NoFail Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 Well in the last decade I flew that airline several times as we had a customer over there I had responsibility over. Flew into Kuala Lumpur and Penang, mostly Penang. I used the airline because they were pretty much the cheapest. Looks good on the outside, but I would would have rather used one of our, much better, domestic carriers. I remeber stories of the Malaysian Airlines maintenance records and wondered about it since it was relevant in my life at that time. Then I did not have to make those trips anymore. Soon after there was a bad accident which involved one of their flights. I decided if I ever have to go back there again, and it does not look like it will ever be the case again, I would not patron the airline. Who knows WTF happened? I surely do not know squat. My first inclination was maintenance issue. Recent history will make many peoples first inclination to be something in the foul play department. I need hard evidence to make that kind of summation. Until then my mind is open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoFail Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 Oh yeah, if the incident does indeed involve terrorist activity or it was shot down or whatever like that, it seems to me that such an evil organization to carry out such a dastardly act would seek full recognition for said act, otherwise why do it? I have so far not heard of any bastards seeking this recognition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sisco Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 (edited) I am guessing the plane was taken to be used in something like 9/11, and it either made it to somewhere like Kazhakistan successfully, or somewhere with a deserted strip, or something went wrong and it is in the Bay of Bengal. Also, don't count Russia, or possibly China out. Either has the capability to hijack it and make it "disappear, to use for something nefarious. As absurd as it sounds, who knows what Putin might be hatching in relation to his recent actions in the Crimea and the Ukraine. Think what a disguised civilian airliner with a nuclear weapon in it could wreak before it was discovered. If I was CIA, NSA, and Obama, I would be covering all the bases, until it is found.

planeflyer21 Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 Anyone paid attention to the "missing nukes" drama? This airline would make a great delivery vehicle. Especially after all the hyperbole about "An airburst over the USA would wipe out our power grid" crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shibiwan Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 (edited) Interesting & plausible idea of what could have happened. MH370 followed flight SQ68 closely, hiding in the radar shadow over India/Pakistan. http://keithledgerwood.tumblr.com/post/79838944823/did-malaysian-airlines-370-disappear-using-sia68-sq68 Edited March 17, 2014 by shibiwan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
survivalshop Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 Me thinks they know more about this then they are telling . All the surveillance we have in that area or where they could fly to , to land that big sucka & no one has seen a thing ? I was told almost all cell phones shut down at a certain altitude , so if so , no one could use them , not to mention it wouldn't take long to get out of cell range in that area of the world .

Cover up, mondo... [off topic] Lets just say that Malaysia has a history of racial tension with ethnic Chinese (i.e. from China or otherwise), and a good bit still lingers today. Example, from a Malaysian political leader: Malaysia (native Malay majority) will become like Singapore (ethnic Chinese majority) if there's a political change.... http://www.malaysia-today.net/dr-m-malaysia-will-be-like-singapore-if-pakatan-takes-power/ Edited March 19, 2014 by shibiwan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texas30cal Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Now I see they claim it was seen at 8:11am by satellite , hmmm, almost 8 hrs of flying time at 500mph (that should be a conservative number) = how many miles? Something doesn't add up, what is the airplanes range with a full load of fuel ? It was only supposed to have enough to go the 2700 mile distance + a little extra. The biggest question, if it was seen on satellite then why can't they say where the hell they saw it? My money is on Iran . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest question, if it was seen on satellite then why can't they say where the hell they saw it? My money is on Iran . Sounds like the CNN experts talking out their corkhole. While the domestic law in the USA is to have enough fuel to reach your destination (at a minimum) plus a reserve of X-minutes (depending on VFR or IFR), major operators often fuel the plane up for multiple back-to-back legs without refueling. The Boeing 777 was designed for maximum endurance and fuel efficiency. Their sales pitch was "New York to Tokyo for less" to all the airlines. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_777#Specifications With the models having a median range of 8,892 standard U.S. miles (7,725 nautical miles), with a typical cruising speed of 560 mph (490 knots), that gives them an endurance of 15.87 hours, not counting reserves. The range will reach 1/3 of the way around the planet. Even with everyone armchairing flight paths, radar pings, and drug addict socialites saying they found it on Google earth, the reality is until it is found it can be 1/3 of anywhere.
