“It’s actually further than than. The plane had 7 hours worth of fuel onboard. It could have easily made it to Pakistan, Iran or Somalia. (And no, I still can’t post a pic. I’m hopeless, but here’s the graphic.)”


Now you are getting close. I personally would be focusing satellites over Somalia. And the big worry for me is that you load an explodable nuke on it and try to trigger it over Tel Aviv. Make Tel Aviv uninhabitable and Israel ceases to be viable as a Jewish state.

This seems to be the most likely scenario given what we now know.

Suddenly now they have radar data. I’m starting to get the feeling this is like the old joke about the cats on the roof and we can’t get it down. :-)

The Andaman Sea is as much as 8,000 to 8,500 feet deep. That’s where I’d say it was headed if in fact it was shot down elsewhere. Elsewhere, possibly very shallow where much of the wreckage might quickly be recovered. Elsewhere, like the last radar contact over the Sea of Thailand, a scant 200 to 300 feet deep at most.

The deepest point in the vicinity of the last known radar contact in the Gulf of Thailand is about 170 feet. Dangerous but doable even for a recreational diver. Quickly collect enough of the wreckage to befuddle any later investigation and this will remain “a mystery” forever. Let’s call it “inconclusive” in keeping with the greater good and all.

Nice place to head toward.

“You don’t need a runway. Just a long piece of highway. You could refuel and be on your way again”

I doubt it. Even though you might have a sufficient length of highway, I question whether the pavement can support the weight. Once the aircraft stops, it sinks into the pavement or crushes the concrete underneath it.

Yup.

I was dry land until about 7,000 years ago. The sea level rise 7,000 years ago opened up the Straits of Malacca and allowed sea travel to the west for the first time in few 100k years.
