Desmond forgot to enter The Numbers.
:lol: this was exactly my first thought, now considering all things, I'm still leaning this way
Desmond forgot to enter The Numbers.
The Malaysian Military has confirmed to Reuters, that the aircraft turned around and was last seen in the Strait of Malacca at a lower altitude.
garyw posted on 3/10 an image that showed a search area in the Malacca Straight region. What information did authorities have that would cause them to search an area that far away and that far off course? If the map is laid out due north, I don't think a heading of 333deg would put it in that area.
As morbid as it may sound, I'm really very interested in hearing the rest of this story. Fair skies and tailwinds for the souls on board.
In my opinion the aircraft suffered from structural failure due to either..
A) Mechanical breakdown
B) Terrorist plot
C) Accidental (or deliberate) shootdown
Perhaps there was somebody or something on the aircraft that wasn't to be allowed to land in China.
Shooting down an airliner filled with your own citizens?
I don't believe it
EDIT: sorry, forgot this isn't the basement.
I never said it was the Chinese.
In another direction, I just realized that the black boxes haven't sent a signal at all yet, which is kind of sinister. It means whatever happened to the plane was castatrophic and sudden enough to incapacitate or destroy (the boxes). Of course, this isn't necessarily true.
...Malaysia’s Berita Harian newspaper quoted air force chief Rodzali Daud as saying the Malaysia Airlines plane was last detected by military radar at 2:40 a.m. on Saturday, near the island of Pulau Perak at the northern end of the Strait of Malacca. It was flying at a height of about 9,000 metres, he was quoted as saying...
...The time given by Rodzali was an hour and 10 minutes after the plane vanished from air traffic control screens over Igari waypoint, midway between Malaysia and Vietnam...
The sonic signal of the black boxes can only be detected if you are in the right ocean and pretty close to the target. It is no 8000W spherical sonar.
A poster on another forum apparently was a submariner and did some anti-submarine warfare at least in exercise. Suffice to say, he knows the challenges of locating something in water, and apparently, the shallow water of the area is pretty bad for being able to locate a noise source. And that's in ideal conditions. He didn't give a dissertation on undersea sonar operations, but I don't believe it's time to call for a conspiracy just yet. Those beacons are supposed to run for something like 30 days, and it's been 3.In that case, the wreckage must not be close to the areas where they are searching. A valid assumption to make, given the reports that have been recently coming out that say the plane was in areas it should not have been and the fact that the SAR operations are also expanding their search to areas where the plane could have reached (independent of whether or not it should have been there)...and more so.
Also relevant...(expands on a few theories posted on the thread, such a terrorism, catastrophic failure, etc)
Also relevant, China has deployed satellites to help with SARS operations.

Your links are all broken...This incident get's weirder by the hour.
It now appeared that the aircraft turn back, lowering it's altitude and vanished about a 1000 feet above sea level over the Malacca Strait, west of Malaysia!
It was flying in a south westerly direction at a very low altitude, almost in the opposite direction it's suppose to travel, to reach Beijing.

There are now even more bizarre news, how true this I do not know, but relatives of the passengers of flight MH-370 claimed that the cell phones of the missing passengers are ringing when dialed??!!??

A conspiracy of silence from the local authorities since day one. This case just gets stranger by the hour.
Your links are all broken...
Oh no, an aviation incident isn't solved after not even a week, must be a cover-up by the evil *insert favorite enemy here*!
Also, the "ringing" you hear when you call a cell phone isn't like the ringing when calling a landline--doesn't necessarily mean that it's actually ringing on the other end, I think.
