I have a possible theory on why no one has found flight 370. Several years ago before enlisting in the NAVY, I remember talking to a A-6 Navigator about one of the pilots in his squadron crashing into the Med after losing his awareness at night. Now come word that 4 hours after losing radar contact that the engines on Flight 370 were still transmitting data to satellites, so my theory is that the flight was in fact hijacked and the transmitters turned off as the terrorists flew the jet at very low attitude until the terrorists lost their awareness and crashed into the sea at low speed, which would mean the aircraft is mostly intact and sank slowly. I believe that the aircraft is not in the Gulf of Thailand, but in fact somewhere in the Indian Ocean. As a former Aviation Boatswain Mate Handler, I saw several nuggets over the years lost their awareness at the last minute on final approach to the deck and have to take a waveoff from paddles and go back around, just a possible theory on why the plane has not been found yet.
“I speculate that the Muzzie capt. and f.o. were in on it with the two Muzzie Iranians...”
That’s just what I’ve been thinking. When I saw photos of the pilot and first officer and both had muzzie names... well, what other conclusion could you come to?
Sounds like some sleuth detective work needs to be stepped up. Look deeper into the backgrounds of those connected to this flight.
The ACAR could have been disabled. If it stopped after 4 hours, and they had 6 hours of fuel, its possible it was just disabled after a 4 hour period. From what I’ve heard, unlike the other systems, the ACAR cannot be disabled from the cockpit. You have to go down into the bowels of the plane and open the thing up to turn it off. Remember, the other two communications systems were turned off systematically, with about a ten minute gap between them, but both are accessible in the cockpit. Why the delay? Unless they planned to delay the systematic shutdown of communication systems to throw off the search.
I’m not sure why US sources are now saying they think it crashed in the Indian Ocean, unless they have info they have yet to release. That makes no sense to me. No system failure could explain the detour, and why go out that far to kill yourself? All the evidence we have points to a deliberate hijacking, and the pilots are looking increasingly suspicious.
Explain how at least one smartphone stayed online until sometime Monday according to one of the passenger’s relatives. Maybe the phone learned to swim?
Botched hijacking. It’s at the bottom the Indian Ocean.
I never believed those two Iranians were “seeking asylum” my butt they were..first of all, they entered Malaysia on February 28th using their legit Iranian passports..they could have continued flying to their destinations using their legit passports, they didnt have to spend money on stolen ones. They could have continued on their way(Germany, Amsterdam) and requested asylum.
Iran (and the NorKs) wants to nuke America so it can’t protect Israel anymore. What better way of delivering the payload than with a 777? And you don’t even have to miniaturize the nuke. All you have to do is squeeze it through the door.
Re-paint it, hack the flight computer to make it look like another 777 aircraft, file a fictitious flight plan and away they go!
Not to nitpick but the latest report I’ve seen regarding the engines reporting their status, is that they are supposed to report every hour and in this case the engines did not transmit any data but rather they continued to ping the satellites to get the ok to transmit, which apparently never happened. The investigators have no actual telemetric data reflecting how the engines were operating.
Also I would think to pull off something like this the pilots would have to be involved. Landing a fully loaded 777 at a remote location in secret and at night without transmitting landing aides would be far to difficult for some one not a fully qualified 777 pilot.
I took that into account too and if the plane did land somehow within that 4 hour, the most logical place along that route would be Burma as the nation is still mostly closed to the outside world like North Korea and within a 4 hours flight time window. Laos or even Cambodia is a possible, but you would have to hack up allot of jungle to land a 777-200 ER.
Exactly that is what I don’t get about this “They crashed into the Indian Ocean” theory..if the hijackers whole intention was to kill everyone on board, just take the plane and nosedive it into the China Sea..why fly it around for four hours, for what, to find the perfect spot to off yourself, nosedive a plane from anywhere and they are dead
What about a 911 style hackjacking that went wrong after the terrorists got lost out to sea. lost their awareness and crashed into the sea.
You gotta a good point there. If the plane was under water, I doubt those smart phones would have done any better than mine did when I dropped it in the Jacuzzi. It shut off within a few seconds, not days later.
On qq, it shows when your phone is on.
Better yet, crash it into the Petronas Towers
Not as crazy as it sounds, as Burma is along the plane’s range and Burma is an ally of both Iran and North Korea.
“I’m not sure why US sources are now saying they think it crashed in the Indian Ocean, unless they have info they have yet to release. That makes no sense to me.”
It is called disinformation.
Why hack up jungle? If this 777 is equipped for a Category 3c landing (no viz, no ceiling) then it would be easy for the Muzzies on the ground to set up the necessary equipment at the chosen landing spot and have them come on in with no lights lighting the runway dark and invisible and immediately park it in a hangar. Close the doors and no more airplane.
Did you see anything, Achmed? Nope, Mohammed. Didn’t see a thing!
