hmm....the plane was probably on dry land when it last sent satellite signals.
tom clancy, you taking notes??

if he was, it would probably be a bigger story than a missing plane...
Hate to break it to you two but Tom Clancy died last year...

Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 dropped to altitudes as low as 1524 metres (5000 feet) using a dangerous flying technique called “terrain masking” to avoid radar in at least three countries, investigators believe.
Pilot's wife and kids moved out day before plane went missing
Air speed <> ground speedOne thing I'm puzzled by is the satellite data that describes a couple arcs where the plane was when it pinged last. I'm not puzzled by the limits of a single satellite but rather why they are only focused on the last ping. Shouldn't they be creating similar arc for ALL the pings? If the pings were at one hour intervals as I've heard they are then you could apply a little math to the arcs for all the pings and thereby determine a path.
Beginning with the first ping after the plane was lost and calculating the max and min distance the plane could have traveled between in that time they should be able determine a pretty accurate location on that first arc. Then, the second ping, an hour later, could only be so far away thereby limiting the size of the second arc. Continue this process for all pings and they should be able to determine the location of the final ping within 600 miles or maybe less.

It is odd the plane flew in a circle around a sat.
My thing is wont passenger cell phones also be pinging towers if they had ever gotten close enough to towers to be picked up. You would have to know a flight path through all cell phone dead zones. Granted it is flying in SE Asia so id imagine there are deadzones everywhere.
If country A has blow in it up, I am betting it will NOT volunteer that information until forced by the country B, C or D.
Most current theory I heard:
1. Co-pilot had life issues (disgraced)
2. Decided on a "non-disgraceful" suicide
3. Took out the pilot in-flight, turned off the transponder, flew out into the ocean, sunk it
Makes sense given the current data.

From what I've heard, Malays aren't into the whole "I disgraced my family" thing that's prevalent in other Asian cultures.

thought there was disgrace in islamic cultures?
Doesn't really fit the flying for hours though. Unless maybe there was some auspicious time or event (sunrise?) To wait for.
No it doesn't. If he seized control from the pilot why choose that flight path and use altitude changes to hide from radar?
The only thing that makes sense given the current data is that the plane is intact and landed somewhere.
Arnot said, "Why would you go turn off all communications and take the airplane into a million square miles of the Indian Ocean so it was completely untraceable? The number one reason to do that would be to spare your family the shame and disgrace of suicide."
