Malaysian Airlines 777 with 239 Aboard Missing

Red Dawn?

The 777 is a very modern and expensive plane. Who would own one but be unable to buy spare parts on the regular market?

uhh anyone whose a cheap bastard would buy those parts. Just like cars. If you can afford the car you should be able to afford the parts but still people deal in stolen parts.

I don't think the plane was stolen. I think it was an elaborate suicide on part of the pilot and the plane is at the bottom of the ocean in an area where no one is looking.

Step aside, Courtney Love's got this one.

A new theory from an experienced pilot keeps it simple. http://www.wired.com/autopia/2014/03/mh370-electrical-fire/

After takeoff, a fire breaks out in the cockpit. Pilot switches off the electrics, inputs change in course to the West for the closest airport at Pulau Langkawi, fire overwhelms the pilots, plane flies until it runs out fuel and crashes in the Indian Ocean.

That's appropriately mundane.

The argument sounds like a good one to me. It explains a big mystery: the course change.

Yeah, a couple of key points in the comments are:
1. That lost post by a New Zealander working a rig who saw a burning plane and provided coordinates.
2. The plane could have gone to 45K feet to starve the fire from oxygen, at that altitude the plane is hard to control which could then explain the rapid descent to 23K feet. Or that the rapid descent was an attempt to extinguish the fire.
3. If it was an electrical fire, the communications could have been cut.

So the reason the plane hasn't been found is that it was flying over the ocean where there is no radar and searchers have been looking in the wrong place the whole time.

A bit late to the party with that:

Maybe she's hoping the whole "murdered her husband" theory will finally die and be forgotten about if she becomes known as the hero who found MH370.

Well, that simple theory is now being debunked. By Slate though, whose track record is a spotty as a Malaysian official.

^^Yeah, I was just catching these updates on the course change before the verbal sign off. I wish that there weren't 239 lives at stake because this has been so much fun chasing down theories with new information just "popping" up.

Not necessarily. The new course could've been (as the article at the link suggests) an emergency alternative route, programmed as a simple precaution.

This case is confounding because there's very little we know for sure. Every important clue is either dubious or ambiguous, and it's hard to find a scenario that fits all of them.

I'm beginning to think that the assumed position of the plane, determined from its final data transmission, is wrong. I'm thinking this plane made one turn--at the onset of the incident--and that it kept right on going in that direction because there was no one left conscious/alive to control it.

I don't know.....

Now they are reporting the plane turned before the "good night" message. Which would indicate that nothing happened at that point.

Now they are going through the deleted files of the pilots simulator.

Simulator...............or TIME MACHINE?
I sure wouldn't want to be the first person trying it out. You might find yourself back in the Middle Ages walking around saying "you know.....this is a long time ago!"

Kind of fishy that the files were deleted like that. I wonder if they can retrieve them. I get told all the time that nothing I delete on my computer is really gone. Unless of course it's something I actually want back.

‫Well it just says files were deleted. That could mean anything from him hiding what he was going to do with the plane to him just deleting old useless files.

It may be found. By the Aussies no less. http://www.10tv.com/content/stories/2014/03/20/ap-satellite-images-find-aircraft-parts.html

CNN is getting retarded. Now they have hosts asking if the plane was sucked in by a black hole. It's fucking insulting.

I'm crossing my fingers on this and hoping it is the plane parts so they can get to the real work of finding the main wreck and finding out what happened.

Reports coming out now that some debris has been found. A merchant ship is almost there to pick up the items and look at them.

Yes, the jet did disappear into a black hole. A black hole called the Indian Ocean.

Link? "Cause I'm pretty sure that if they said it, they were using it metaphorically, rather than literally.

Was there some red matter involved?

Naturally, it's the top headline on Drudge. And no, it wasn't metaphorical, the host was actually asking the guests about the possibility of black holes, or wormholes. It was in the context of talking about internet "conspiracy theories" that have sprung up, but yeah, they were talking about black holes.

The Briori did it.

Unfortunately, you would be wrong.
