Isn't it just.

The same repetitive childish remarks and insinuations again and again.

Seems like nobody's biting this time though.

Time for a change of tactics maybe ?

Saw it a long time ago actually,

.....shame you seem forever stuck in the same long dark endless tunnel though.

Be nice if you could just spare an occasional thought for the rest of us once in a while though.

It does get somewhat monotonous and tiresome at times. :zzz:

It took 4 years and 2 complete searches to locate the wreckage.

Aircrash Investigation is one of my favourite series and I think they found that plane with in 3 days If I recall, just not the boxes, I remember they had to get a yellow sub to look for them, but the sea was much deeper than where this plane was expected to be.

I am just trying to say that in this day and age the technology should be there for something like this not too happen and maybe have learned from Air France's flght. I think ships have the technology these days if they down so planes should do, but there is more simple technology that that, for me its beyond belief that it is not used.

There needs to be a new set of rules as to who leads investigations, as I said already on day one that I had no confidence in Malaysia to tell one bit of truthful information.

I would not put it past them to say the plane was shot down or hijacked and they are in the process of moving parts (from the jungle) to somewhere else (the sea), They will find a bit of wreckage and that will be it, I hope not though. I am positive someone must know where this plane is and what has happened to it.

States loud explosion Sat Am at Manang, well if that is where it is they have had a long time to collect debris and move it.

On the 4th March, there was a threat issued to Bejing Airport of a serious terrorist attack - A man telephoned CAL's Taipei headquarters March 4, saying that possible attacks on Beijing's airport were imminent.

It was taken very seriously, maybe the plane was forced to move into a different area, hence the turning round.

It is certainly plausible that it was shot down, either a massive cover up or serious incompetence.

I just hope for the safety of others its found soon, 447 was 5 days sorry, so should be about the same now, maybe they knew they could hang it out longer. Will the truth prevail though, or will we be fed more Bull ?

Interesting theory from The Huffington Post


It is conceivable that the Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 plane is “cloaked,” hiding with hi-tech electronic warfare weaponry that exists and is used. In fact, this type of technology is precisely the expertise of [Texas-based company] Freescale, that has 20 employees on board the missing flight

Could it not be just as simple a reason as errors by the crew just as was the AirFrance Airbus that also mysteriously crashed into the atlantic some years ago.
Tragically mistakes happen.

Secretly, that was also mercenaries from the planet Xetox, paid billions by the CIA to embarrass France.

Interesting review of the AF 447 disaster.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France_Flight_447

Despite a certain amount of surface wreckage plus automatic radio communications just prior to the crash, it took two years to locate the main part of the wreckage on the seabed.

I would have thought if this aircraft was blown up or took serious structural damage in mid air, wreckage would have been widespread and easy to locate, so possibly it was in one piece on contact with the water.

I would also think it highly unlikely for it to have made it to land without at least one of the radar systems picking it up.

A number of serious air disasters in recent years, especially at night-time, have been to a large extent caused by pilot disorientation, hard though it is to believe considering the massive instrument displays systems, but true nevertheless.

Others due partly to instrument malfunctions with which the crew should have been able to cope, but couldn't.

I find that the most common gripe amongst longhaul aircrew on the pilots forum is the lack of "seat of the pants" training and ability rendering many of them incapable of responding adequately in an emergency, especially one that isn't properly covered in the flight manuals for the particular type they are flying.
