Malaysia Airlines says Lost Contact with Plane carrying 239 people

No way.

Remember the airfrance plane that went down ?

Hit the water doing 90 MPH and broke up. Killed over 220 people.

They drug the tail out in one piece amd loaded it onto a barge.

If that plane hit the water doing 400 plus, even if it went straight down there would be debris.

And a oil slick.
Depends, we had one go into the Everglades and leave almost nothing visible on top.
 
Mystery Malaysia flight may have been hundreds of miles off course - CNN.com

This just keeps getting stranger.

The transponder signal is lost, then the plane changes directions and goes hundreds of miles off course, before disappearing from radar altogether.

It sure does.

If this report is accurate then it points to a hijack and since no signal was sent (at least that's what's been reported) that would also imply crew participation. However, if it was a hijack then the obvious question is "why"? It doesn't make a lot of sense to jack a plane and 200+ people then not make any demands.

Makes you wonder where the plane is in a whole different light.

That, at it also makes me wonder if the authorities involved are giving us accurate information then, if not, why not.

I agree.

From way over here, it feels a lot like a hijacking. Where was it headed? Was it shot down? Did it make it? Who's embarrassed enough not to tell us, or want us to know?

Yea I remember that.

Valuejet back in 96. Horrible accident.

Oxygen generators in the Cargo hold started a fire right after take off but there still WAS debris.

You wanna read something creepy, read about the Ghost of Eastern Flight 401 that also went down in the Everglades.

It is one of the most substantiated Ghost sighting stories in History.
 
Yes... and? Are you saying that all Iranians are terrorists?

No, of course not, I don't know. But, it is being reported that these two bought one way tickets, with cash, on stolen passports. I am not saying they were terrorists, but it certainly leaves a lot of questions for Malaysia does it not?

This is just really, really weird. I fervently hope it's a hijacking and everyone is alive and unharmed.

There's such a think as a "substantiated" Ghost sighting? :lamo

There IS such a 'THINK'' as a Substantiated Ghost sighting.

Perhaps you should read up a bit on Eatern Flight 401, and how many people reported the same type of encounter before coming to a conclusion.

Not really, as Interpol has pointed out it is relatively normal. Countries control passports when entering a country, not when exiting. At best they check if the picture is the same as the face, and dont put the passports through any sort of scrutiny when leaving a country... that is the destination countries problem so to say.

One way tickets with cash is a major red flag, at least it is here in the States....Are we the ONLY ones looking out for terror suspects?
 
From today's edition of The Washington Post:

The media shouldn’t issue unconfirmed reports about the missing airliner, Malaysia’s civil aviation chief complained this week, as it only raised people’s hopes and hampered the investigation.

And then Azharuddin Abdul Rahman proceeded to issue the latest in a series of contradictory statements on the missing plane – statements from the Malaysians that have added to the confusion, infuriated passengers’ relatives and frustrated nearby governments.

Contradictory statements from Malaysia over missing airliner perplex, infuriate

IMO, the continuing stream of contradictory statements from Malaysia--ranging from the plane's having been tracked to the Malacca Strait to people having checked their luggage but failed to board--has not been helpful to the investigation. To the extent that searchers have changed their focus on account of these reports, the Malaysian information has undermined the search. Malaysia needs to refrain from engaging in speculation. Moreover, given Malaysia's conduct to date, once the plane is found, it would probably be better if international aviation authorities not Malaysia took the lead on the investigation that would follow.

The United States, Great Britain, and the UAE regularly check the Interpol database for stolen passports on departing flights. Two airlines have now been authorized to query the database.

My guess is that all countries will begin checking the database for stolen passports after this disaster.

Eastern 401 happened. It crashed in the Everglades killing over a hundred passengers and crew.

Parts of the downed Whisperliner were reused, included the Galley Ovens on new Lockheed L1011's.

Substantiated in this case is Airline personel including Flight personel and passengers.

But hey, maybe they put their heads together and planned out a series of reports that involved different aircraft over several years, so that some internet poster in 2014 could call their bluff and qualify it all as a "fairy tail".

Sounds perfectly tailor-made for a hijacker then.
 
...and now there's an explosion at a NY building. Hmmmm....

The US is a paranoid, the UK does not... I enter Gibraltar regularly, a UK territory by just flashing my passport and I do not show it when I leave. And the same happened the last time I was in the UK. And who cares about the UAE.. they are probably just looking for more Israeli assassins.

My guess is that all countries will begin checking the database for stolen passports after this disaster.

Not if it has nothing to do with why the plane disappeared. I highly doubt that countries would want to add even more time wasting at airports, especially when they are already under pressure to ease the present draconian aspects of checks.
 
Interesting.
Looks like they May have located crash site.
More consistently, it's just Southeast of last reported position and where there were some reports of sightings.
China has satellite data of course.
And they look at it often. They are in alot of maritime territorial disputes with neighbors.
CNN quotes Chinese as saying objects were about the right size for wreckage and cited dimensions in Meters.
Images reportedly captured Sunday morning.
