Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370: The Theories

[OwlHoot]

The "plane flew for four hours" line has already been shown to be crap - the last transmission received from the engines was 30 minutes before the plane disappeared, not four hours afterwards.

The "Flight into the middle of the Indian Ocean" proposition sounds to me like a smoke screen to draw speculation away from possible carryings on much closer to Malaysia (c.f. my earlier posts).

Why are they not out looking for the black box?

Linky?

Malaysia denies plane flew for hours after vanishing

Malaysian Airlines' CEO told a press conference Thursday that the last data transmission from the plane was recorded about 30 minutes after take-off. Ahmad Jauhari Yahya also said that Boeing and Rolls Royce did not receive any further data from the missing plane.

Why are they not out looking for the black box?

They are.

But the black box doesn't have any GPS signalling equipment - it will show up on radar, but doesn't broadcast it's location. When the Air France plane went down, it took two years to find the black box, and they knew roughly where the plane went down.

Thanks for the link Faqqer

I'm afraid the Malaysians haven't covered themselves in glory at the moment so most of what comes out from their media needs to be taken with a pinch of salt at the minute.

Not really. Much earlier in the thread I said it's either (1) a catastrophic breakup midair or (2) hypoxia. The latter would explain flying on for a long time with no contact and also why its hard to find the wreckage. There is a third possibility of malicious action (either one of the pilots or a hijacker) but the probability seems low for this.
All the rest of this thread is gullible bollux by cretins.

Hypoxia wouldn't account for the plane disappearing from radar, or the plane stopping sending signals back to Rolls Royce and Boeing, though.

Unnamed officials said the plane sent signals to satellites for up to five hours after its apparent disappearance.

This is fooking shadier than one of MF's business deals.

Clutching at straws now, though - if it's not where we thought it was, it must be somewhere else, so let's look somewhere else.

Once you have discounted the impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth and all that malarkey.

It's like looking for your car keys. If you look everywhere in the house you have to conclude they're not in the house after turning it upside down.

Then you go back to the car and find them in the ignition.
