I'm a RADAR tech with FAA and land-base Enroute RADAR can't track the entire flight so who ever did this knew there was a hole in the RADAR coverage that they could escape through.
The co-pilot had a simulator at his house. Maybe a search of the computer can tell what kind of simulations he was practicing, like maybe low-level flight under the RADAR.
The morons who hi-jacked the 9/11 planes practiced for up to 5 years before they acted.
That is a most interesting theory and makes sense to me.
.
That’s one neat theory.
That could work. A couple of times I flew formation flights through controlled airspace, and they had us turn off all but one transponder so as to present only one radar image.
That’s interesting but isn’t most radar used today advamced enough to detect two aircraft even when they’re flying close together, especially military radar?
Turkmenistan ranks second to last in the world for press freedom, second only to North Korea. And, it’s 89% Muslim and formerly under the boot of the Soviets. It would probably be a good place to hide a plane and hatch a terror plot.
That is exactly why you steal a 777 and than use it days later to sneak a 10 Megaton device into friendly airspace in the same manner you used to take the plane.
Writer mentions Xinjiang Province as a possible landing zone. Wikipedia describes it:
Xinjiang (Uyghur: شىنجاڭ, ULY: Shinjang; Mandarin pronunciation: [ɕíntɕjɑ́ŋ]; Chinese: 新疆; pinyin: Xīnjiāng), officially Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region,[3] is an autonomous region of the People's Republic of China in the northwest of the country.
This really thickens the plot, as just a day or two after the plane went missing, Uyghur terrorist group claimed that they were responsible. That particular piece of news came and went with no followup. Uyghurs are the unruly Chinese muslims who are at odds with the People's REpublic gubmint.
Just exactly who were the Chinese passengers on that plane?
Very plausible theory —
I believe your link on this is correct! That plane piggybacked to another planes shadow ID and that 777 better be found fast because the plans of whoever high-jacked it could more than likely be devastating!
Ooh, that is plausible! What a smart thinker he is.
Very interesting theory. Thanks!
Thank you for that.
It makes sense.
Seems reasonable, thanks for the link.
