Maldives 'witnesses' report seeing 'low flying jet' on morning that MH370 disappeared - follow latest updates on missing Malaysia Airlines plane
(Excerpt) Read more at telegraph.co.uk ...
I don’t care how beautiful it is, I’d never travel to a Muslim country.
Flight time from say Ho Chi Min City (Saigon) is a little under 5 hours at jet cruise. But presuming they were flying low, the total flight time would be higher.
Go with 5 hours +/-.
Do the time zone changes and flight times make sense?
Me neither, but we don't know what happened, so we HAVE to speculate.
Anyways to answer your questions:
So.... where is it now?
That is THE question. Methinks its in the drink. If not, it already was fueled and took off with Muslim terrorist sympathizers.
Did they see/hear it take off again?
Maldives archepeligo is massive. It is very doubtful the same witnesses saw it took off again.
How did it get refueled?
Pre-planned sympathizers?
Were passengers offloaded? (if you’re going to steal a plane, logically you’d ditch the passengers).
Not if they were going to kill them via asphyxiation at high altitude.
If its terrorism.... how come no one has claimed responsibility, demanded ransom, etc etc.?
Because they need the plane for their next attack? I dunno. I just don't think the terrorists we are fighting are this sophisticated/lucky. I'm thinking mid-air emergency, crew dead, autopilot ran until fuel out. I’m not buying it.
I’d buy that if it weren’t for the pilot’s political activism.
think about it....a mystery B777 lands at a public airport, surely would attract attention....I feel that the aircraft had problems, like an explosion/fire, that decompressed the aircraft...and the situation went downhill after that...
Rest assured, that Boeing, will find the aircraft and the black boxes....
I’ve always wanted to go to the Maldives. Until I learned they were controlled by the Muslims.
Still, if they asphyxiated the bodies... you gotta get rid of them. Would YOU want to fly around with 230 rotting corpses? So, if they landed, logically they offloaded the bodies. Where are they?
There's the rub: would they even have had enough fuel to start in the right direction, loop back, fly at low altitude (using much more fuel), and THEN get to the Maldives. Not likely.
Max range of a 777-200 is 5,240 nautical miles... with full fuel.
How do they refuel the plane without anyone knowing?
the Goodfellow theory here:

If this sighting is bona fide, it fits this theory. Pilots had a fire/smoke event, turned plane for the near Palau Langkawi runway, were overcome by smoke before they could land plane and plane kept going (passing over Maldives) until ran out of fuel and crashed in Indian Ocean.
Remember, we are dealing with death-worshipping muzzies here, first. Second, I think they WOULD get rid of the bodies for weight/range but that would be a monumental undertaking in strength and manpower....almost inconceivable unless there were many hijacker/terrorists. I've done fireman carry drills in full-battle rattle. I'd be pooped after carrying 10 bodies and possibly muscle fatigue/failure.
This is going to be the BIG mystery of this century if never found.
I guess I'll sum up what a former CIA guy said on the news this morning, "If it is terrorism, it ain't the same type of terrorists ive been hunting and killing since the mid-1990s....they aren't that technically proficient, smart, or lucky".
That makes all the sense in the world. Good read.
Wouldn't want to be there when a tsunami hit.
Doesn't sound like the right direction.
"UPDATE: Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370: Officials Say Plane's Route Changed Via Computer Program Run By Someone In Cockpit; Police Find Indian Ocean Runways On Pilot's Simulator
By Sneha Shankar on March 18 2014 1:11 AM
Update as of 12:20 a.m. EST: The Malay Mail Online, citing a local news source, Berita Harian, reported Tuesday that authorities investigating the flight simulator found in the home of Zaharie Ahmad Shah, the captain of the missing Flight MH370, had found five practice runways located in the Indian Ocean.
“The simulation programmes are based on runways at the Male International Airport in Maldives , an airport owned by the United States (Diego Garcia), and three other runways in India and Sri Lanka, all have runway lengths of 1,000 metres (3,300 feet)," the source reportedly said, adding: “We are not discounting the possibility that the plane landed on a runway that might not be heavily monitored, in addition to the theories that the plane landed on sea, in the hills, or in an open space.”"

The runway at the International Airport in Maldives is 10,000 feet+ in length. See post above.
Malaysian Air Force that its military radar tracked the plane as it passed over the small island of Pulau Perak.
If you draw line from where the aircraft turned and the island of Pulau Perak you will hit Maldives.
The engine pings put it a long way from there and engine pings are a lot more reliable than someone who claims he saw something.
I saw Big Foot once. Or was it twice?
