[QUOTE=teh pirate;44298246]I always thought it looked like a hijacking. The electrical fire theory is an option but it just strikes me as an unusual state of flight to occur at. [editline]20th March 2014[/editline] Transponder off, [B]the plane is invisible [/B] over the ocean. If you're stealing it as a weapon, you don't want anyone to know where you're taking it, now do you?[/QUOTE] Not to radar it isn't. Nor to the naked eye.
[QUOTE=Cmx;44298295]Fires can start at any time, its not like the pilot turns on an ok to start fire sign on takeoff or landing.[/QUOTE] "Oh for fuck's sake, fire, can I not just land first?" "nah"
[QUOTE=Cmx;44298295]Fires can start at any time, its not like the pilot turns on an ok to start fire sign on takeoff or landing.[/QUOTE] Fires don't randomly kick off either, there has to be a catalyst. Things should be relatively stable once cruising.
[QUOTE=Morbo!!!;44298037]That would assume 1: The hijackers know how to land, 2: They have somewhere to land within range and 3: Know how to disable the communication systems. Why doesn't it surprise me that the second there's a mystery surrounding the disappearance of an airliner, it's mostly Americans who jump to the conclusion of a hijacking.[/QUOTE]With practice, virtually anyone can learn to land. Finding somewhere within range is a matter of planning ahead, you wouldn't undertake something like this without having that worked out. And clearly disabling the systems including the transponder has been done before, its not an entirely novel concept. Why does it not surprise you? Xenophobia.
I keep telling everyone, they flew into a time rip and were eaten by langoliers.
[QUOTE=Morbo!!!;44298441]Not to radar it isn't. Nor to the naked eye.[/QUOTE]If you fly low enough, not even radar can spot you, the horizon. It's dangerous, but possible. As for seeing the plane, not every spot on this planet is inhabited, especially in that region. Furthermore, remember that this took place in the dead of night.
Where could they have landed/planned to land the plane? Secret terrorist airfield?
[QUOTE=smurfy;44299137]Where could they have landed/planned to land the plane? Secret terrorist airfield?[/QUOTE]I don't know the geography of the region intimately and I don't know the location of all plausible landing strips.
Secret pirate aircraft carrier.
[QUOTE=Doctor Zedacon;44299168]I don't know the geography of the region intimately and I don't know the location of all plausible landing strips.[/QUOTE] It's not a cessna they're trying to put down, it's a bloody airliner. I doubt there are many places in the world, let alone in the area, where you could land one without damaging it that isn't also an airport.

Even if terrorists somehow landed the plane in a super-secret airstrip in the middle of nowhere, where would they get the fuel for a future attack? That shit ain't cheap Then again, your average Allah-Akbar isn't know exactly for long-term plans

That shit ain't cheap Then again, your average Allah-Akbar isn't know exactly for long-term plans[/QUOTE] yeah i just don't see the highjacking thing as plausible. i mean the whole world is practically searching for the plane, doesn't seem to be incognito enough or have a quick enough turn around for an actual attack. i doubt anyone would sit on something like that for more than a few hours (ala 9/11)
Has anyone considered that they may be covering it up and actually know exactly where the plane is? Think about it, if it [i]was[/i] hijacked by terrorists then there are going to be hostages. Releasing the information about where the plane is, etc may put the hostages in danger?
Then the nations searching would be collectively wasting millions in doing so. If that were the case, the situation would've probably been resolved by now too.
i read a suggestion that it could have been "hijacked" by the pilot or co pilot (or both) and he was using it to commit suicide, but the article i read that in said also that that was HIGHLY unlikely. yes, the plane veered off course, but it returned to its scheduled flight path before disappearing. i think that this debris is not likely to be the plane since it is quite a ways outside of the range that the experts are saying the plane could have flown without refueling, but who knows? only time will tell.
[QUOTE=Sableye;44296722]best theory I've heard so far was that there was an electrical fire that cut the systems off in the sequence we see, it also would have taken out plane phones and incapacitated the passengers, the pilots were turning back towards a runway which is on the path that the plane turned onto, and they were also incapacitated and asphixiated and the plane kept flying till the autopilot died . sure as hell beats this crazy hijackd and hidden theory [editline]20th March 2014[/editline] idk it just seems from everything here that there was some very sudden catastrophe that cut off communications, and the pilots were able to turn around but then it got worse and they crashed, hijacking just doesn't seem to fit in this case, we have no evidence from any of the passengers, no communications from the passengers, no codes from anyone really, and just conjecture from fox and CNN who are whipping up 9-11 paranoia for ratings[/QUOTE] Has a ghost plane ever happened before?
[QUOTE=Last or First;44298725]I keep telling everyone, they flew into a time rip and were eaten by langoliers.[/QUOTE] They landed successfully in an alternate dimension where [i]everyone else[/i] went missing instead
[QUOTE=Banhfunbags;44305421]Has a ghost plane ever happened before?[/QUOTE] Yes. [URL]http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/world/history-gives-no-clues-on-motive-in-malaysian-aircraft-mystery/article17583515/[/URL] [quote]In 2005, a Helios Airways Boeing 737 – much smaller than the Boeing 777 but also a modern twin-engined passenger jet designed for high-altitude flight – suffered a slow depressurization as it climbed out of Larnaca, Cyprus, bound for Athens. Although warnings sounded and the oxygen masks dropped as the aircraft climbed through 6,000 metres, the flight crew failed to correctly identify the problem.Within minutes, everyone on board was incapacitated as the aircraft climbed as programmed to 10,000 metres and followed its 90-minute flight course to Athens. Frantic attempts by air traffic control to call the apparently unconscious flight crew failed. The doomed aircraft with 121 on board then spent more than an hour circling in a programmed holding pattern as Greek F-16 warplanes flew close alongside. The fighter pilots could see the Helios co-pilot slumped over the controls; oxygen masks were dangling in the passenger cabin.[/quote]

I'm looking forward to the wreckage being found, paves the way for conspiracy theories on what "really" happened. [editline]20th March 2014[/editline] Gotta love conspiracy theories!
[QUOTE=SPESSMEHREN;44296437]If that were true and it was hijacked, where the hell were they taking the plane?[/QUOTE] They went to close to Australia and were shot down by scorpions.
them damn reverse drop bears got the plane
[QUOTE=Doctor Zedacon;44297308]If you don't want to use it at that moment? Take the plane off the map, hide it away, and prepare it for a different attack. Then the can bog the thing down with whatever you want and truly weaponize it.[/QUOTE] try hiding a 777, no really tell me where you can hide a 777 in the pacific region, there's probably like 2-3 airstrips that thing could have landed on in the flight path. this isn't a cesna, its big [t]http://nomoredeadpixels.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/aircraft_comparisons.jpg[/t] [editline]21st March 2014[/editline] also where are you going to get the fuel and all sorts of other things maintaining this plane requires and prevent the onboard diagnostic systems from transmitting
