Missing airliner was last detected over tiny island - 100s Of Miles In The Other Direction...
 

It was half way to Indonesia - The opposite direction it was supposed to be going...

Its on CNN now - Its starting look like a hijacking, really strange stuff.....

WeHatePorn will be wetting himself:1orglaugh...

someone stole the plane it seems :2 cents::2 cents::2 cents:

I thought flight paths were monitored ?

With two Iranians on board with stolen passports, and a co-pilot with a history of letting girls into the cockpit mid flight so they could all party... what could possibly go wrong?

Could be because those guys can barely see with their slanty halfway shut eyes and all.:disgust

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

It depend if they are reachable from the airports. Like here in Montreal, let say a flight goes to UK, passed New found land they are no longer on radar, and they have a pre-defined route, but if in mid-atlantic the plane explode, they won't know until the time they are supposed to get back on radar.

Can't help but think of lost

You just know that thing will suddenly appear on radar as if noting has happened in a few years...

What about troubles and heading for nearest airport?
I admit I did not look at the map so not sure if that is a good comment :)

It flew right back over Malaysia past KL and few other airports - The biggest issue is that someone turned off the transceiver just before it turned - I cant think of a reason to do that, and it would have to be someone in the cockpit as far as I know...

It seems someone did not want to know here it was going.....

I looked that up and yes, it's a complicated process and has to be deliberate by someone who knows the systems. There are multiple redundant power sources that need to be shut off to shut down the transponder.

they have silent alarm in case of hijacking - unless the pilots did it

:2 cents::2 cents::2 cents:

wtf :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

DOH - Transponder...

Again, if it's an act of terrorism shouldn't some terrorist group be claiming responsibility?

i bet he wants to trade the plane against nord corean
trouts

:upsidedow



Is this whole thing starting to sound familiar to anybody else ...?

new twist on reality tv?

We knew it had changed course before it disappeared, but this puts the plane on the opposite side of Malaysia. They are looking (more or less) in the wrong ocean.

Interesting indeed.

Goldfinger, right?

I don't get why if the plane had changed direction and was flying to a different airport did air traffic control not know this

and if they decided to fly to another airport because of 'problems' surely it wouldn't just disintegrate without trace much later.

And why did the transponders not work or the black box.

And when are they so keen to discount terrorism yet the US say it can't be ruled out.

I think someone is covering up something.

i am not sure how to scale the map was.. but they literally flew back past the airport they took off from.. how was that done wthout being seen on radar?

Welcome to the third world where corruption and cover-ups are just another day in the office, no matter how disastrous they may be. It's hard to get the truth about anything on this side of the world. The last crash they had here was blamed on ghosts. Yea, you read that right. The official reason was that the spirits were angry so they caused the accident. :Oh crap

Malaysia rejected the USA's offer to help them, so you can pretty much figure out what kind of monkey business is already going on. The Malaysian military are the ones who tracked it further, or so they claim. Whatever the cause, it will somehow be used to benefit the elites in Malaysia and/or China.

Something funky is going on. That much I believe.

Not to be an alarmist...but what if a hijacked airliner becomes the delivery system for a nuke somewhere?

That crossed my mind too, apparently planes (even jumbos) get stolen more often than you'd think (although, with people on board is unusual but that has happened before too).

Yeah but they don't suddenly gain the ability to avoid radar detection.

I think radar has limits - Over the Atlantic I know planes are off radar for most of the journey - They are positioned by the transponders that had been turned off...

They are saying that military radar saw them for longer, I suppose that makes sense - the military would have radar in more places and even at sea - They eventually dropped off altogether, but that does not mean they were not there.....

Link?

thanks

It's not unlikely that one of those countries shot it down by mistake or crippled it and then it crashed. I remember when Ukraine/Russia shot one down returning from Isreal and denied it right to the end and no one else was saying anything for quite a while and then finally, a NATO country (if i recall correctly) threatened to produce satellite photos of the missile detonating near the plane. The Russians kept saying over and over how they had observers there and everything went according to plan with the test missile and had no clue what happened to the plane until they were about to be exposed.

Have Aliens been officially ruled out? Sounds to me like the kind of thing they might do.....

Most people on this board just know that it's Bush's fault. They don't know how yet. But they know it is.

Yeah, on their home planet they ran outta airline food.

Unidentified aircraft get blasted out of the sky nowadays.

My grand father was shot down in his b-24 in the andaman sea and was a pow on one of the islands during wwII

What a limited imagination you have :)

How do you know that the man the aliens identified as the smartest on the planet was not on that plane? Or that the passengers on the plane were all Aliens who had been living amongst us evaluating human potential and their work having been completed and having decided that humans have no potential their work here was finished.......

That said, I quite like airline food personally.

On GFY, generally anything more than two-syllable words is wasted on 99% of the crowd. :winkwink:

Or perhaps the dumbest man on the planet was on the flight and they took him back to the home planet to demonstrate how easy we'd be to assimilate.

I liked the photos in the menu. Then I saw what they served the passenger across the aisle. So I just ordered more alcohol. :1orglaugh

Hacker demonstrates remote airplane hijacking using Android phone

Hugo Teso, who is a security professional as well as a licensed pilot demonstrated how one could remotely hijack an airplane using nothing but an Android device as the tool.

It turns out that two important aviation systems -- the Automated Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) and the Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS) -- are completely unencrypted and unauthenticated, allowing anyone with the right tools and a little know-how to access the system remotely without too much trouble.

Teso was able to control the steering of a Boeing jet, as long as the plane was in autopilot mode.

Not really. They could bring down a plane and not claim responsibility to test security.

You would think they would put ships out there with the sole intention of tracking such flights...

Why not save all the work and just show them this board? :winkwink:

Or satellites.
In about 3 weeks you can see on Google earth what happened.

Scatty thought

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

The truth is boring....

During 2004 in the United States, pilot error was listed as the primary cause of 78.6% of fatal general aviation accidents, and as the primary cause of 75.5% of general aviation accidents overall. For scheduled air transport, pilot error typically accounts for just over half of worldwide accidents with a known cause.

Is it crashed or what?

As usual, the media in this case are being unhelpful.

Civilian radar is passive, it cannot see a plane, it only sees the transponder (when its turned on and functioning).
The transponder broadcasts information to local ATC networks.(like your phone does to your network)
1. Position
2. Altitude
3. Bearing
4. Condition. ( the pilots normally set this to 1000 )

If there is a problem, either pilot can type in 7500 (Hijack); 7600 (catastrophic failure) or 7700 (mayday).

Military radar, on the other hand, is active (doesn't matter if the transponder is working or not) it "sees" the aircraft. However its range is much shorter..<200 miles in good conditions.

The US military have been searching to the west of Malaysia since Sunday at least, possibly Saturday. They still haven't come up with anything.

According to Channel News Asia, they have their hands somewhat tied. And now with the military coming out with info that they clearly had been sitting on for 4 days, they have been letting everyone search in the wrong area in purpose. Doesn't pass the smell test.

As TheSquealer said above, they may have shot it down by accident, or someone in a high position is in on the whole thing and the plane is being repurposed for something else. Until it's found, there is no way to know. Malaysia (and SE Asia in general) is full of radical Muslims, so the sky is the limit here when trying to think of what may have happened. The only way to put it all to rest is to find the plane and the black box.
