I agree that could be possible. And I think it’s AT LEAST as likely the plane could’ve landed somewhere(for whatever reason) as it is the plane was ditched in the southern Indian Ocean.

But I’m also looking at the reports that the General is citing(the publicly available ones), here is part of the first report on the ‘possibility’ the plane landed in Pakistan, per the source McInerney keeps citing, LIGNET: http://www.lignet.com/InBriefs/Malaysia-Hunts-for-Missing-Jet-in-Pakistan-Israel-

Not exactly definitive.

Here is another story that the LIGNET report mentions from the UK Independent: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/missing-malaysia-airlines-flight-mh370-net-widens-as-pilots-passengers-engineers-and-crew-investigated-9195320.html

In addition to contributing almost zero information, the UK Independent story seems to be based entirely on the ‘possibility’ the plane overflew Pakistan strictly on where the upper channel of flight would’ve been when plotting the last 7-8 hours of satellite pings. The report seems to NOT have been made based on any definitive information the plane landed in Pakistan.

I’m not saying it didn’t land in Pakistan(or somewhere else). But relying on these reports seems thin. LIGNET does seem to have some serious people behind it, but they are all retired and hence still secondary sources. IF in fact McInerney does have other confidential sources who are confirming the Pakistan landing, then that’d be real news, but the publicly available LIGNET report and the UK Independent report that the General cites are next to worthless, IMO. The Boeing official could’ve said, ‘No comment,’ but instead issued an outright denial that they ‘had no information that substantiates that claim.’

So in essence as I see it, STILL no hard info, meaning the plane could STILL be just about anywhere at this point.
