Interested to know more about the 5 fail to boards. They mustn't have come from a connecting flight as reports say their baggage had to be off loaded, so I assume they checked in at KL as I cant imagine the bags getting there before the pax.

Thomas,
Pingers only transmit on a limited range. Once the aircraft is found the pingers are then used to locate the boxes. Unfortunately it's a small fish in a big ocean until some trace is found. |
Please excuse my ignorance, but of the theories that one of the reasons debris may not have (yet) been found is due to disintegration in the air caused by catastrophic explosion, I have these questions:
1. What would cause an explosion so powerful that complete disintegration would occur and leave no debris, even small parts of the plane flung far and wide? 2. Why would such an explosion at night not be seen by those on the ground or other intra-Asia redeye flights flying at similar altitude on a clear night? 3. Etc. |

Again whilst what you say is indeed 100% correct, my response, is also right, especially the context of the post I was replying to. Now I am sure you will agree if an aircraft were have done was Laurent was suggesting then somewhere along the line it would be detected by radar and being unidentified suspicions would be aroused. Sadly other than a crash there is no way for an airliner to just disappear like it has done. So the answer to Laurent again is yes an aircraft with a transponder turned off will still be detected by radar, but add all of Hugh's caveats. |
Terror group Chinese Martyrs Brigade claim missing flight was ‘payback’, officials label it hoax
http://mobile.news.com.au/travel/tra...-1226851032980 On another note they are sending ships to the debris field spotted by a Cathay crew, crikey 250nm from the last position... |
You too can help look for the missing aircraft....
http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/headline...ia-flight-370/ An American company has set up a web site to enable users to scour the area where MH370 is believed to have gone down using imagery from 5 satellites. Web site below: http://www.tomnod.com/nod/challenge/...014?source=abc |
That's awesome. I'm already checking the first images.

I don't understand how an aircraft (At altitude or not) does not leave debris on the water if it exploded in flight.
IMO it would had left less clue if it went in whole, happy to be corrected |
if no debris has been found by the end of the week , might it be possible that the aircraft managed to land on water ( like the Hudson A320 ) although at night highly impossible to land on water without breaking up the aircraft ,
if it did land on water in one piece would it sink to the bottom or float ?? |
Have none of you see airport 77 the movie!
|
All this speculation and constant hunger for answers. It's clear that all possibilities are not being considered. Extraterrestrial's are no doubt responsible for the disappearance into "thin air". Unfortunately this scenario is light years away from human compression so the same tried and failed techniques of search and rescue are and will continue to fail as we will all sit here with blank faces and question marks hovering over our heads... ;)

You would think life rafts would be deployed and some pax floating with life jackets.
On another note, Malaysian authorities just held a press conference and ruled out the pax on the false passports and confirmed that they are asylum seekers. So back to aircraft failure and non boarding pax, surely they can track down the pax and interview them. I still have a gut feeling its in a hanger somewhere..... |
in addition to the mobile phones connecting there now sayimg its showing them online in online chat

As anyone who has travelled overseas knows it is quite common for someone to call you whilst roaming and hear ring tone, despite your phone being off or out of range.
If I had a dollar for the number of times the missus has asked why I didn't answer a call, despite the phone not ringing I would be very rich. The reason for it is quite simple, when you roam your last known location is given to your home carrier. When someone calls you the call is sent to this last known location. Whilst the call is being set-up your carrier will play ring tone to your caller, then when the roaming carrier gets back saying it cannot find your phone you get busy, so it seems like the call rang, got connected then disconnected, when in reality it didn't get through. But being seen as active on a data service, cannot explain that one. |

This is going to cause a stir, aussie girls in the flight deck of a Malaysian jet for the entire length of an international flight. The very same pilot who is first officer on the missing jet.
Seems he was a Captain on the 767 before being fo on the 777 http://aca.ninemsn.com.au/article/88...kpit-behaviour |
They can find water below the surface on planets millions km,s away with satellites yet they cant find a jetliner in one of the most populated areas on earth.

The way the media is covering this story at the moment is painting an awful picture of just how dumbed down and misled our society is becoming. |
Nothing on a current affair or today tonight is based on factual information.
|
The picture is actually an official one and was shown by a Malaysian police officer to the press.

Im sure your aware of the backside kicking you would be getting Hugh if you took someone up front inflight for photos. How do you know something similar dident happen on this flight and the tech crew accidently disconnected the autopilot causing an uncontrolled spin? My partner who is a current A330 pilot and myself being cabin crew would be dismissed if we let any pax in the cockpit! Anyway.... no more speculating from me.... |

here are the two lads using the fake passports, 2nd from left is using the Austrian and far right is using the Italian passport.. |
Montague S, where did you find that picture?
|
does it matter? it's 110% the two guys that are being talked about.
|
They are definitely wearing the exact same clothes as on the official pictures from the airport. But still when someone posts something here, I like to know the source of the information.

Latest Media Release
http://www.malaysiaairlines.com/my/e...dark-site.html This statement is in reference to the many queries on the alleged five (5) passengers who checked-in but did not board MH370 on 8 March 2014 from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing despite having valid tickets to travel. Malaysia Airlines wishes to clarify that there were four (4) passengers who had valid booking to travel on flight MH370, 8 March 2014, but did not show up to check-in for the flight. As such, the issue of off-loading unaccompanied baggage did not arise, as the said four passengers did not check in for the flight. Hence, the above claim is untrue.* Hmmm there the ones that said multiple times that all the baggage was offloaded, so now there saying they never checked in and no bags were loaded? But 24 hours ago they said they offloaded all the bags of the pax, things are not adding up here |

The aircraft is fitted with ACARS which is independent to the SSR/ADS-B. Where is that information?

The longer the story goes on, the longer the press will "beat" the story up. They will attempt to find "aviation experts" who will tell them what they want to hear. Bombs, terror, hijack, crew ....
You would of noticed that the story is no longer lead story on last nights news. No new vision no new clues. Again they need to find any angle they can get on the story. You can only interview the victims relatives so many times. ATSB director was on the ABC midday news and he said that he wouldn't speculate on what has happened. You can imagine how that goes down at some news services. Expect some weird/fantasy stories the longer that the story runs. |
