Someone on the airliner site asked if there were any Chinese deportees on that flight.
"Malaysia has now made available to the FBI electronic data generated by both pilots of flight MH370, including data from a hard drive attached to the captain's flight simulator, and from electronic media used by the co-pilot, Fariq Abdul Hamid, an American law enforcement official said to Reuters. The official, however, said he could not confirm that some data had been wiped from the simulator and stressed that there was no guarantee the FBI analysis would turn up any fresh clues.Missing Malaysia Airlines plane lacked $US10 upgrade that could have provided crucial satellite data for search
"The upgrade, which wholesales for about $US10 per flight ($10.90), would have provided investigators with the direction, speed and altitude of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 even after other communications from the plane went dark, said a satellite industry official familiar with the equipment.Missing MH370: Flight simulator’s info erased
"PUTRAJAYA: Most of the information from Capt Zaharie Ahmad Shah’s private flight simulator has been erased. Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar told the daily press conference at the Sama-Sama Hotel here that most of the data in the simulator had been erased on Feb 3, but experts were now trying to recover the data by tracing the forensic footprint. The IGP’s statement debunks a report in a daily which reported that five landing sites had been discovered in the MH370 pilot’s flight simulator. The daily reported on Tuesday that the simulator showed five landing sites in the northern and southern corridors of the ongoing search and rescue operation.
Gee, the FBI wouldn’t lie to us, would they?
Venture to say GAN could do that without being noticed. Any old hangers left there from WWII? International airport only used to shuffle chartered planes in when the spa-resort is in season
RC, Steve was an early source for intell that the plane did land! flew 3675 miles, and maybe shadowed Singapore airlines 68 to get to Central Asia.
Today’s diversionary info was that the plane headed south and went into the Indian Ocean. All the talking heads were in agreement.
Glad Steve is calling BS on the southern route.
It went north and so far 12 days have been needed for governments to deal with the truth and the after effects.
Also, Israel is taking no chances. And they have a great intell system.
He consulted with someone he trusts and posted that his shadowing idea was debunked.
Why go to Diego Garcia? There’s military there.
See #45,
I was thinking in my earlier post, someone says “south” when it really went north.
You wouldnt go to Diego unless you were in cahoots with CIA/NSA/DOD/DHS...etc.
I find that theory hard to believe.
I do believe we are capable of such a thing...but in this instance...with all the circumstances...hard to believe.
As a fan of computer games and Sims, people don’t normally delete saves. People rarely go in and clean out game data. Its not unheard of but not necessary because game saves are pretty small, especially with todays storage sizes. I’m hardcore about keeping my PC clean and tuned and I rarely delete game saves... Almost never. Very interesting. If he deleted those files then left, those files will still be there and can be recovered. If he was a power user and planning something, he would secure wipe the drive.
You my FRiend are the first person that I have made contact with than can factually confirm that, “ you know your S-IT”!
Have you a valid analysis, of that pile that sits in the Oval Office?
Good evening kind Sir/Mam.,
Well, let me qualify...a terrorist might try to go to Diego for some reason but we would have blown them out of the air, etc.
So could be we are trying to cover that up...but still think it is something else.
Hmmmm? Wonder where pilots family landed /s
ELT(emergency locator transmitter) is activated upon impact. If the plane hit the water vertically going 500 mph or so the time of initial impact of the nose of the airplane with the water and the time the ELT(located in the tail) hit the water would be microseconds. Not enough time to get a signal out.
Now if the plane performed a controlled water ditching the ELT should have had time for at least a few seconds of transmission. Only problem is was there anything out in the middle of nowhere listening. It would also require more than one facility, satellite, ship, other airplane, airport, etc. to triangulate the signal in order to get a reliable location.
When it sinks, it starts a sonar pinging signal that can last ???? days before the batteries go dead. I think up to 30 days.
So if it is in the Indian Ocean and it is pinging..how long and how hard is it to find it?
It was “SPONTANEOUS”!
Just like Benghazi. Shazzam!
Looks like a jpeg picture URL try using < > img etc with it in middle
“Its like the old joke about the cat’s on the roof and we can’t get it down.”
Ha! Except in the real-life punchline we won’t get the easing in of the news.
If you were playing, you would pick a challenge rather than say Paris
When you play, you play
