I would have thought that it would be easier to do it during a flight. It would be harder to kidnap 20 pros at the one time on land. I don't think it's just the these professionals there after. I'm sure there was some pretty important equipment on board too.
It might be easier in the case of all in the same area at the same time, however if these people are that important why risk hijacking a commercial plane? What are the chances of the plan working and landing safely with these oh so important people? First time ever, would have to think its a safer option to nab these people other ways. I just dont see it.

How could they do that? Kidnap 20 people one by one on the way to the aiport? Maybe the police/security will see this as well. It would be easier to get these 20 people in one small place and kidnap them that way.
Yeah exactly, kidnap 20 people one by one. Why would it would be so much easier to hijack a plane and land it safely without any government/army knowing about it. This is the first time this type of thing has ever happened, people get kidnapped every single day. Whats easier?

Obviously hijacking a plane is easier, its already been proven many times. :rolleyes:

Oh boy. There have been plenty of hijackings.

To be fair, within the first 3-5 days, anything but crashing into the ocean was merely a conspiracy theory. It would have been logical to suggest being crashed into the ocean. But after about 4 days, the situation changed. My initial thought was plane crashed into ocean. After 4-5 days I was thinking hijacking. Its all in here. Then I said I'd be worried about a future event, like at the MCG, I was laughed at.
To my knowledge, planes can't fly unidentified through the air though. If they spot a resprayed plane flying, air traffic control will establish contact and threaten to blow the plane if the pilots don't explain what they're doing. Having said that, they've done a 'good' job so far.

It will and does. Without O2 masks
O2 masks drop deliberately when the air temperature reaches a certain level, right?

Not all terrorists want innocent people to die, they're fighting for a perceived higher cause.

It's far from a given that these people are finished.

This is the map issued by the Malaysian authorities. The red lines are the two possible corridors where MH370 was detected by a satellite over the Indian Ocean. The authorities would not say who operated the satellite.

Taken from somewhere.....
To me the "skyjacking" scenario is the most feasible explanation. However, there certainly is more to dissect before the verdict is in. . .

You were asking your questions in a decidedly "this is disturbing," could the Lockerbie Pan Am crash have something to do with CIA sponsored scientists that developed he AIDS virus on board fashion. . .or something like the "Bob Lazar"/ Area 51 whistleblower. . .or Ed Snwden. . .

The more i think about this the more i believe that the passengers are still alive. Since this recent press conference, it brings us back to the original sentiment of how does a plane crash without anyone in society noticing, at the time or within a week? Since we now know that it continued flying for some time, it almost seems very unlikely that it crashed over land without anyone noticing. Also, what can be made from someone hijacking a plane and then crashing it in the middle of nowhere? Terrorists terrorise to send messages; what message is sent from just crashing a plane in the middle of nowhere and not even claiming it? What is the point of switching off tracking when you're going to crash it in the middle of nowhere? The only way i see this happening is if it was an accident, or if someone fought back and caused the plane to crash to prevent further carnage. Such a crazy situation, and one could now continue to go unsolved for quite some time.

What if they fly low, and fast from the coast inward.

how is it possible that it was detected in both spots??? Can anyone go deeper with this?
Those lines represent distance from satellite location. So the plane was last seen at a range that far from where the satellite was. And that is bounded by how far the plane could possibly have travelled.
