Malaysia Airline MH370: 9/11-style terror allegations resurface in case of lost plane
Telegraph ^ | 3/15 | mendick

Posted on 03/15/2014 4:50:17 PM PDT by RummyChick

Evidence of a plot by Malaysian Islamists to hijack a passenger jet in a 9/11-style attack is being investigated in connection with the disappearance of Flight MH370

An al-Qaeda supergrass told a court last week that four to five Malaysian men had been planning to take control of a plane, using a bomb hidden in a shoe to blow open the cockpit door.

Seems like they (Muslim terrorists) usually work in groups of five.

Eh, if I had the resources, I would put together something like this.

If your passion is flying, a nice flight simulator at home can be a great substitute for the real thing.

As far as the sophistication of this setup, the two computers at the bottom are running the entire thing, one actually runs the game (Flight Similator X) with the other handling display duties of the cockpit panels. Theoretically there may be a few more computers, but they also just handle rendering the cockpit panels.

Try FSX sometime. With a yolk/joystick, it can be quite fun.

Not to defend him, but many hardcore gamers have rigs like that for car racing/flight sims. Some guys spend huge $$$ on custom cars, others on gaming rigs with 3 80 in screens. Seriously. Even gamers into Fallout/Skyrim/Call of duty have huge setups like this. All the components are readily available...pedals, yokes etc and have been for 15 years.

That said, if you want to train, there are worse ways to do it.

Possible they stuck the shoe bomb to the door lock with hi-tack tape. Enough to blow the lock, but not damage the fuselage.

Got in quickly & took control.

Thoughts on this anyone?

Avoiding a particular city would not work if they were using it for a nuke delivery system. They can do far more infrastructure damage by going as high as they can and setting of essentially an EMP.

makes me wonder if Hussein obama knows more than he is sharing??? just wondering.

Yeah, wonder if there's any connection with Prince Whatever of the Boston bombing. You know, the one who Moo visited in the hospital. The one who was reported to have had burned hands except pictures proved he didn't. The one who had the consulate and other interesting characters surrounding him. The one who, according to the logs, visited the WH more than the usurper. The one who may or may not be OBL's son. The one who was secreted away back from whence he came but maybe not.

I said from day one they’d blame the pilot. At this point, even with a shoe bomb from a passenger, they won’t want to officially admit that would be a possibility because hussein said there’s no more terrorists and cockpit doors are more secure than Ft. Knox (which may or may not have been plundered of all it’s gold). They’ll all play the cya game for the bad guys.

but if the transponders were turned off how could they find another plane to crash?

Maybe because they turned off both transponders and radar equipment and they were hoping to spot another jumbo jet with the naked eye but didn’t and had to ditch the plane after 7 hours of searching? So happy to hear that you're in McLean, Clint! My aunt & uncle are planning to move there from Edgewater, MD over the summer.... they too are saying FU to Merryland... their son (my cousin) lives nearby in Vienna. Best to you, Mrs. S and Clint Jr.!

the number of errors

Which means everyone was in on it or everyone was asleep. Either way, the experiment worked. It proved you can do another 9/11 any time you wish without much, if any, interference.

What is the lesson here? Don’t get on a plane with a muzzie pilot.

And maybe when Malaysia didn’t do anything at all, the pilot was totally surprised. And knowing he’d failed at being some kind of martyr, he knew his career was over—he couldn’t very well land the jet now.

If he couldn't find another plane to take out, he could have crashed into a city instead of supposedly flying off into the middle of the ocean taking nothing with him but the ones on board and a few fish.

Wow it was late last night when Asked where is Michele, found this , she is heading to the region soon. I would cancel the trip but who has the balls to tell her the vacation is canceled?

WASHINGTON — First lady Michelle Obama will travel to China this month with her daughters, Malia and Sasha, and her mother, Marian Robinson, for a trip built on the theme of education, her office announced Monday.

The March 19-26 trip will include a visit with her Chinese counterpart, Peng Liyuan, who is a popular folk singer and the second wife of Chinese President Xi Jinping.

The trip will be Michelle Obama’s first to China. Her itinerary includes stops in the Chinese capital, Beijing, on March 20-23; Xian on March 24; and Chengdu on March 25-26.

If she’s in China, I don’t think she has anything to worry about, not from planes, at least. The Chinese military will certainly be watching its radar and surveillance systems, unlike the Malaysians (who apparently completely ignored the plane’s appearance on their radar that night - as it crossed their entire country).
