Search on after Malaysia Airlines flight vanishes

[JimC]

I'm not saying it is aliens but you know aliens.

Think of all the probing that is now occurring!

It really is the only option left

Course it's not.
Haven't you heard of pythons on a plane?

[DaveDodo007]

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH I HAVE HAD IT WITH THESE MOTHERFUCKING PYTHONS ON THIS MOTHERFUCKING PLANE. Everybody strap in, I'm about to open some windows.

Looks like hijack now. Over Indian ocean to...?

Statistically it's still the safest form of travel being at 30,000 feet inside of a thin pressurised aluminium tube, above a ocean full of hungry sharks.

Says the fucker who hasn't been anal probed by aliens.

They're getting pretty rare these days...

Now they're saying it was hijacked and steered off course: http://abcnews.go.com/International/wir ... d-22922755

Or is it a fetish that you can't own up to in polite society?

The next question is: Who hijacked it?

And why?

There's a wide range of possibilities isn't there. The crew? They must have had numbers to hijack a crew and control flight for several hours? They didn't want anyone knowing where they had gone? Was it a gold carrier? They may have used a decoy beacon to mislead authorities that it flew seawards? and actually landed it on a jungle based airstrip from WW2 that no one knows about. Shot the passengers and took 500 million in gold bullion. Could make a movie?

[pErvinalia]

I'd say that's the most likely scenario.

All of the old abandoned WW2 airstrips in the jungle I’ve seen now have trees growing out of them, and would not be long enough for a 777. The latest info suggests the plane was still transmitting pings for about 7 hours after the transponder was switched off. For some reason the satellite ping data is suggesting two possible corridors, one from northern Thailand to the Turkmenistan/Kazakhstan junction area, the other from Indonesia to a point in the southern Indian Ocean. The 7 hours suggests the plane flew to its full distance range (or was at least still switched on until that time), so unless it was circling or running on the ground, it is likely to have made it to the far ends of those corridors. The second corridor is a suicide route and makes little sense. If the goal was just to crash the plane to would have been more sensible to do it as early as possible, to avoid the risk of being overpowered. The second route could have plenty of potential hijack scenarios. The desert plains of Turkmenistan/Kazakhstan/whatever-stan have plenty of isolated dry lake beds etc where one might land a big plane. The crash beacon never went off. The 7 hours mean it might have been at least first light in those areas, much better for landing, though I haven’t checked that. Of course it was probably just alien abduction all along, and those anal probes are working overtime.

BTW the northern Thailand to Turkmenistan/Kazakhstan corridor is on a direct line to the Crimea, although the plane didn’t have enough fuel to get to there. Two passengers were Ukrainian, and one Russian. Probably just coincidence.

Have they still not found anything conclusive?
