Missing Malaysian jet news (1 Viewer)

Definition of terrorist = A person who terrorises other people and world society.

Obama terrorises Muslim and Arab countries/world.

Obama terrorises honest and hard working Americans & worldwide people. Nobody buying... Nobody earning... Nobody getting hired. The goverment doesn't create jobs. People create jobs. And Obama terrifies business owners and consumers.

Actually there are government jobs available so technically the government does create jobs but thats besides the point.

Obama terrorises world women, girls and men because as USA president he is not destroying world pornography and prostitution.

My question: Is Obama a Terrorist?
Please define "terrorises"
Terrorises - When terro goes upwards
also the plural form of terroris
Also the british spelling of terrorizes

 
So is this story just going to fade away or what?

Seems the air is out of it and Malaysia wants to just move on. bascially "It's in the Indian Ocean alright? now leave us alone."
why waste more money. everyone's dead and the plane is at the bottom of the ocean. How many more 10's of millions should be wasted.
fueling up on a desert island to fly to the US and destroy WTC1 down?

Until they find that plane or the remains I certainly won't be flying anywhere. You can't trust that it won't pop up ready to do harm to any and everyone. Some folks are far too trusting of the world we live in.

Just WTC1? If they put a nuclear weapon in that thing they could take out the whole US. If we are going to dream, let's dream big!

Do you think they are going to use it to ram another plane midair? :confused:

Because if not, flying would be the safest place to be in your scenario.

You just gave me a great idea for a new reality series.

Air jousting. Get a couple of those old time double winged planes, throw some folks onto the wings, strap a parachute on their backs, give each of them a joust, and go nuts.

I don't know how you've ever flown what with the threat that Osama Bin Laden's Grandfather might have hijacked Amelia Earheart's Lockheed Electra and hid it somewhere. It might just pop up with a bomb in it...or maybe...OBL's grandfather made Amelia one of his many virgin wives...MAYBE SHE'S OBL's GRANDMOTHER!

I'd probably feel differently if I had loved ones on that plane but I agree with this. I can't imagine they'll ever find that plane in our lifetime. It's probably 20,000 feet below the surface at the bottom of the ocean in the middle of nowhere. It's easier to find a needle in a haystack at this point.

 
Wasn't there supposed to be another announcement today?

I thought they were within hours of reaching the wreckage site yesterday. My guess is they didn't find what they hoped to find and are now trying to figure out what to do/say next.

 
Maybe they faked the takeoff of MH370. It is all a fraud to collect insurance money. I would not put anything past Big Air to make a dollar. Or in this case ringgits.

 
It's basically been a week since they first spotted some suspicious debris - I know the conditions aren't favorable but NOTHING has been found yet?

London: A new, unprecedented satellite tracking technique is what gave Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak enough confidence to announce that Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 went down in the remote south of the Indian Ocean.

British firm Inmarsat was behind an earlier analysis that indicated the plane had been flying in one of two big ‘corridors’, one in the northern hemisphere and one in the southern.

However last week it went back to its data and tried a new mathematical analysis, which concluded on Sunday.

The new analysis allowed them to discard the northern corridor, and focus more precisely on the southern route.

Based on this new information, Mr Najib announced on Monday that MH370’s last known position was in the middle of the Indian Ocean, west of Perth.

The nature of the pings indicated that the plane was still moving during that time.

“This is a remote location far from any possible landing sites,” he said. “It is therefore with deep sadness and regret that I must inform you that … flight MH370 ended in the southern Indian Ocean.”

The aeroplane had Inmarsat’s ‘Classic Aero’ satellite system, which collects information such as location, altitude, heading and speed, and sends it through Inmarsat’s satellites into their network.

This ‘ACARS’ (aircraft communications addressing and reporting system) was switched off or interrupted early in the flight, meaning no such information was available to track the plane.

However the Classic Aero system still sent hourly ‘pings’ back to Inmarsat’s satellite for at least five hours after the aircraft left Malaysian airspace, the company discovered.

