Where is Flight 370?

[RonD]

They also investigaged a faulty door seal before that flight which required the pressurization system to be set to "manual" test on the ground without starting the engines and it was not set back to "auto" before the flight. It was missed on three seperate checklists before the plane departed.

The plane was at 12k feet when the alarms started going off so it wasn't terribly high up. I think an incompetant crew gets a lot of the credit for that one...

Yes indeed, C average runs the world.

Average competence is judged as incompetence when 20/20 hindsight is used in most accident investigations.
And this applies to any accidents or mis-steps anywhere, it is much easier for the investigating C averages to see the problem AFTER it happens than before it happens, and then point their fingers at the other C averages for being incompetent, lol.

We do so love our finger pointing

Don't get me wrong, I feel for the 239 onboard... IMO, one of two things...

1) as Jim said in his original post, fire, overcome, autopilot until fuel ran out,

2) Something in the cargo hold that was WORTH a TON of money to someone (enough to kill 239 people for it.

Good chance that it wasn't labeled as to what it REALLY was, (hidden transport) BUT, someone (or a group) felt that a "quiet" hijacking to get the contents of that shipment, was worth it (Sick).

Just my 2 cents worth.

I hope I am very wrong, and that all people on that flight are all right on some remote island.........

Well Ron, you know what I like to say about that?

"You are what makes the average "average".

I have refrained from posting because this truly is a serious topic and requires the sensitivity that others may have been born with or developed over years of pain and suffering...

The plane is in Pakistan...the passengers are alive...I have been wrong before but this vision came to me when I first read about it so I'm hoping it is true...it wasn't one of those off the cuff things that I usually post...

All the theories presented could be valid...only God knows for sure...and we will know soon enough either way.

Thread killer am I...

I liked this theory a lot, but we may never know.

Some are saying the Inmarsat data doesn't match that theory but who know.

 

[SenorNoob]

I just wanna know why we don't have enough satellites up there to just play the video and follow it where it went. Excepting of course cloud cover.

Yes indeed, I can live with that

"We are the people our parents warned us about"
By: Jimmy Buffett
1983

I was supposed to have been a jesuit priest, or a naval academy grad
That was the way that my parents perceived me
Those were the plans that they had
But I couldn't fit the part, too dumb or too smart
Ain't it funny how we all turned out
I guess we are the people our parents warned us about

I like that theory, it sticks with all the known data.

Don't know if this was said, but from day one I thought, people will kill for hundreds and thousands of dollars. What do you think people will do for millions(and billions)? Business people and politicians do it all the time. Of course an accident is possible, it just doesn't make sense.

I'd read that before and that's the best idea I've seen. His conclusion is based on previous accidents with similar results.

I agree that looking on it's last known heading line (after the turn) is the most logical area, I also know that they are trying to find the stuff on radar to prove it crashed, THEN they would look in the flight path.

Who cares about the junk, Look along the last flight path, a submarine's sonar OR audiophone would find the ping's from the black or orange boxes REAL fast.

They are dogging this for one apparent reason...... it DIDN'T crash, 239 people have been murdered (Sick) for a cargo.............

Last known heading plus or minus the wind drift.

As a test I tried to find a freighter on lake Erie using google maps and it's not that easy. So I could just imagine how hard it would be to search an ocean.

If you look here 41.5092481,-81.715087,35m you'll see something. If you zoom out and go east of Brown's stadium you'll see the William G. Mather a 600 foot steamship. For comparison.

Personally, anyone who decides to go to that region of the world should know better. Hell I have checked the gov travel site when I went to the Bahamas and again before I leave for my cruise to the south Caribbean. Traveling over seas has inherent risk but some times you need to make a decision before you actually go.

Now US intelligence is checking with some unlabeled/identified satellites that can check landing sites in Pakistan or Afghanistan...there are some birds up there that will never be identified or acknowledged...haven't heard if the Chinese satellite debris amounted to anything, but it was way big....70X45, too big for a cargo container.
