Malaysia plane pilots, passengers back under scrutiny

The son of a high-ranking official in the public works department of a Malaysian state, Fariq joined Malaysia Airlines when he was 20.

He is a mild-mannered "good boy" who regularly visited his neighbourhood mosque outside Kuala Lumpur, said the mosque's imam, or spiritual leader.

The far more seasoned Zaharie joined MAS in 1981 and had logged 18,365 hours of flying time.

“Reports coming out of China that Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah’s wife and three children had moved out of the family home the day before flight MH370 disappeared.”

Bingo

Hasn't anybody considered the possibility of this:

The reason I mention announcements was that they had to make a sharp turn that might get noticed, and because by 5am or so it would start getting light out but no China in sight, just Ocean. At some point, you’d have to say something. Question: How secure is the door to the cockpit? If the passengers ever got wind of the plot, is there a way to break in, like the 9/11 passengers did?

This is starting to sound like a Clive Cussler novel.

I would keep checking on the Iranians, but so far their story checks out.

Suspect the two Iranians traveling with stolen passports are homosexuals seeking asylum from any number of muslim punishments, including execution.

I didn't think that they needed a sharp turn. Besides, a coordinated turn in an airplane (anyone can do it correctly with the autopilot's knob) does not shift your weight left or right, as it happens in cars. The passengers would only feel a slight increase in gravity, but that is a very small change, and it's night... Observation through the windows would be the only way to figure out the direction; another method would be to use a magnetic compass that many modern gizmos have (my Samsung tablet has one.)

by 5am or so it would start getting light out but no China in sight, just Ocean. At some point, you’d have to say something.

A hijacker would have an answer to that way before he begins his act.

How secure is the door to the cockpit? If the passengers ever got wind of the plot, is there a way to break in, like the 9/11 passengers did?

Flip the airplane a few times and there won't be anyone left to attack the door. But the question is larger than that, and it directly relates to the endgame. If the passengers are an unwanted burden (such as when only the airplane is needed) then none of them will be allowed to wake up in the morning.

Like the Boston Marathon bomber, young Muslim men can become radicalized in a short amount of time.

Obama was.

for a second I thought you were referring to Juan “crash” McCain

Ive heard of those kind of Muslims before, the ones who talk about being clean and pure yet go to strip clubs and get hookers every night

Yup. Some of them flew into New York one sunny September morning, as I recall.

Technical question for one more skilled in the art than I:

Do the emergency oxygen masks drop with a gradual loss of cabin pressure or only, as the safety briefing says, a sudden drop in cabin pressure?

Search no more, we got the culprit.
