OT - Malaysia Airlines loses contact with plane flying to Beijing

Thanks Wubba....Ive googled Fossett...I think his was an accident, and not what I was thinking of!

 

Footspa...you have been coming on to Swords for years...come on admit it....you have, you have, you have!!!

 

Countries aren't helping and that's a fact, the yanks will have tracked it and I think Vietnam knew the plane altered course days before but didn't tell anyone "because no one asked".

The plane landing for a terror attack wasnt my theory but one of an intelligence bloke, mind you they would think that as its great for them.

 

I've absolutely no problem with that whatsoever. In fact I think its wonderful. Who am I to stand in the path of true love?

The problem I have is when their on-screen dalliances start manipulating the progress of important discussions resulting in them going off tangent for a period, requiring more responsible members to step in and take the bull by his horn and drag the debate back on topic. There is a time and place for romantic flirtation and this ain't it. Come on folks, lets at least try and maintain a professional form of conduct here.

Besides, by the way he writes on here, its obvious all Flyer's interested in is a bit of S&M and I think he's leading our girl up the wrong path. I'm simply concerned for our Betty's well being, that's all. Is that a crime?

 

Two other bits of info, the pilots wife and kids moved out the day before, he was also a fanatical supporter of the opposition leader jailed for being gay the day the plane went missing.

Now the most logical thing is the pilot had a breakdown and that would explain everything.

If you want a conspiracy theory, someone shot it down to prevent a suicide attack which is why no one has found it because a country doesn't want it to be found.

 

Thank you for your concern...although I cannot speak for Flyer...I am perfectly Ok, no worries from me.


This is a thread about the missing plane...lets go back to it please.

A question for the experts out there...if the transponders were off...is the black box still recording afterwards...answer is yes isn't it?

 

Hadn't read that his wife and kids had moved out the day before. Where did you find that?

If true that changes all, suicide most likely but an incredibly evil and selfish act if so.

 

Taking the passengers with him that is. Not suicide per se.

 

I'm pretty sure the black box (which is really orange) will never be found.

Here's a link about the wife and kids.

Thanks for the link.

Hadn't realised there were 400kg of lithium batteries in the cargo hold either. Apparently they can be "unstable" at altitude.

Seem to remember Apple laptops spontaneously combusting a few years back with Jobs denying there was a problem of course.

 

I know, the more we learn, the weirder it gets.

Definitely the biggest aviation mystery I've seen.

 

Not just Apple, happened to a laptop I had a couple of years ago and that was Dell. Luckily I was home at that time.

 

Was that while charging?

I have a Dell with a cheapo replacement larger battery.

 

Since the end of the second world war, crash investigates have either found or suspected that pilot suicide is responsible for over 40 crashes. It's not uncommon.

 

Yes, while charging. I got a smell and the laptop was quite hot (nothing to do with content, I hasten to add!)

I unplugged it and brought it outside. Some damage was done to internal wiring and after a bit of haggling they replaced the laptop. One of the early Inspirons. I'm still using the replacement.

 

I think the QPR Not606 board owes Flyer a huge vote of thanks for spending all his time not dedicated to slagging off anything to do with the club to becoming an expert in aviation engineering, electronics and communications, together with military radar capability, and scouring every possible source for information about this baffling incident. I know this is the first place I turn to when searching for reliable, authoritative and sane updates.

Outstanding.

 

But if it was suicide, why wouldn't you just put the plane in to a nose dive, why did it carry on flying for several hours? Yes the US and Briton have military installations in Australia, it is hardly a hotbed for any likely military action. Land based radars, even the likes of the Cobra Dane type which is the most powerful land based radars, are all governed by line of sight, which means they can only see over the horizon. Even flying very high they wouldn't be able to see more than a few hundred miles. Only aircraft based radar such as AWACS can see up to 800 miles, but as I said, Southern Australia is only likely to be invaded by penguins.

As for satellites, yes spy satellites can give amazing detail and governments are probably unwilling to give away just how detailed, but that's not to say that they wouldn't be able to say they've spotted something. The problem with spy satellites is they travel in low earth orbit to obtain such clarity and they do so by focusing on a known area, so unless they knew where to look in the first place then they are useless. Any other type of satellite would only give images such as those yesterday.

It's easy to come up with wild theories when there's nothing else to base things on, but I must say, Flyer you seem to come up with more conspiracy theories than anyone on TV. Do you believe in the Roswell Crash?

 

I asked yesterday why the Malaysians hadn't asked for his assistance on the matter.

 

If the plane went down anywhere near the current suspected site, it's pretty deep there so it'd take a while. However, it would still be signalling for a long time, and so I'm sure they would eventually find it. The challenge is in picking up the signal, so that's probably dependent on finding some other debris or locating evidence first.

 

He may have wanted to go out in style, perhaps going for a big landmark. That would explain the huge climb to kill everyone on board.
Tell me exactly what happened, explaining the OK message 14 mins after the turn and the huge climb, I'm willing to listen.

As for Roswell, the yanks admitted they recovered a flying saucer. That is undeniable. They even said so in the paper and then the next day said it was a foil weather balloon.
You really think they couldn't tell the difference between a solid craft and a blow up balloon?

Again, I'm willing to listen to another explanation but like the plane, no one has to offered a logical explanation, just sarcastic posts like children.
