Israel Prepares for Possible Attack by Hijacked Malaysian Plane

According to the Times of Israel, Israel's Channel 2 has revealed that Israeli air defenses have been boosted, and approaching civilian aircraft will be asked to identify themselves far earlier.

Though the flight was presumed at first to have crashed, whole or in pieces, into the ocean, passive satellite transmissions from the aircraft suggest that it made a deliberate course change and may have headed north into central Asia.

Pakistan has already said that the flight never registered on its radar, but at least one expert has suggested the flight could have landed in Bangladesh, whose air defenses presumably would be weaker.

Though the possibility that the Boeing 777 could be used in a terror attack is mere speculation, it is evidently being taken seriously by Israel.

Well yes, when I say straight down, I mean as straight down as a full speed 777 can do. It would still be an incredibly fast descent if done on purpose and not much could stop it given the lower profile.

Thank you Yosemitest, for the excellent, detailed post!

All y’all, ping to this post!

[Ripliancum]

Most likely yes, but what a juicy target for our enemies. A plane as big as that could certainly do fatal damage to a carrier. The low odds might be enough if they thought they could pull it off, relying on inertia and luck after being hit with missiles to hit the target.

A plane that big would destroy a Carrier if it could get in a certain position to pull it off, and if filled with explosives would be shot by fighters miles away and make a spectacular display, but at least the mystery would be solved once and for all.

Time to watch container ships.

They are all Earl Scheib paintjobs. 30 yrs acft maint. Where’s the fuel truck ticket?

Even if it raises suspicions no one is going to shoot down a passenger airliner until/unless there is certainty that it is a hostile.

Didn't China shoot down a passenger jet a few years go?

[Ripliancum]

It wouldn’t need to be filled with explosives. If it went full throttle down from 40k feet it would do the job on it’s own. Heck, fill the cabin with as much hardened steel as it could lift and it would punch a hole right through all the decks.

The chinese supposedly have a carrier killer high altitude warhead that does same thing using inertia, no explosive.

As a FReepeer posted yesterday, beware of any 777 with an Earl Scheib paint job.

Thank you for noticing.

But really think about this information below.
Take a close look at this graphic.

Previous ACARS data Mar 17, 2014

In the world of Air Traffic Contgrol, "Attention To Detail" is everything.
Being accurate FIRST is everything.
Being safe is everything.
Speed comes later, but accuracy is a must.

Now for other career fields, accuracy isn't stressed as much.
Now let's ASSUME that, in the speed of getting out the information, that graphic is built on the WRONG degree off of that satellite.
Look what that would do to the search area.

What if a Muslim sympathizer was in the chain of people that disseminated that information.

And take a look at the fuel capacity of the different models of Boeing 777-200,

Maximum Fuel Capacitycan be from 31,000 U.S. gal (117,340 L) to 45,220 U.S. gal (171,170 L) to 47,890 US gal (181,283 L), depending on the configuration,

and that can give it a Maximum range (at maximum payload {because MH370 might have weighed less, giving it a LONGER range} ) of from

5,240 nautical miles (9,700 km, 6,027 miles) to 7,725 nmi (14,310 km, 8,892 mi) to 9,380 nmi (17,370 km, 10,793 mi), depending on its configuration.

So the search area may change,

but since we don't know the exact configuration of that particular aircraft,
and we don't know if the Malaysia Officials are revealing ALL of the facts to us, or being honest with us,

we MUST assume the WORST.

Yosemitest, again my thanks!

All y’all, ping to this post! Very important; puts way more places in range!

[Yosemitest]

My pleasure.
I'm just trying to help catch these VILE and EVIL people.
May God bring their own trap of destruction ... down on their heads.
