Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370: The Theories

[zoco]

It's big sea there, hard to find for sure even though surely radars should have tracked it???

French airliner that crashed in ocean some years ago took ages to find.

They found the tailplane floating in the middle of the ocean not long after, though.

It was airplane full of Western citizens so perhaps search was taken a bit more seriously.

You'd have thought the air RADAR would have tracked the decent.

The all engine stall of the Air France jet occurred as a result of a fuel saving technique. Even after the stall the in-experienced copilots were broadcasting mayday loud and clear.

No distress signals were broadcast on this occasion.

That was the first part of the aircraft to hit the water. Must have been a terrifying experience for those onboard.

Better to die terrified than live forever.

That's creepy.

Option 1) then. It's a government job. No terror group has the resources to disappear a aircraft of this size without someone saying. "hang on.."

The langoliers have got it.
