The first turn to the west that diverted the missing Malaysia Airlines plane from its planned flight path from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing was carried out through a computer system that was most likely programmed by someone in the plane’s cockpit who was knowledgeable about airplane systems, according to senior American officials.
Instead of manually operating the plane’s controls, whoever altered Flight 370’s path typed seven or eight keystrokes into a computer on a knee-high pedestal between the captain and the first officer, according to officials. The Flight Management System, as the computer is known, directs the plane from point to point specified in the flight plan submitted before each flight. It is not clear whether the plane’s path was reprogrammed before or after it took off.
The fact that the turn away from Beijing was programmed into the computer has reinforced the belief of investigators — first voiced by Malaysian officials — that the plane was deliberately diverted and that foul play was involved. It has also increased their focus on the plane’s captain and first officer.

According to investigators, it appears that a waypoint was added to the planned route. Pilots do that in the ordinary course of flying if air traffic controllers tell them to take a different route, to avoid weather or traffic. But in this case, the waypoint was far off the path to Beijing.
Whoever changed the plane’s course would have had to be familiar with Boeing aircraft, though not necessarily the 777 — the type of plane that disappeared. American officials and aviation experts said it was far-fetched to believe that a passenger could have reprogrammed the Flight Management System.

I agree! Governments know WAY more than the drip we’re getting.
They could be trying to assess how BIG & VAST future plots are & how to stop them.
Oh, but 0 will keep us safe.
Seriously? Do you know how cheap it is to have a decked out flight sim in your house? Far cheaper than going through flight school. I have one. I haven't flown in ten years, but I flight sim regularly.
The ONLY thing I find that would put the word "ominous" into this pilot having a flight sim in his home scenario, would be that he's had plenty of time to practice his routes, precisely measure his fuel burn, and think through the entire scenario. Also knowing the entire airplane because he really flies it, makes him the likely candidate for pulling off this heist. He would know what breakers to pull to disable things, and his copilot is likely a co-conspirator. The two most knowledgeable people on the airplane are in the cockpit.
I find it hysterical how everyone is freaking out about how educated one must be to program the flight computer. You can teach yourself to do this on your flight sim. There could be a dozen people on board with an understanding of how to program the route. It's really not that hard. But the two guys in the front office do it day in and day out.
And would probably radio some sort of mayday.
You are the guy I look for on FR - someone who knows stuff. Is the news contained in the story (new "milepost") manually entered) significant?

Thanks kristinn.
i had a Microsoft simulator before 9/11 and before they removed the Twin Towers from the program.
This guy practiced how to mimic another aircrafts every move like a shadow. How to find a spot he could hold, how to make two aircraft appear as one.
The plane I believe is in Pakistan.
Meaning more so the powers that be which control media keeping it on flight news 24/7.
Thank you for taking the trouble to write out that lengthy and very clear explanation. I appreciate it.
Not too far off.
I believe they are going to try and make it appear as if the terrorist are planning their attacks in advance and then simply waiting for a news story to take place and then carrying out the attack based on what is in the news.
I believe it’s an attempt to explain the “spontaneous” lie with Benghazi and the other terrorist attacks where they tried to concoct a version of the “spontaneous” lie.
With the attempted car bombing of NYC in 2010 where Obama and co. tried to blame the TEA Party, there is 1 of 4 possibilities.
1. The dems. collaborating with the terrorist, orchestrated the stories of the TEA Party being ultra violent Tim McVeigh wannabes for the attack in order to blame the bombing on the TEA Party.
2. The terrorist simply picked up on the dems talking points in the news and “spontaneously” planned a fertilizer bomb to match the dems talking points.
3. The TEA Party did it as the dems claimed after the attempted bombing.
4. It was all just one big coincidence the fertilizer bomb matched the dems talking points before the attempted bombing of the TEA Party being a bunch of Tim McVeigh wannabes.
With the last airline plot in 2012, Obama tried to create a version of the “spontaneous” lie except the AP reported on the plot before Obama could come out with the announcement of the planned attack. The idea was to make it appear as if the terrorist had picked up on the protest in Florida over Trayvon Martin getting popped and “spontaneously” planned to blow up an airliner.
Then they tried the “spontaneous” lie with Benghazi. No planning just “spontaneously” carried out the attack from a protest in the news.
Following Benghazi there were 2 versions of the “spontaneous” lie with the Boston Bombing.
Then came the attempt of a “spontaneous” attack based on what was in the news with the Kenya mall attack.
The terrorist had been planning the attack somewhere around a year in advance.
Obama, out of the wild blue yonder, started talking about the need for more gun control and a few days later the terrorist launched the mall attack.
It was as if the terrorist were simply waiting for the right news story to launch the attack.
That is the version of the “spontaneous” lie I believe they are after to cover for the dems orchestrating the news for the attacks.
They want people to believe that the attacks are planned then the terrorist simply wait for the right news story to carry out the attack.
Logical problem solving (believe it or not, it used to be taught) would be that once all obvious solutions have been eliminated, it's necessary to look at the problem in a different way. What are the remaining possibilities?
One is that the feds and other govs are so busy reading our personal emails and butting into decent citizens lives that they can't find a huge airplane. The solution if that's the case is for these out of control surveillance groups to get their priorities straight. Stop spreading the globalist agenda that has enabled so many nutcase groups gain an upper hand.
The other possibility is that information is being hidden from us, and so few people know what happened that the information hasn't gotten out. That opens a possibility that there was something on that plane that is deadly or dangerous and it's being isolated. The new list should include anything that could've happened that makes it necessary that it be kept secret. I'm sure the ptb have a list of situations that they'd hide from us.
This "conspiracy theory" speculation is a positive thing. Everyone's so busy solving problems that have already occurred and ridiculing those that speculate on the unlikely that creative thinkers are always one step ahead.
But where’s the debris then?
The 239 bodies? The oil slicks?
Something would be floating somewhere and we would have seen SOMETHING.
In this day an age of Google Earth, GPS, etc...
Clearly people who wish to do great damage to the Republic have the upper hand when it comes to news and event manipulation. Especially when their cause is facilitated by the useful idiots within the MSM.
If the plane was hijacked and has landed somewhere, is there a way to “track” that particular jet? If it takes off again, heading on some sinister flight plan, will authorities be able to tell there is a rogue plane on the radar? Would it lack a “legitimate code” that regular flights have?

In ‘Boddie mansion’.....................
war also one off my theories posted Saturday....
for the first time I’ll post my theories.
1...85% leaning toward an electrical fire at the fuse panel in our underneath the cockpit. it disabled the comms and more. flight crew gets up to tackle the fire. as it spreads the coms go out one by one. Neglecting flying the aircraft, it climbs until it stalls then dives. flight crew regains control of the aircraft, turns autopilot go back to klp for emergency landing. they set autautopil poo to pilot again and continue to fight fire. Toxic fumes kill everyone and aircraft continues on autopilot until in crashes, out of fuel.
2- 15% chance was hijacked by pilots or others, destination deago garcia in a 911 event to take out the SAC base that took out so many Muslims. Only problem is the USAF saw them long before they got there and shoot them out of the sky. Therefore all the lies and misdirection so far is to stall, let the debris field settle and scatter so evidence goes away, so an alternate lie can be put forth so we don’t have to explain to the world why we shot a passenger plane out of the sky and be further hated by the world.
...but, them’s just my pet theories.
I have a question......
Why hasn’t anyone mentioned why didn’t any of the passengers use their cell phones?
Don't know txhurl why that info was withheld. I too learned the info today or rather now yesterday. Perhaps earlier was thought to be insignificant?
