Missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370

Unread post by AARR »

I'm curious if anyone has any theories what happened to missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370.

So far no debris, no sightings, and when they cell phones of passengers are called they ring like they are still on (as opposed to going directly into voicemail like when they are turned off).
PatC created a monster, 'cause nobody wants to see Don Simon no more they want AARR I'm chopped liver, well if you want AARR this is what I'll give ya, bad humor mixed with irrelevant info that'll make you roll your eyes quicker than a ~Z~ banhammer...

The passenger list might yield some clues. Might be someone on the plane the CIA didn't like.
If the cell phones were last on, and never actually turned off, you might continue to get a ring tone.
Foul play was almost certainly involved. With almost any kind of inflight problem, the crew would have been able to get an emergency message out.

WAG: The two Iranian passengers with stolen passports could have something to do with it.

I have, on good authority from the aviation forums, that the Klingons were responsible. :D Speculation is rampant. Concrete information is elusive. :mrgreen:

Sorry, when cleaning out some of the BS in your post, I took out a quote bracket. However, that is pretty sad that you resort to calling out a minor housekeeping item. Maybe you should just keep your post count low, in case the CIA is watching you.....

At the time (years back) that the US Gov. learned that Boeing and Rolls Royce had the ability to
monitor all aspects of the operation and location of all jets manufactured this century without any
actions from airlines or their knowledge, it is not believable that they did not force all manufacturers
to cut them a channel. It almost certainly started right after 911 and was greatly expanded under
Barack Orwell er... Obama.

They are watching, listening, tracking...

But if you want to be serious, here's a good, thoughtful explanation of what may have happened:

Mike,

The only theory that makes sense at this time is that the intelligence community may have a good deal of information but aren't revealing anything. I've been following this on several aviation forums and most theories make about as much sense as the airplane being cut up for scrap in a Detroit chop shop. :mrgreen: PPRuNe (Professional Pilots rumor Network) has over six thousand posts of pure unadulterated speculation.