These pings contained no data – they were just a simple ‘hello’ to keep the link open – however their timing and frequency contained hidden mathematical clues.

The company looked at the ‘Doppler effect’ – tiny changes in the frequency of the ping signal, caused by the relative movement of the satellite and the plane (the Doppler effect is the reason why, for example, police sirens are a different pitch or frequency depending on whether they are travelling toward you or away from you).

This analysis allowed Inmarsat to map two huge ‘corridors’ for the plane’s possible location, in big arcs stretching thousands of kilometres north and south of the point where the last radar contact with MH370 was made.

Australian and US experts took this information, added some assumptions about the plane’s speed, and narrowed the southern option into an area of ocean that could be realistically searched.

Meanwhile, Inmarsat went back to its satellite data. Its new analysis found that the northern route did not quite correlate with the frequency of the pings from the plane – meaning the plane must have been heading south.

It also suggested that the plane had been travelling at a steady cruising altitude above 30,000 feet.

They compared satellite data from MH370 with that from previous Malaysian Airlines Boeing 777 flights, going back a few weeks, in order to better model the movement of the plane.

“This really was a shot in the dark,” Chris McLaughlin, senior vice president of external affairs at Inmarsat told the BBC. “It’s a credit to the scientific team that they managed to model this.

“Just a single ‘ping’ can be used to say the plane was both powered up and travelling. And then by a process of elimination comparing it to other known flights and established that it went south.”

The UK’s Air Accidents Investigation Branch also contributed to the analysis.
Very cool stuff, actually.

 
At what point do they stop searching? I mean I know you go until at least a mo while the fdr is still pinging, but I wonder when/how they decide to stop.

 
So a plane goes missing, 2 weeks later they suddenly come up with a way to track it and it just happens to take them to the most remote and impossible to search place on the planet. Ok.

 
Has depth of ocean been mentioned where they are searching. If so I haven't heard it yet.
Where they are searching is exactly half way around the world from where I live, so I am expecting the nose of the plane to be coming up in my swimming pool any moment.

The pilot of doomed flight MH370 was devastated over his wife’s decision to move out of their family home, and could have taken the plane for a ‘last joyride’ before it crashed into the southern Indian Ocean killing all 239 people on board, says a long-time friend of the pilot.

The friend, also a pilot, said Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah didn’t appear to be in the right state of mind to be flying, warning that it was ‘very possible that neither the passengers nor the other crew on-board knew what was happening until it was too late’.

‘He's one of the finest pilots around and I'm no medical expert, but with all that was happening in his life Zaharie was probably in no state of mind to be flying,’ he told the NZ Herald on the condition of anonymity.

The friend said the pilot's relationships were breaking down, with Captain Shah involved with another woman and his wife having decided to move out of their family home.

He said the pilot could have seen MH370 as an opportunity to try high-risk maneuvers he'd perfected on his beloved flight simulator.

These shocking new claims follow reports that flight MH370 climbed to between 43,000 and 45,000ft shortly after the last voice communication from the cockpit of the plane.

If the pilot intentionally did this, it would be a very valid reason for the Malaysian government to delay the recovery. There is no way they would want to admit their pilot intentionally committed an act like this. People are capable of extremely irrational things when they are upset. I don't see it any different than someone shooting up a school instead of only committing suicide. He obviously had the capacity and knowledge to do everything that is believed the plane did and it's more likely than a terrorist since he is already in the cockpit. He would know when the dead space was between towers, it would explain why everything was turned off and the transcripts were perfectly normal before the "all right good night". It's hard for me to imagine a terrorist being able to enter the cockpit in the exact few minutes that they were between towers.

You think the government of Malaysia is going to ####### and delay an investigation because it reflects poorly on them if the pilot did it? That seems pretty absurd. Maybe if he was the PM's nephew or something, but just a random citizen? Nah.

They sure #ucked up for two weeks sending search parties to an area FAR away from where they now say it crashed. Why would they admit to it if there is a small chance the plane is ever found? Do you not realize how bad that looks for a company and their government? Gee, sorry families, our pilot was depressed and killed all of your relatives on our plane. It has always seemed like the government was hiding something with how bad their information was and it would certainly provide a logical explanation for why.

