative “Hollywood” producer or writer could come up with this possible scenerio. What I am saying is that the Obamabots in Washingotn and around the world never saw this type of action coming....The terrorists that hate America...certainly did!!! Why? Just look at the fiasco that occurred at Benghazi!!! The American people and voters are not-too-bright IMHO!!! We shall see!!! With all the technical advantage and skill available....Obama & his “keystone” either can’t find the aircraft...or more likely....they have found it and want to keep it secret from the American public because we could be in terrible harm’s way!!! How’s that Obama “Hope & Change’ workin’ out for you American folks???

7 hours? Tomorrow it’ll be 13 hrs and flying inverted. You know, I’m not a conspiracy theory kind of guy but this is getting a bit ridiculous.

“We’re letting you go to show we are not heartless people! So we’re putting you on this other plane and sending you on your way!”

Yeah, repainted and with certain tweaks to make it basically a flying bullseye.

The plane was "confirmed" (whatever that means) as ascending to 45000 feet for a time.

If the hijackers 1) sealed the cabin door, 2) ascended to 45000 feet, and 3) vented the passenger compartment, then all passengers are dead in a couple of minutes.

Now it’s possibly 7 hours.

This is the ‘cat stuck on the roof’ information leak method.

The fresh coat of paint itself could be the radar-absorbent variety.

It sounds like it could have ran out of fuel and crashed, too. It was reported to have had 7.5 hours of fuel.

In fact its starting to sound very much like a military black operation.. and the funny way goverment are not talking or giving conflicting information

The very act seem "Israeli" for boldness...

then when you put the two Iranian guys on fake passports in to the mix..again iran nuk program?

.but the you also have China in the mix...

it was headed to Beijing of all places..

if you wanted just any old plane...why did it happen to that particular flight...strange

again I'm thinking it's was not the plane........

it was someone or something on the plane they wanted
