Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 - Page 3

I don't fly planes, but our rules are the same. If you have loss of comms, you continue to what the last thing the ATC gave you. If there was a failure in your transponder, you would turn around if you can and they will figure it out that you can't respond. There's no way an aircraft with that many people would continue on a random flight path to no where and risk all of those lives. It's definitely crazy. I think it may have been hijacked or crashed. That's the only obvious answer.

the person who supposedly saw it on fire was in the area where it disappeared. if it went down in that area they would have found it by now.

mikeyg36 · 03-16-2014, 10:14 AM

I say hijacked.

BRcar · 03-16-2014, 10:27 AM

I say hijacking gone bad, then crashing into the ocean.

My honest opinion is that it was stolen/hijacked. All of the passengers were probably killed, and the plane will be used in a big terrorist attack, possibly against the united states. No one has come out and taken credit for taking it, because they want everyone to believe it crashed. We will see it again, could be years, who knows, terrorists are very patient and deliberate.

1) Steal a commercial jet
2) Throw some new paint on it
3) Load your nuclear weapon on it
4) Fly it over your intended target and detonate

No need to develop miniaturized warheads, ballistic missiles, or guidance systems. Besides, launching a missile raises red flags and gives away the launch site. Just a theory but it would be the simplest way for a terrorist organization to deliver a nuke and the most anonymous way for someone like North Korea or Iran to do it without putting their head on the chopping block.

It would be hard to hide a 777 on the ground so I would think they would want to move quickly. That is, unless it was flown onto a military air field with adequate hangars and security.

I'm not sure that simply changing the aircraft's visual appearance is sufficient. There's schedules and transponders and ATC communication codes.

None of those things stopped someone from flying off with the plane in the first place. Who knows at this point?

I am thinking the same

Wouldn't be to attack the USA there too many radars and early warning detections that the plane wouldn't even get close enough to land I think to do anything like that what fighter plans scramble in less than 15 mins right?

mikeyg36 · 03-16-2014, 01:21 PM

And people want defense cuts. That's a joke.

That's what I was thinking. There would be a pretty quick response to an unidentified aircraft on radar that wasn't responding to ATC.

AZCamaroFan · 03-16-2014, 01:57 PM

The funny thing is for all the talking heads on tv saying it's not possible it could be stolen and used in an attack that's just the thing I've heard that they fear in the past year.
and as far as our defense budget...
We're $17 Trillion in the hole and all the money is in social security, medicare and defense.
