Pulau We, Sabang, SBC. An airport. On an Island off the coast of Banda Aceh.

It is very possible that the hijackers flew along a standard airline route from Singapore to New Delhi where the Indian military air defense radar personnel would ignore the flight as simply a normal airliner, and the Indian civilian air traffic controllers would not even know or “see” the hijacked airliner because the hijackers had turned its transponder off three to five hours earlier.

So... the military will see this blip WITHOUT A TRANSPONDER, and say "Hey, No big deal", while the civilians won't even see it.

Not a good plan for military defense, if you ask me.

“It is possible that this latest report is also deceptive and that there was another and final “ping” at 9:11 a.m. which has been withheld because it greatly narrows the search area into an extremely volatile region of West-Central Asia.”

Lots of cover up going on.

No way China would let it fly that distance without an intercept.

Very good graphics. The media has failed to understand the satellite info, and implied that the ‘arcs’ we see are a path that the aircraft must have taken. As the graphic shows, this is not true...the arcs are only representative of where the airplane must have been...at the moment of the last ping. The place could have taken any route to get to a point on that arc.

I am surprised to learn that the cockpit crew can turn cabin pressurization off with the flip of a switch!

Here’s some stuff that might be worthy of being called a ‘hint’:

Boeing 777 hijackers plunged to 5,000ft and used low altitude ‘terrain masking’ manoeuvre practised by fighter jets to avoid radar detection

Ummm... no. Two minutes without O2 does not kill you. It does knock you out for a few minutes. As for the pilots, at FL 430 you need positive pressure O2 masks. I do not believe the crew had such masks. Then there is the problem of disposing of 230 bodies. No small task. Then there is the issue of keeping 230 furious passengers from breaking-down the cockpit door and taking back the airplane during its seven hour joy ride.

Any thoughts that a jihadi video claiming responsibility for a the hijacking or suicide mission were found on the pilot’s and / or copilot’s computers but is being hidden by the Malaysian gov’t?

Most cogent analysis I’ve seen so far.

One question most people haven’t thought to ask I believe: Do pilots know that their engines are sending pings to the satellites? If so, can those pings be shut down from the flight deck?

I’m wondering this because the locus of possible landing locations is bounded by a circle defined by the radius of the aircraft flying at max speed from the center of that circle defined by its last ping. It has from the time of the last ping until the next expected ping to hide the plane and shut it down before it pings again.

If it pings over land, then the hijackers would be at risk of being found and caught.

You’d want to ‘make your escape’ from your last ping, ending your flight as close to your next ping as possible.

Or, you’d want to shut the engine health satellite ping off.

Where ever you land, you’d want holes for both the bodies and the luggage, even if you intended to burn or dissolve both first.

I would not be surprised if Malaysian Air isn’t in talks with Boeing to have each of those aircraft repainted in a brand new service mark and color scheme on some sort of rotating basis.

The one very highly impractical thing for the hijackers to pull off is a repainting of the aircraft. They can do such a thing, but it would be difficult.

You pull the seats out of something like a 777 and you can get a terrifying number of nuclear weapons aboard. Making them go off all at the exact same time would be a tougher trick than you’d think.

Putting on the tinfoil hat for a second, if there is any truth to the rumor that we use commercial heavies to perform weather modification work on their routes, and that they are equipped with tanks and nozzles for distributing the material used for that purpose, it may mean that the plane has the means to distribute chemical or biological weapons without being either suspected or detected.

It’s funny how we find out, after the appropriate amount of time, that many conspiracy theories turn out being correct. McCarthy was right. Government WAS full of communists. The listed goals of Communism for the US were legitimate, and the new Soviet Union is still working toward them, etc.

Anyway, the havoc you can wreak with a 777 isn’t limited to crashing it into a building.

Great work, but let me add this.
Take a close look at this graphic. In the world of Air Traffic Contgrol, "Attention To Detail" is everything.
Being accurate FIRST is everything.
Being safe is everything.
Speed comes later, but accuracy is a must.

Now for other career fields, accuracy isn't stressed as much.
Now let's ASSUME that, in the speed of getting out the information, that graphic is built on the WRONG degree off of that satellite.
Look what that would do to the search area.

What if a Muslim sympathizer was in the chain of people that disseminated that information.

And take a look at the fuel capacity of the different models of Boeing 777-200,and that can give it a Maximum range (at maximum payload {because MH370 might have weighed less, giving it a LONGER range} ) of from
So the search area may change,we must assume the worst.

Every time I read any claims by persons who say they saw an aircraft in distress, I am reminded of the crash landing of an air carrier in the Atlanta, GA area many years ago.

My memory of details may not be accurate, but I do remember the punch line.

I believe that the aircraft was a DC-9.

I believe that it flew through a severe thunderstorm and both engines flamed out from water ingestion.

So big fat black woman was on TV exclaiming in a very loud excited voice that she saw the aircraft just before it crashed and “the pilot was waving a red flag out his window”.

I can’t remember the eventual outcome, but I think the pilot put the aircraft down on a road or somewhere where there were a substantial number of survivors.

If anyone remembers or can locate the actual story, feel free.

The wonders of google:

The authorities are, understandably, not releasing it, but it would be VERY helpful to see the “distance arcs” derived from EACH of the hourly pings. Comparative Analysis of that information on the different arcs could very possibly lead to more precise locations.

The various intelligence agencies almost certainly have more information than they are releasing. Depending upon the scenario, the authorities could actually be releasing/leaking incorrect information to mask what they really do know.
