Mystery Malaysia flight may have been hundreds of miles off course (CNN Breaking)

[Mr. K]

on 9-11 the planes were flying low to the ground and not over water

on this flight they were way out over the sea.... no cell signals

[Hetty_Fauxvert]

I could be wrong (of course!) but to me, it seems pretty clear someone stole the plane. If it crashed, some sign would have been found by now. If it was deliberately crashed as an act of terrorism, some group would have proudly proclaimed it by now.

I think it has been stolen by persons unknown (very likely a terrorist group, but who knows) for later use.

I think the Pilot and Copilot were muzzies, so they would have been in on a plan. Or dead.

[Mr. K]

you’re sick

i like that

[WildHighlander57]

ATCs wouldn’t have been squawked if it was an inside job and the pilot and copilot were in on it ....

And tell the pax they have to divert for mechanical reasons, etc.

My guess is the “assylum seekers” were typical Muslim thugs.

Wow, go to Google maps and check out the airport on the tiny little island of ‘Car Nicobar’.. That could easily accommodate a 777 landing. I’m shocked this little island has a major airport.

Car Nicobar is an Indian Air Force Base. IOW, probably not an optimal destination for a stolen airliner, despite having an 8914-foot runway.

[Mr. Jeeves]

If that's the case, not admitting they shot it down doesn't seem to serve a purpose.

I think if the idea that hijackers blew up or damaged a plane is bad, the idea that a military shot it down is worse. Passengers would know, if hijacked, they are already as good as dead.

Confessing military involvement in a deliberate civilian shootdown would be a very difficult thing for any government to do.

And then carpetbomb Somalia. After sending all their cab drivers back home.

[CivilWarBrewing]

I think you forgot we have a Muslim CIC.

[dragnet2]

So those in the jet fighters and the pilots on the airliner were all in on the conspiracy?

[Mr. Jeeves]

I’m not sure they would waste time asking his permission any more.

[dragnet2]

So the ATC, the fighter pilots and those in the missing airliner were all in on the terrorist plot?

[Darksheare]

Back when navigation was a science and people had to be good at it.
Oh, and there were three people in the cockpit instead of two.

[txhurl]

Well, if we’ve decided on a shoot-down - I’m about 85% there - then debris will be found soon once a center-fuel-tank-spark explanation is successfully hatched.

[CivilWarBrewing]

Yikes. One Malaysian fighter pilot ready to die for 72 virgins would be an embarrassing thing for the authorities to admit. This aircraft could've been destroyed midair by a Malaysian fighter pilot.

The MAF has 8 F/A-18's and that is a potent weapon for any commercial airliner.

[SilvieWaldorfMD]

Oil Slick was tested — it belonged to some ships in the area.

[WildHighlander57]

Dragnet has a point; what about the fighter jets?

[SilvieWaldorfMD]

Very interesting analysis, Cyn...

[SilvieWaldorfMD]

Why do you keep posting “Burma”? You think the airliner is there?
