Yeah and I think we can get rid of the idea that this was some kind of pilot suicide..someone doesn’t fly around for 7 hours then decide to kill themselves..from start to finish this was an elaborate plan that was probably gone over again and again..just don’t know what the end game is..are the passengers still alive, probably not because people need food, how are these people being fed..they were probably dumped in a mass grave somewhere..the goal was to get that plane and that is what they got, who knows what their end game plan is for this plane
I'm think the terrorists are acting with State help... Maybe Iran or Pakistan... or others.
Terrorists wouldn't fly south (the easier way) because once there it would be impossible to fly to the secondary crime scene.
Usual targets for terrorists - - New York, London, or Israel can't be hit easily from some island in the Indian ocean. I'm guessing the target is Israel - they wanted to get close. When they started no one was looking for hijacked planes ... That's changed. Terrorists would know they had one shot. That all airspace would be watched from that point forward... They would have to get close to their target on the first try.
Airports in Pakistan can be reached in less than 7 hours. Did either pilot routinely fly the Iran or Pakistan routes from Kuala Lumpur? It would be interesting to know.
