Malaysian Airlines B777 still missing (1 Viewer)

Dawson Field did have a concrete runway and a hijacked 747 didnt land there due to size concerns.

I doubt the 777 has rough field capabilities.

Where the aircraft is not exactly full of abandoned airfields and landing on the water is a poor choice but if this was planned then a landing zone was planned. Or why not simply crash the 777?
 
Then, too, there are full-blown psychotics who like to kill people for giggles. Usually they want kill to other people, not themselves.
 
The way I understand it, the engines send out performance-related data via the aircraft's satellite communication system. These data are not monitored in real-time, but are used for engine performance tracking, which is used to assist in scheduling inspections.

This is called ACARS, most big airliners have it:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_Communications_Addressing_and_Reporting_System

As for cockpit voice recorders and so forth, these are still vital components and and might in future be capable of digital up link in real time, but data will most likely still be kept with the aircraft in hardware format. When you activate the anti collision beacon (red rotating light) on an airliner, the CVR kicks in automatically. On the ground, if you are advising people to keep back from the aircraft, say if you want to start up or do engine/APU runs, after a period of time it switches off.
 
it wouldnt be ther first time a member of the flight crew took a plane down intentionally. the absence of debris is what makes it extremely puzzling. either it is very well hidden or the plane was WAY off course and they are looking in completely the wrong area. or the dharma inititive was real.....
 
I remember when the KAL 747 was shot down by the Soviets in 1987, there was never any wreckage or bodies recovered; the Soviets cleaned up the mess pretty comprehensively, going out in boats to pick up the debris. Wreckage from plane crashes moves great distances owning to the course of the water over time. When the Titanic sank, bodies and debris was washing up on the Canadian coast for months afterwards.
 
The fact that so much is still unkown, even when some info aerial is collected in real time, still points to a serious **** up(s) between security, military, geopolitical radar coverage watching of those nations around Southern Asia.
It is possible it flew else where, and also the US's Missile Launch Detection System apparently has not detected any explosions in the South China Indian Seas/Oceans area.

The info coming at from all nations involved in the search is still very slow, so it is possible that really they don't know; as some of the countries around the coast of this area are least developed, most war torn or tecnologically restricted or they are political weight(s) reasonings behind keeping as much as possible behind a dam; either to suit their own ends, by terrorist request, to limit public reaction anger, and also the secret nature of some surveillance tecnologies that many countries might ave seen something with - let alone combing their individual recent data collections from those systems.

If it wasn't destroyed by some countries self defence missiles -because its transponders were off, and it didn't ditch in the water, then it must've landed somewhere, and the lack so far of a terrorist statement, could suggest a hostage for ransom/profit.

I'd say this guy might have a point, it;'d explain the lack of usual info, the inabilities of all searching nations to gain knowledge, and how civilian radars traffic controllers could've been tricked.
...particularly the near end of article with Xingjian province, Kyrgyzstan, or Turkmenistan as possible destinations.

Shikang/Xingjian (Islamic) is a Chinese province; recently too, Chinese Xingjian have had armed confrontations, riots and islamist troubles.
Russian controlled/co-opted dictatorial proxies of Kyrgyzstan, or Turkmenistan, absurdly out there I know, the Russians could be by proxy, getting ready to pressurise the Chinese to support them in there upcoming Western Border Plans, should the US try to bend China via existing business, economic and trade to sit on the fence or go against Putin in some way, as they have slowely in regards to Syria.

the engine "pings" are interesting. they are linked to satelittes and not connected to any other communication device. the engines ping when it is running. the location, direction, or alt cant be determined from this....it could have been at 30k or sitting on a runway. but that is a long time and can be a LOT of real estate to have to cover.

Shikang/Xingjian (Islamic extremists) iirc are responsible for a mass stabbing at a railway station where 29 people were killed and ~140 wounded. yep looked it up...

Who's Behind The Mass Stabbing In China? : Parallels : NPR

doesnt mean they are acters in this incident..but interesting just the same.
 
there's also a few "blogs" (do NOT get me started about those!) that are "reporting secret sources" informing them that the U.S. CIA has hijacked the flight and taken it to a "secret location"...

One of these alleged locations is a "secret interrogation" base at U-Tapao Thailand. This based was supposedly a location for secret B-52 mission during the Vietnam war and is still used by the CIA and NASA for secret missions (wait...what? NASA?) and is under the disguise as an international airport. According to their "secret sources", flight MH370 switched identities with a U.S. military cargo plane.

They go one to quote a "New York Times article" (no link or reference):
One such place in Thailand is Utapao Air Base, 90 miles south of Bangkok. During the Vietnam War, Utapao was humming 24 hours a day as a base for B-52′s carrying out bombing raids over North Vietnam. Despite Thailand's studied neutrality on the war in Iraq — one Thai foreign affairs official said during the war that the country had no position — Mr. Thaksin Shinawatra allowed Utapao to be used by American warplanes flying into combat in Iraq, as he had earlier, during the war in Afghanistan.

Utapao is also probably where Qaeda operatives have been interrogated, retired American intelligence officials said, explaining that the base had facilities for sophisticated interrogations.

They get a "first hand account by someone who wishes to be anonymous" regarding the activities there:
"I live 2 miles from Utapao and have run into people in military green who act like they do not want to be seen. Twice in the nearby 7-11 they acted strange, refused to make eye contact and appeared unhappy to be recognized as Americans, they jumped into a VW Van with Bangkok plates and others and left quickly. Yes, something is going on there and has been for a while.

It's difficult to describe this, but I left those encounters with the feeling something strange was happening.

No seriously, I don't make stuff up like this; their behavior was really bizarre. When I run into the American Navy people here during the joint Thai/American exercises they usually are very friendly, outgoing and surprised to see an American in a Thai teachers uniform and want information on the best places to go and how to get there. I've even driven some of them to Pattaya over the past few years. But these guys were completely different. I probably should not have mentioned this at all, but the behavior was so strange It's difficult to forget."

They go on for quite some time about the flight being escorted by E-3 AWACS to hide the flight and then drones and on and on and on...

The ONLY thing they did not mention, was the secret Nazi base in the Antarctic.

I was actually getting a good laugh out of the whole thing, but this morning, the page is gone.
