Midway is more extreme. BUT, this was a 777 loaded with 200 or so bodies + baggage, cargo and fuel. That eliminates several possible safe landing sites, though still leaving hundreds within range.
Do you think..... If givin the chance.... We would have shot down the flights on 9/11 had we known where they were headed???? We lose life everyday to save life right? That is what our troops do every day.... where is that line in the sand? IDK I'm just throwing stuff out there
I hear ya. But I'm leaning more toward jacked or catastrophic disaster/malfunctions. I recall on of the white/black hat hack conferences somebody showed it was a feasible hack...and it wouldn't be some script kiddie. I'd think the shoot down is less likely...my 2 centavos.
Of course it would but that would be un necessary as you would already know where you shot it down right?? However if you let it go for, oh lets say a good 2 weeks well it would be much harder to have any evidence that it was shot down. Lets say in the event of malfunction, you just shot down a passenger jet that you thought was an enemy / terrorist aircraft... No Government is exactly gonna be runnin to come forward with that news. Took over two years to find the box on the last plane that went down in the middle of a 2 mi deep stretch of ocean and they knew EXACTLY the plane crashed..
I'm not a big conspiracy wacko, but I have followed this deal pretty close and not a darn thing adds up.... NOTHIN
Let's think this through...If it was shot down, the country doing the shooting would need the means (radar, weaponry) to detect, lock and accurately take the plane out of the air...short of China or India who in SE Asia would have the means let along, accuracy AND inclination and then want to cover it up? N Korea would've been a shot through heavily monitored airspace. China, I'd suspect our spooks would've detected. India seems too much a stretch. Hijacked? Middle Eastern countries, Indonesia? N Korea? maybe, but it's a long flight and long odds of not being detected unless you stayed over the ocean, then carefully evaded radar near land... As you said, it doesn't seem to add up.
For me, the white elephant in the room is the entire southern tract. I can't for the life of me figure out why a plane would ever fly on that path. There's nothing down there south of Australia and they are showing the "debris field" south of Australia. Anyone flying this plane would have known the amount of fuel and the planes range. They would have known there would be no way to make it to land in that direction. I also can't buy the flying blind scenario either. In my mind, there's no doubt this was deliberate and very well planed and probably even better executed. We're two weeks into this and nobody has a clue what happened.
They gave up. They need to allow China to get technically involved. We are assuming some form of criminal mischief. Not sure, caught a short on it this AM. ??????????????????
My local news said last night that the plane was found on radar, that it had been tracked into the south Indian ocean, and that everyone had perished. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
South Indian Ocean is the location of the last known satelite pings, they have found (via satelite image) debris in the same area. They are CONCLUDING that the plane went down there and due to it's location everyone perished. Nothing has been confirmed, they have been unable to verify, if in fact any of the debris is really from the plane.
Last story I read said that they haven't actually found anything yet, just speculation based on the assumed flight path.
Malaysian Airlines: Hey, sorry about jerking you around about the whereabouts of your loved ones, but we can't find them and they are probably dead. Here's $5000 bucks. We're square, now, right? Chinese Families Vent Anger at Rally Outside Malaysian Embassy
