“If anyone wanted to steal a plane then why not steal a FedEx or UPS cargo plane? They are probably a lot easier to steal than a commercial airliner and no passengers to deal with.”

I actually thought about this. It is much easier to steal a passport and get on a commercial plane in some low-security airport than it is to infiltrate UPS or FedEx wait around as a sleeper until needed. Plus, you might get multiple hijackers on a commercial plane, and if you have an attractive woman among them and a Captain who likes to bring pretty girls to the cockpit . . .

As for the passengers, if you are going to use the plane for a mass casualty terrorist attack anyway, what are 240 more corpses to you. If you have a plan to do away with them, then they would be as inert to your heartless, islamofascist soul as a bunch of FedEx packages.

The most interesting discussion I have seen so far is whether you could kill the passengers by depressurizing at 45,000 feet without doing yourself in as well. I would think the sudden pressure change might be fatal even if you had oxygen. Also, is the oxygen generator for the passengers something that could be turned off?

It is a puzzle . . .

Why would Iran go to this trouble to steal a plane when they have planes?

That doesn't make sense to me either.

An Iranian plan would have a hard time taking off undetected from an Iranian airfield. I doubt that 370 would be successful at delivering anything any distance, but Tel Aviv is not so far away. The Israelis would likely see it coming but maybe not in Iranian estimation.

ELTs are activated either manually or by sudden deceleration with a g-switch. Plus, the life rafts aboard have ELTs in them which are activated when the raft is deployed.

So if it did a belly landing, unlike AF flight 447, at least one would have been activated. With a belly landing that might give the crew to deploy the life raft thus activating the second one.

There was not a distress beacon on AF flight 447 but there was debris found plus signs of oil or jet fuel on the water surface, aircraft seats, an orange buoy, dead bodies, a passenger’s briefcase, and other things.

We haven’t seen any distress beacons nor crash debris.

Your theory is too complicated to be pulled off without dedicated operatives and government support.

It is most likely a case of Sudden Jihad Syndrome.

Iran would have a much harder time getting an Iranian plane into the US with a nuke than an American plane..I bet you that this Malaysian 777 is being equip with all the nukes necessary to destroy a few city blocks right now..it wouldnt have any issue entering the US..Israel, forget about it, its not gonna happen..but entering the US, yeah I can see that happening..or hitting another Target that would affect America greatly

Just by reading this and I would not be surprised that Iran is behind it. This reminds me of the movie Raid on Entebbe or The Entebbe Rescue Operation.

“On June 27, 1976, four terrorists forced an Air France Airbus to land in Uganda, in the heart of distant Africa. They quickly demanded that Israel release 53 convicted terrorists. The hijackers freed the French crew and non­Jewish passengers, while retaining 105 Jewish and Israeli hostages. A 48­hour deadline was set before executions would begin.”

Just that this one was more thought out and prepared and thanks to technology they can easily plan. Just my thought. =)

I can't imagine an unidentified plane entering US airspace. Then again, I couldn't believe they didn't have anti-aircraft weapons on top of the Pentagon.

They can slap a logo on it saying “American Airlines” put a flight number on it for a plane that is supposed to be coming to a certain location, and there you go..by the time US aviation towers realize they have been duped it will be too late

I was on duty, US Navy Security Group, when the Achille Lauro was highjacked. Talk about illogical!

The Muslims aren’t using logic. For them, symbolism is everything. Death means more than life.

That is a simple question to answer: they’re Muslim. They know something awful is going to happen, and soon.

They do not want to be blamed. They also do not want to be a target after the “awful thing” happens, either by the target country or by the perps.

Why else do you think President Karzai is telling the US to leave Afghanistan IMMEDIATELY!!

Do you realize what would happen to anyone who even looks like a Muzzie if a nuke was detonated in the US?

Iran has a national airlines so why would they need to steal a plane?

What I am going to say will sound racist, but if you stop and think about everything that has happened since 9-11, it won’t.

It doesn’t make sense to Westerners because folks from the Middle East don’t think like us. It is that simple.

So if it did a belly landing, unlike AF flight 447, at least one would have been activated.

In that case, the pilot would know that and nosedive to get the plane under water before the ELT(s) could activate.

We haven’t seen any distress beacons nor crash debris.

I would think nosediving in the southern Indian Ocean or northern Antarctic Ocean would explain that.

A very good possibility.

Also this could be the first step of a "False Flag" attack scenario.