Pilot suicide explains everything.

China accounts for 7 percent of Malaysia Airlines’ global seat capacity and prolonged falloff in demand from Chinese travelers could turn out to be a major economic problem for Malaysia. The majority of the passengers on the Beijing-bound plane were Chinese, and the Chinese government and state-controlled media have criticized the way Malaysian officials have responded since the flight disappeared.

Story: Can Malaysia Salvage Its Public Image?
For Malaysia and other countries, China is an important new market. According to Scowsill of the World Travel and Tourism Council, the growth of outbound Chinese tourism is “exponential.” In 2010 there were 58 million trips by travelers from China, and by last year that figure had grown to 100 million. By the end of the decade, he says, there will be 200 million international trips from China.

That’s one reason airlines such as Hong Kong-based Cathay Pacific are adding flights. “I’m a bull when it comes to the potential for outbound traffic from China,” Rupert Hogg, the airline’s chief commercial officer, said in a speech on Thursday in New York. “The numbers are very large indeed.”

Once they land, Chinese like to shop. As my colleague Christina Larson reported in January, Chinese tourists in 2011 spent an average of $7,107 per person on overseas trips, compared with just $2,440 average spending by tourists from the U.S. With so many newly affluent Chinese traveling abroad for the first time, a country like Malaysia doesn’t want to alienate such a large pool of potential visitors. The Malaysians now have their work cut out for them trying to woo back the Chinese.

World revolves around money.

Flight 370 - "Pay no attention to the Benghazi behind the curtain"

-Stephen "Bunker" Hill

Fact: In 1997, Malaysian Airlines set a distance record in the Boeing 777-200ER, the same model as the missing Malaysian Airlines Flight 370. The record achieved that day was 10,823 nautical miles (20,044 km), in 21 hours and 23 minutes.
They do realize that the plane in question was likely empty, right? It flew eastward from Boeing Field, Seattle to Kuala Lumpur...so not exactly how a commercial flight would do it...Also, it was flying with the jet stream direction, which would've added many many miles to the distance traveled. No way it could've come BACK from Kuala Lumpur west-bound to Seattle.
It was also fully fueled. Airlines don't necessarily top it off on every flight.
Pretty sure this is satire, people. The website's name is literally "Boeinghazi".
I'm not sure if it's satire or nuttery yet. I'm rooting for nuttery.

A plane flying over the ocean gets lost after it crashes into the ocean. And the government tells us that it's lost in the ocean?!? And we're supposed to sit back and believe this horse puckey?!? :hot:

Yeah...this just screams of either bogus journalism or a publicity play by a friend. And to say that after some of the horrible VERIFIED reports on this case says a lot...

ETA - I was thinking about this...if I was that pilot, and I was as big of a lover of flying as this guy seemed to be, I wouldn't off myself by flying straight out to sea. I'd have some fun with that 777 first. You know at some point the guy wondered if he could barrel roll a 777, or maybe test the limits of the plane. If I was REALLY going to kill myself by crashing a 777, I'd have a little fun first. What a boring way to go. It's just not consistent with any suicide I've ever seen. Nobody hikes 300 miles into the wilderness to kill themselves with no note...Being this "public" but not leaving a note doesn't line up.

So we can see these from outer space but can't see/find them from a low flying plane or from a ship?

That's it! Set a course for Hoth, there will be nothing to stop us this time!

Sounds like a pretty solid lead, they will finally recover everything. I doubt anyone will ever truly know exactly what happened but I believe the pilot will take the fall or some type of suicide. It could get grisly if there are actual bodies found but I imagine by this point whatever was left of them was eaten up by whatever is swimming around there.

 
$100 bet to first person who replies. Official cause has to be by a party not associated with Malaysia. Any other cause besides a deliberate act by the pilot, I lose. Reasonable chance that these new satellite images show the plane and a cause can be determined.
