So does your insider information come via the NSA?

“Someone landed a plane on a runway at least a mile long, dumped 230+ bodies and rebadged a jumbo jet?”
There are places in the world where that could happen. The hard part is getting the 777 back into the air. Methinks they require more delicate care and feeding than your average aircraft.
Unless there is a way to strip out all the high-tech gear and just do seat-of-the-pants flying. What a rush that would be in an 777.

There was a system on the 777 called Aircraft Health System (AHS). It transmitted the health of the aircraft to a station so if there was a problem the airline could have parts waiting to turn the aircraft as soon as possible. The Army was going to use a similar system on the Future Combat System (FCS) vehicles but the program was aborted. Perhaps that’s what they are referring.

What are the options for landing such a large plane outside a commercial airport or military base? This case is the strangest thing I've seen. There are so many questions and possibilities.

If they have ping data, I believe they have lat & long data. That's how they know it changed course.
We're being lied to royally. They know exactly what's going on.

load it with your nuke then fly it to the target. Who would have guessed?
To: NCC-1701
If it were stolen, what about the passengers? They had to be dealt with. Last night, I was thinking of that too and the worse as I was trying to get to sleep. They could have pushed them out. That would be the worse scenario, I hope and probably not. Scary though, you'd think they'd hold them as hostages unless they had real big plans for that plane.

Plus as I listened to a local station, Malaysian authorities say one thing and then it appears the USA and probably China say the complete opposite.

They need a civilian version of Blue Force Tracker. They spent millions looking at alternatives after they lost the Air France Airbus and of the three options they came up with the US military have been using for years.
One was an auto tracker. We have that on numerous platforms.
The second was a system that ejects the black boxes before a crash. This used on the C5 aircraft, a portion of the tail detaches and carries a beacon.
The third was a system that sends a signal before a crash. Flight data can be incorporated into the tracking system already in use.

And people mock me here on FR for having such a big imagination.

Well, they don’t have to worry about our intelligence agencies, they’re to busy spying on us and their supposed political masters to figure out if someone is going to pull a Dr. Evil on us...

That was Jack Hydrazine. I thought he was very imaginative. Wow.

Not me. I was also in the terrorist mode but my theory was that they wanted chips or something from the Freescale employees on board.

I think this is the most likely outcome at this point. Planes do not just disappear; the ocean is huge but if one crashed into it, surely pieces would have been found by now.

Absolutely not! They gave up because it was too expensive.
To: Yaelle
Im am going to go out on a limb again and say the following.
This aircraft is going to be used in a major terrorist op against the US before the November 2014 elections in order to save the Dems butts.
