On March 8, a Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777-200ER departed from Kuala Lumpur with 227 passengers and 12 crew members. It departed at 12:41am (1441 GMT), and was due in Beijing at 6:30am (2230 GMT) that same day. It hasn’t been seen since. This report attempts to debunk some of the theories about that disappearance and make a new assertion about what might have befallen the passengers and crew of that ill-fated flight. Flight MH 370.
Conspiracy theories don’t hold water because they ignore certain things that have to happen in conjunction with those events in order for them to be correct. What all the theories about the disappearance of this plane leave out are the important aircraft systems that would react (or try to) in any mishap involving the plane. Here are a few.
The Cabin Emergency Depressurization Oxygen System. The “Rubber Mask Jungle” drops if the cabin pressure drops below a certain level – typically at 14,000 feet. The pilots can deploy the system manually or leave it set on automatic. But the pilots cannot turn it off.

I don’t think people in the west, especially Americans, realize how backward other countries really are. The Malays lost me when they called in the witch doctors.
Look for the PRC to take over the investagation.
Spoonts theory is a good as most others.
The people on that jet were murdered. If the real story were told the Malaysian government would probably fall. China is already pressuring them.There are many corrupt government officials who are getting rich siphoning oil money. They fear losing their access to their revenue sources and prison. The stonewalling will continue.
Still scratching my head about the Inmarsat bit. Inmarsats are communications satellites. They have navigation systems and communications transponders. Transponders do not have Doppler sensors as far as I know, and to acheive direction finding you must have a DF processor, Are they implying they used data from multiple satellites that received the pings from the engines to guess which way the airplane headed? The path they drew implies that time difference from one geostationary satellite would give a path either north or south of the Equator proportionally. It makes no sense because there is no way they could plot or guess coordinates without at least 2 signal sources.
Probably in cahoots with Pakistan and Al Qaeda. A Muzzy conspiracy to launch a manned cruise missle at the west.
Do not be surprised if China decides to threaten millitary pressure on Malaysia.
The PRC will try to find closure but not real closure, my guess is they will report day after day stalling tactics, seas too rough, cannot pinpoint up close, currents are unpredictable etc.
They want closure but assuming for a moment they already know where plane is and the sensitive location plus they are not noted at having any form of a SEAL team 6 or such they are helpless to form a Search and rescue in any way compared to how the US can.
passengers that may be in an Iranian holding facility may very well be SOL at getting rescued unless its a NATO rescue.
Obama will not authorize another Pakistan type of raid like Zero dark Thirty, Muslims will protect Muslims.
And this is the complete crux of the whole situation, keeping Muslim attention away, mute it, destroy it, hide it, divert it away from any Muslim cooperation across the board.
Now the more Muslim scrutiny, more pencil beam spotlights on key Muslim connections and then things will break open.
But you got to remember that Malay also has “oil resources” which would bring interest by China, plus PRC is NOT a neighbor you want to get let’s just say a bit “upset” .
Hopefully they didn't have to use the resident White House witch doctors.
There are too many cultural things involved here to hold a rational, by Western standards, discussion. Take a quick look at the crash in SFO as an example.
Having said that, it is in the very best interest of Malaysia and every other Islamic based government to solve this, by Western standards, quickly. Otherwise the use of Islamic based airlines and tourist travel to/from tourist destinations in Islamic nations will drop off.
Who wants to go on business, much less vacation, if you have doubts that you will get there and return safely?
All it will take is another disappearance similar to this one to start the cancelations.
Will there be another one? Unfortunately my logic trail says yes; it is only a question of when.
Can someone tell me why pilots have the ability to turn off the transponder while in flight?
The Malaysian govt just wants this to go away so they decided to decide the plane went into the indian Ocean. They probably have no clue. I am still waiting for the other shoe to drop.
However, if there was gold in that cargo hold destined for China, that would explain China's increased hostility.
I don’t think the Inmarsat does much processing onboard. It simply receives signals over a broad spectrum and translates it to another frequency band and downlinks it to ground stations for processing. If there was a Doppler Effect in a received signal, its frequency offset would be detected by ground equipment. But I think Inmarsat relied more on the time difference between its ping to the aircraft and the response to determine distance from the satellite. The handshake is not a single pulse but a series of rapid exchanges of pulses with are either spaced shorter or longer depending upon whether or not the aircraft is moving closer or heading further away from the satellite. In this case it wasn’t the engines pinging or the ACARS messaging system because there were no messages scheduled to be exchanged after reaching cruise but before landing. The pinging was between the SATCOM system and the Inmarsat. Like your cable modem when your computer is turned off stays connected to your internet service provider. Or your cellphone that periodically reminds the nearest tower that it’s still around.
A very interesting read. Plausible. Thanks for sharing it.

In my uneducated view, it would seem to be made possible to ward off hostile forces.

And this actually tells us little as far as I’m concerned.
