Malaysia Airlines Plane

I've just heard a theory that the plane's been hijacked for use in a later terrorist attack! Might explain why phones are ringing out (if that's true) and there's no debris to be found. Government cover up?
Surely someone would have spotted it flying through their airspace though?
 
Could be a point to that Lux, seems that everything points to a pilot being involved. and for some reason I get a feeling it wasn't a suicide plot.

I mean why turn off the transponder, change direction, altitude, and fly additional miles for something like that?
 
Phones are no proof though....they would've sold the iphones by now!
 
Is the location where it disappeared the ideal spot to make something disappear? I mean, is it just outside range of main radar of the countries as such that you can fly low enough to move without being seen?
 
I'm not to sure about that PVR. I imagine that it would be near impossible to avoid fishing boats, Pleasure boats, Private small planes. The list goes on. It would be hard to keep anyone from talking about a very large plane flying low over the sea for very long.

One thing to look at is that the plane had 7 hours of fuel for the 6 hour flight. Minus the flight time that they knew about before vanishing. I imagine that a possible destination could be worked out considering the range.
 
Agreed that it is highly unlikely, just trying to imagine if you were planning something, what would be the best location to do so.
 
The reason for that was a bit odd, i.e. they said that a phone could appear to ring based on the last location.

Well, two things:

- If they are in a plane, all phones are off (for GSM network at least).
- I have never managed to get a phone which was switched off to appear to ring ...

Hmmmm that's a bit weird ain't it?
 
Apparently when you dial a mobile, you first get through to the network which then forwards the call on to the number. So the initial ringing sound is an 'artificial' ring if you like which is used just to fill the silence whilst you're initially connecting to the actual network. Though I stand to be corrected by any telephone engineers out there in Zedland?
 
If the mobile is off or out of coverage you should not get a ring tone at all, the call will fail or go to voicemail. Very strange they are ringing out - that would imply they are charged, switched on, within coverage and lacking voicemail. Unless the Chinese mobile network is different to ours, which I don't think it is...
 
The ringing phones this is a complete red herring and irrelevant imo. No official agency or airline has managed to replicate the ringing phones, and the batteries die in modern smart phonrs anyway. Plus why would phones be left on during the flight.

I would think it has disintegrated.

Unless the reports of it veering off course are true. << Have these been quantified?

I bet there are always a few people who forget to switch them off, or don't put them in 'flight mode' when they turn them on after take off. The FAA are looking at relaxing the rules further, and according to this article some passengers on BA flights to NYC have been allowed to send texts and use wifi. Not sure how they do that over the Atlantic - must be via satellite, hence why only business class get to do it as satellite bandwidth is astronomically expensive.

Not sure what Malaysia Airline's policy is, but I agree that the phones ringing is a red herring.
 
Evidence now that it was tracked on radar flying towards the Andaman Islands, 100's of miles off it's course.

From BBC News Asia website...

"This story is a mystery for sure, but information is now starting to emerge that allows us to join some of the dots.

We know the aeroplane was fitted with a satellite system that enabled it to pass information to the ground during flight. It is my understanding that this system, operated by London's big satellite telecommunications company Inmarsat, received an automated signal from Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 at least five hours after the plane was reported lost.

There is no way that signal could have been sent unless the plane was intact and powered. These types of satellite systems can pass a range of data, even voice calls.

But even if the last communication was a simple, automated ping carrying no real information, its receipt alone should make it possible to work out an approximate position for the aircraft at the time of that last signal. This may well explain why the US has now sent search teams to the Indian Ocean"
 
Is it possible that the plane has been deliberately ditched into the sea like the one that landed in the Hudson river & has gently sunk leaving no debris?

I think the pilot might have mentioned it if he was going to do that :)

Entirely possible in itself. The worry/concern is how the plane managed to fly completely off course, over mainland Thailand, causing incursions in a number of countries with modern air force/radar capabilities without anyone picking it up. If the reports are correct of ACARS/Engine management data being pinged for several hours after last contact then without any country coming forward with information picked up from radar/satellite monitoring stations, it may never be found.
