Key question is *WHEN* did this person supposedly see the jet. It would take HOURS to get to the Maldives.
And someone thought to say something NOW?
Muslim country, unattended airfield. Maldives island complex has three (3) airfields capable of landing a 777, and 2 that can take off with full load.
What about that supposed dude on that oil rig that saw an airplane on fire falling from the sky?
So.... where is it now? Did they see/hear it take off again? How did it get refueled? Were passengers offloaded? (if you’re going to steal a plane, logically you’d ditch the passengers). If its terrorism.... how come no one has claimed responsibility, demanded ransom, etc etc.?
I’m not buying it.
think about it....a mystery B777 lands at a public airport, surely would attract attention....I feel that the aircraft had problems, like an explosion/fire, that decompressed the aircraft...and the situation went downhill after that...
Rest assured, that Boeing, will find the aircraft and the black boxes....
Doesn't sound like the right direction.
"UPDATE: Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370: Officials Say Plane's Route Changed Via Computer Program Run By Someone In Cockpit; Police Find Indian Ocean Runways On Pilot's Simulator
By Sneha Shankar on March 18 2014 1:11 AM
Update as of 12:20 a.m. EST: The Malay Mail Online, citing a local news source, Berita Harian, reported Tuesday that authorities investigating the flight simulator found in the home of Zaharie Ahmad Shah, the captain of the missing Flight MH370, had found five practice runways located in the Indian Ocean.
“The simulation programmes are based on runways at the Male International Airport in Maldives , an airport owned by the United States (Diego Garcia), and three other runways in India and Sri Lanka, all have runway lengths of 1,000 metres (3,300 feet)," the source reportedly said, adding: “We are not discounting the possibility that the plane landed on a runway that might not be heavily monitored, in addition to the theories that the plane landed on sea, in the hills, or in an open space.”"

The runway at the International Airport in Maldives is 10,000 feet+ in length. See post above.
The engine pings put it a long way from there and engine pings are a lot more reliable than someone who claims he saw something.
I saw Big Foot once. Or was it twice?
This might take us back to the Somalia theory. The Maldives are straight west of that pirate country. On fact, you could draw a line pretty much straight west from Kuala Lumpur, and it would go through the Maldives and Somalia.
The Maldives ‘witnesses’ (why in quote marks?) are trying for their 15 minutes of fame on Entertainment Tonight. Details at 11.
“The news came as it emerged that investigators have discovered the runways of five airports near the Indian Ocean loaded into Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah’s home-made flight simulator.”

I didn’t think Argentina was in the range of the plane.

Being another plane was observed near the MH370 on radar,could the Chinese be testing a new cloaking device that worked?
Anybody remember the crash that killed Payne Stewart? I do cause I’m a golfer and his agent, Robert Fraley played at Alabama. Anyway http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1999_South_Dakota_Learjet_crash
