Missing MH370: Investigators Conclude Plane Was Hijacked, AP Reports
Malaysia Star ^ | Saturday March 15, 2014

Posted on 03/14/2014 9:43:30 PM PDT by nickcarraway

According to the Associated Press, a Malaysian government official has confirmed that investigators have concluded that one of the pilots or someone else with flying experience hijacked the missing Malaysia Airlines (MAS) flight MH370.

The official, who is involved in the investigation, says no motive has been established and it is not yet clear where the plane was taken.

AP is reporting that the official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to brief the media. The official said that hijacking was no longer a theory: “It is conclusive.”

The aircraft’s communication with the ground was severed under one hour into its flight on March 8 from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.

Take the plane to 43,000 feet and watch the passengers die from hypoxia, or at the very least, put a good scare into them.

If the plane attacks China who do they retaliate against?

If the plane attacks America who do they retaliate against?

If the plane attacks the Russian Federation who do they retaliate against?

Greg Feith said on Today this morning there is no chance this plane traveled somewhere and landed safely.

Yes. Funny how things only seem to get clearer (?) when US “experts” get involved.

BS....... secrecy is a necessary tool

You had no right or reason to know what was afoot

If it had crashed, the ELTs would have activated.

But they didn’t.

That means it didn’t crash, rather, its landed somewhere.

interesting theory but he could not maintain 450 elevation on that equipment with engines cut long enough to kill the passengers. would take like 15 min lacking O2 to kill someone
If masked dropped and they have 10 min O2 they could live or be knocked out and comea round when he dropped to 23. I do see your theory however. How to kill off the cabin without people fighting to get control of the plane or signalling by cell or email..... hmmmm

Latest report I’m seeing coming out of China is that the plane time of disappearance was particularly suspicious because it was right at the time and place where it crossed airspace and exchanged air traffic control between Malaysia and Vietnam. That’s why it took so long for people to realize something went wrong because neither air traffic control was monitoring it, Malaysia assumed Vietnam had taken over while Vietnam didn’t know they were supposed to have it. That’s why an anomaly would normally be detected immediately was not noticed until about 1 hour afterwards. And at that point the place could be hundreds of miles off its course.

If that information is correct, that means this thing was meticulously planned. This was not some fly by night operation. The reason why information has not been forthcoming could be that those in charge of the investigation don’t really want to reveal what they know because it might alert the perps.

Well, actually…< / humor >

Seriously, you are right that the handoff that didn't take place makes this look planned.

Is it too hard to believe that whatever any government knows factually won’t be released?

Others have said it better than I can: everybody knows more than they are saying because they don't want everyone else to know how good (or bad) their intelligence is.

I guess that stops only once the aircraft is located and shown to the public.

Well, quite a few things, which one are you thinking of?

I think it’s 50-50 that we will never find out what happened.

My working theory until something else supplants it:

The co-pilot with only 1,800 hours was part of the hijack team. The plane was hijacked but the passengers fought back, and 370 crashed into the ocean. By the time floating wreckage is found, it may be 100s or even thousands of miles from where the plane hit the water. By then the pinger on the black box is long-dead. We may not find the undersea wreckage for years, decades, or ever. We may never find out what happened. 50-50.
