KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) -- A Malaysia Airlines plane sent signals to a satellite for four hours after the aircraft went missing, an indication that it was still flying for hundreds of miles or more, a U.S. official briefed on the search said Thursday.

Six days after the plane with 239 people aboard disappeared, Malaysian authorities expanded their search westward toward India, saying the aircraft may have flown for several hours after its last contact with the ground shortly after takeoff from Kuala Lumpur for Beijing.

Except that the O2 masks will drop down, causing a pretty big WTH? moment.

IMHO Any country could buy one of these planes. So we need to look at who could not afford one. A pilot friend of mine say if it is not found soon, that it is a big world out there, start looking on ebay for parts. Somebody has that plane.

It just so happened that a friend of mine in Houston related to me this morning that she inadvertently called her friend whom she thought was at home in Houston.

It happened that this friend was not at home but traveling by bus in a group of American pilgrims in Rome, Italy. She was told not to call again but wait until she got back to Houston.

I don’t know what type of phone she used and I didn’t ask.

Since the flight captain was such an aviation geek that he had his own simulator in his own house, can anyone check out that unit to see what “routes” he might have been practicing on?

I would think that the unit is computer controlled and that coordinates input would still be in the computer.

Can anyone find out what visitors he might have had come to both learn and practice on his ‘personal simulator’?

Is this what Janet Napolitano was talking about when she resigned? What did she know and when did she know it? Would this lead to the One’s 3rd and 4th terms? Is this why agencies including the forest service and postal service and more were stocking up on ammo? There were major exercises in the Northeast corridor last fall to prepare for what?

Soon. In the next month or so.

My understanding is that it has to be flying again soon. Or systems will break down.

What do you think of the engineers from Freescale who were on the plane and what they know about the aerospace industry?

Excellent ideas. I hope someone is doing that.

freescale

this one is the most interesting, but I had thought all along that this could not be a coincidence

If you go back to my posts I have more links posted, one of one of the engineers on the plane. My original thinking was that they were being used or had things with them to be taken, but then I thought perhaps some of them were in on it.

And America is sending help to search for this airplane. Amazing! (sarcasm)

That’s probably the best solution to the mystery I’ve heard yet.

found this a.m. from AP ... missing Malaysian jetliner was deliberately diverted and continued flying for more than six hours http://news.yahoo.com/malaysian-leader-planes-disappearance-deliberate-064752321.html;_ylt=AniRXax8DT4n6PgGIHzStIgJVux_;_ylu=X3oDMTFxb29oY3RpBG1pdANBVFQgSG9tZSBUb2RheSBNb2R1bGUgMTEyMTEzBHBvcwMxBHNlYwNNZWRpYUNkdFRvZGF5VjI-;_ylg=X3oDMTFkcW51ZGliBGludGwDdXMEbGFuZwNlbi11cwRwc3RhaWQDBHBzdGNhdANob21lBHB0A3BtaA--;_ylv=3

So the Carlyle Group owns some of Freescale? That means George Soros’ name comes up, as he invested in Carlyle.
This is getting so weird.
