* Still missing *Malaysian Airlines plane with 239 on board

[Ships]

widened the search, due to the fact that an Unidentified Object, was seen in roughly the same area flying west at 2.15.

Small 'u', small 'o' (ha ha), but yes an unidentified radar 'plot' was observed 200 Nautical Miles North West of Penang (which would sit somewhere in the Malacca Strait) at 2.15am. This observed plot was enough for them to widen the search into the strait. As far as I know though, they hadn't had any other specific indication that the plane had done a 'turn back', to use their words.

But it is yet to be verified, so really are none the wiser.

CH7 going to tell us exactly what happened at 1030 tomorrow night...Lol.

Schappelle did it?

 

[Quivorir]

Start of the presser definitely said body. My stream cut out about 10 mins in though. Possibly cracked it because I kept "rewinding" to see if it said body or boat

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

Schappelle did it?

Most logical explanation atm

 

[Yellow Feathers]

So was that life raft theirs or not?

 

[FreoGirl]

I can't believe they have only just started searching the jungle of Vietnam...

I have no idea.....

 

[Yidaki]

I'm wondering why there hasn't been much info on land searches? Surely they are searching these areas too?

 

[tandino]

How about this for a theory.

Back when Iraq had WMD's, Bush decided to fly out to Baghdad for Thanksgiving. The US flew two 747's out to the Middle East disguised on radar as something else. Is it possible from the cockpit to fool radar, so that you leave one "radar area" as MH370 and enter another as some run-of-the-mill freighter on a run-of-the-mill flight to ...wherever?

CH7 going to tell us exactly what happened at 1030 tomorrow night...Lol.

Oh, can't wait for that!

 

[Yidaki]

So was that life raft theirs or not?

No. Someone else enlightened me to this a few pages back.

 

[Juddism]

So was that life raft theirs or not?

of course not...a/c have escape slides not life rafts.

 

[Yidaki]

Most logical explanation atm

So, Schapelle is an alien??

Hussein was particularly defensive in the face of often hostile questioning from the press.

He said: “Unless we get the aircraft and the black box it is unlikely that we will be able to answer a lot of speculative issues that have been raised out there.
“We are focusing both on the South China Sea and the on the Straits of Malacca.”

Challenged about the criticism of the information released by the authorities, he said: “This is unprecedented what we are going through – coordinating so many countries together is not something that is easy. We are looking at so many vessels, so many countries to coordinate and a vast area for us to search ... but we will never give up hope.”

 

[Spitta09]

that seems possible

If they where found of lying and trying to cover it up, I'd be all for nuking them of this planet

there has been a lot of crap spouted in this thread but this comment takes the cake

 

[DivideandMultiply]

So do you think they've found the plane?

My post was meant to quote someone, who was quoting a news article.

No.

I just think there have probably been mistakes made early on, including the initial response and they are scrambling around trying to arse cover.

 

[Changaneen]

I dont believe there's anything sinister here, as in cover ups from the Malaysians. Look who they are dealing with, the Chinese wouldn't take any lies very lightly, also the Americans are involved. Why would they risk trade sanctions or the like, even military action. I mean what have the Malaysians got that a wet lettuce leaf hasn't.

They truly have no idea where this plane is, or what happened, and if they do, so do the the other parties involved.

"Tricked" is supposed to be on Thursday at 10:30 pm , to be replaced by a program on a missing plane ?

"Say that again !"

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

sums up the half presser on the abc effin joke.

I was thinking that this sounded more like the presser..

I'm starting to think this way also, as in from a Malaysian cover up POV. The Malaysian Airlines brand would already be hurting massively, and if it were to come out that a cover up was involved they'd just about have to close up shop overnight.

There was a map posted a few days back that had a 7hr radius around KL. Its starting to seem that it really could be anywhere within there.

Yes they do!

Break out the tin foil hats people.

Does anyone think a scenario like Aeroflot 593 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeroflot_Flight_593 is possible?

On that flight the pilot let his 15 year old son take the controls which led to the plane crashing. We've seen the photos of the co-pilot with nice looking females - any chance he let a blonde bombshell take control and she ended up crashing the airplane? Would explain the lack of comms as the aircraft went down and the pilot probably turned the transpoder off out of embarrassment.

Alternatively the co-pilot has previously smoked on the flightdeck but I find it highly unlikely that 2 pilots would allow a fire from a cigarette butt to develop into something that would compromise the plane.

Where was Otto the Auto pilot when he was needed ?

 

[HBF]

The wreckage could honestly be anywhere, especially if they turned around and tried to head back to KL.
Still, it is very intriging.
