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.

Someone needs to run the numbers on the highest possible altitude of a Boeing 777 and a crude nuclear explosion at that altitude and the effects it would have on any country’s electrical grid, but primarily the United States’ and Israel’s grid.

I never underestimate China, and I know there were a lot of Chinese nationals on board, but why did China put out grainy satellite pictures claiming they were parts of the plane and when that was debunked tried to say there was an earthquake on the sea floor that could have been the plane which the US Geological Service laughed at? Why does China still insist on pointing in the opposite direction?

I also think if they just wanted to kill people, they could have crashed immediately after take off, killing people on the ground as well.

I think the odds are a terrorist group had a plan but crashed into the ocean attempting to carry it out. I don’t think it’s state sponsored because states have planes. BUT if you’re a terrorist group attempting to keep your ties with a terrorist state secret that some how has access to a nuke, some jet fuel and a landing and take off location what do you need— a
plane. Were it to have landed, though, I would hope US intelligence would know where it is. Also what was the planes cargo? Malaysia seems mum on that, and whatever it was it was originally headed to Beijing.

I didn’t say it could have landed there, I said crashed on approach somewhere close by.

All the sim time in the world won’t help an inexperienced pilot/hijacker if he has too much sink on the approach.

There is going to be a gathering of the world’s leaders at the Hague on March 25th for a nuclear summit. The theme will be “preventing nuclear terrorism”.

I need to check, but believe the service ceiling is 43,000 feet,

Yes i agree the backgrounds of the pilot and all the crew for that matter needs to be investigated in great detail.

Now that’s a laugh, considering that most of the U.N. is lead by Muslim Terrorists Countries.

Wouldn’t it be a booger in the bowl of salad if the plane went to Australia. Plenty of places to land and hide and to take off. And Oz could be a staging spot set up years ago to load a WMD,EMP or a nuke.

Because of many inflexible ways of thinking these members of the ROP are counting on doing the opposite, who on earth would dare go to Australia?

Yes, but Australia doesn’t match the last “handshake” from the satellite communication from its engines.

Also, the WMD is either, already ready to go in Pakistan, or being completed in Iran, with the help of German parts.
And Iran and Pakistan lines up with the last "handshake" from the aircraft's engines.

ROP has evolved, they may be counting on the Western Christian ego chest thumping mindset it HAS to go to Pakistan, Iran or such.

If I were a member of the ROP I would exclusively bet everything on just that.

To the point of spoofing engine data telemetry by a recording on a diversionary aircraft. And knowing full well all about ALL electronic emissions from the 777.

If true then someone on the ground filled the fuel tanks to capacity which normally would not have been done due to the original scheduled flight plan or they landed, refueled and put it back in the air.

Okay. So, what does he do with a planeload of angry passengers?

The ROP has no respect for infidels, unless they are useful as slaves, barter or human shields.

I hate to say it but all indications point to the flight crew going high enough to deprive the passengers of oxygen, even if the masks deployed they do not last for more than ten minutes, it been proved already the planes stayed at an extreme altitude higher than just ten minutes, more than enough time for the oxygen generators to run out, hypoxia occurs within 2 minutes.

“Cocos Island runway is large enough for landing and takeoff, and lies outside of normal transit radar coverage, controlled by a totalitarian, backward country, that isn’t friendly to outsiders”

Cocos is an Australian Territory, yes largely Muslim, but I think highly unlikely that is where that plane went.

Someone here made an observation, and it is indeed a chilling one.

If Iran or any sovereign nation launched a nuclear attack on the USA, we would retaliate. People here ask what is the purpose of stealing (hijacking) a plane when you could buy one? Hijacking a plane offers plausible deniability to any sovereign nation who wants to attack us.

Get some hijackers to hijack a plane (wink, wink, nod, nod.....we know nothing about it) and then fly it over to the USA with a nuclear bomb. Instant Plausible deniability for any nation.....they can attack us with out themselves be retaliated against. This is doubly scary considering who is in the White House now.

One more thing.....just because an Iranian guy with a stolen passport claims he is going to seek asylum in another country, we believe it? This could be all part of the plausible deniability for the nation state. They set this guy (and everyone who knows him) up with the story, and they are not at fault.
