Aviation Experts: we won't know anything until we find the black boxes.
News: According to officials; MH370 might have de pressurized and caught fire when disappeared from radar at which point two iranians with stolen passports might have hijacked the plane and possibly steered it way off course and then could have returned it back to its original course where it may have been struck by a meteor and probably crashed right where these fuzzy pixels are where a ufo could have captured it.

sounds accurate

Is Malaysia the final, official authority on this case? IMHO, they're not handling it well. Also, other countries are giving conflicting information regarding this incident and it's getting frustrating.

it's such a gong show, turning a tragic event into something people are joking about. i wonder if this apparent display of incompetence had a hand in the accident itself.

Is the US SOSUS net still working? Shouldn't it be able to pinpoint an airliner hitting the ocean?

i have a suspicion the US can give more information if it really wanted to, but it's understandable if it isn't willing to reveal too much of its surveillance capabilities.

Whenever they find out what really happened, Liam Neeson will be in the movie version called Flight 370.

I just hope and pray the passengers and crew are safe.

Or that their families get some real answers soon. This has to be horrible for them to go through.

Yeah, they're denying Chinese claims, in addition to the unofficial US claims. But China is standing by its claims. So WTF is going on? Aren't these governments supposed to make official statements instead of confusing the public?

Gov only wants to do that when it has solid, reliable information. That won't disclose national security assets. Or jeopardize a special forces mission. Cuz if this thing was tracked somewhere you know there are some seals planning a raid.

The data must have implications, they don't wanna disclose it without being certain.

Well, they're also "searching the indian ocean" - but if that circle is correct and accounts for how full the fuel tanks were, where is likely for the plane to have set down (if it set down under power, controlled and didn't crash)? I doubt India, Nepal, Australia and the Philippines are likely suspects.

But then why not stay mum about even tracking the plane altogether?

Iran has technology to fool GPS guided drones into thinking they are someplace else. Not saying Iran was involved, but the technology is out there to screw with at least some of the navigation systems in aircraft. Maybe another country was testing or actively using such a system and this plane was collateral damage.

My guess is they were hoping the plane was eventually crashed or ditched and would be found without the disclosure of the extra flight time.

Simple accident goes out the window with what we know now.

I know it kills you that I'm always right.

A senior source involved in preliminary investigations in Malaysia said the failure to find any debris for two days, despite dozens of vessels and aircraft crisscrossing the sea below the flight path, indicated the plane may have broken up mid-flight.


"The fact that we are unable to find any debris so far appears to indicate that the aircraft is likely to have disintegrated at around 35,000 feet," said the source.

Yeah, it kills me dave. You are such a loser. When are you going to learn to shut your pie hole?

that circle doesn't include beijing, so it's obviously not accounting for how full the fuel tanks were. that's probably the 4 hour radius. beijing is about 6 hours from KL via plane.

Way off there. The plane actually went through a rip in the space time continuum. The pilots had no clue. They simply lost gps and continued to their destination. However when they arrived, the destination city would not exist for 200,000,000 more years.*

I've no idea, but the government is definitely withholding information. Information that could potentially risk an operation. Look at the Iranian hostage situation, we may not know the full truth until many years later. Searching the Indian ocean could just be a pretext for positioning military assets.

Breaking News: They found the plane, it's been on a treadmill at the airport all along and never took off.
