Malaysian Flight MH370

[eldiablo1]

great read: http://www.wired.com/autopia/2014/03/mh370-electrical-fire/

Good read, but the author of this article assumes the pilot turned the aircraft to land at the closest airport (due to the fire).

However, the change in direction was made at least 12 minutes before co-pilot Fariq Abdul Hamid said "All right, good night," to controllers on the ground, sources said.

So they planned to turn before any sign of fire or impending disaster. :iono:

Yeah new and conflicting info coming out all the time. It's crazy.

But just so it's clear to people who don't know alot bout flying lingo: 'Good night' is not some hidden message that I'm going to kill myself. It's an everyday used sentence with ATC, perfectly normal.

With Maxtdi and Courtney love throwing in their two cents, it sure seems like this will be solved rapidly.

Your cents are clearly worth more tell me all about it mr keyboard warrior and aviation expert.

I saw a post on Reddit that I believe to believe to be 100% true.

In a few years, the plane will reappear, land with all passengers on-board and unharmed, and the first person to walk out of the airplane will be Amelia Earhart.

If this turns out to be a case of murder/suicide

look at that sandy hook kid, he smashed and deleted all his stuff before taking himself out...

by the way, ridiculous james holmes is STILL on trail for dark knight shootings

 

[emk6]

could this flight be used as a test flight for such technology? fly up to 45,000 kill everyone and someone from the ground takes over?

Why not just ram the jet into the next best building during take off... seems like too much work.

Why is every terrorist attack assumed to involve an aircraft flying into a building?

So you can take out as many ppl as possible?

What if this is the beginning of War Games with Matthew Broderick but in real life?

 

[Bender1]

If it is a prelude to a terrorist attack we probably will miss the ultimate purpose until it occurs. Failure of imagination. Just like why people though 9/11 wasn't possible even though Bin Laden had stated his intent to do exactly what they did.
