'INTERFERENCE': Pilot in another plane was flying 30 minutes ahead of MH370 SEPANG: A BOEING 777 pilot, who was flying 30 minutes ahead of the missing Malaysia Airlines aircraft, said he established contact with MH370 minutes after he was asked to do so by Vietnamese air traffic control. The captain, who asked to not be named, said his plane, which was bound for Narita, Japan, was far into Vietnamese airspace when he was asked to relay, using his plane's emergency frequency, to MH370 for the latter to establish its position, as the authorities could not contact the aircraft. "We managed to establish contact with MH370 just after 1.30am and asked them if they have transferred into Vietnamese airspace.

Wonder if somehow transponder became faulty or was turned off? Of course this is not a full explanation and is probably not even the beginning of an explanation.
I wonder if the Muslim pilot put the plane into a fatal dive, yelling “Allahu akbar” just like another one did some years ago.
The plane that crashed had its wing smashed up on a runway a few years ago.
This would seem to imply something was wrong in the cockpit and the pilots weren’t following procedure.
yeah that was kind of my thought.... static, garbled, co-pilot voice.... then nothing.... I still tend to think Alluah Akbar
At 1:30 , 50 minutes into the flight, they already into Vietnam airspace. According to the reports, they fly another 1 hour and 10 minutes, approx 450 nm.
Weren’t or couldn’t
“There were a lot of interference... static... but I heard mumbling from the other end.”
Mumbling? As in someone not speaking clearly or does he really mean not mumbling, but distorted due to the interference?
That would make debris searching simpler.
Workplace violins?
Anyone else's hairs stand up reading that?
“Is there no radar tracking info to determine when and where contact was lost?”

Most likely out of range of any radar site.
There has got to be US Gov’t satellite data.
Both pilots were Muslim from the manifesto, the Pilot was 53 years old and the Co-Pilot was I believe 27 years old, for that theory to make sense the co-pilot must have been OK with plummeting to his death because no one said a peep, if I was a co-pilot on a plane and the Pilot was getting ready to off himself I would have been screaming bloody murder to the control tower
Anyone else's hairs stand up reading that?
Vessels on the water? Do we know where Kerry was?
Here’s my conspiracy theory - pilot takes a break, and co-pilot dumps the fuel...causing the fuel slicks that have been found. The deed is done, and nobody can wrestle the controls from him to save the plane. And they just fall out of the sky...but a little north of the fuel slicks.
Interference. Departed 30 minutes sooner means approximately 200 nm distance ahead. Pretty normal not to be able to make clear contact.
However, they fly another hour and ten minutes. There is absolutely no excuse for the aircraft in distress not to make a call. Even if he lost or forgot to mKe a call to center, when company called, he would or should have tried the emergency frequency and make contact.
“if I was a co-pilot on a plane and the Pilot was getting ready to off himself I would have been screaming bloody murder to the control tower”
Makes certain sense to you and I but remember the Asiana co-pilot last July that said nothing as the Captain flew that 777 onto the ground in SFO. And the co- was actually training the Captain on the type. Strange indeed.
That’s the key question.
