Where the Heck is It ???

If . . . and everything about the disappearance is a big IF . . . the plane was flown elsewhere, it cannot just land anywhere. This is a huge aircraft that needs and long runway and serious assistance coming down.

Supposedly, though, within its flight radius there are at least a couple of runways capable of handling it. CNN has a simulator that they've been using (almost to the point of boredom, I could add) and they showed how, with a skilled enough pilot and a little luck they could land the bird even on one of the smaller strips off the coast of Malaysia. Certainly if it could make it to India or Kazakhstan or Diego Garcia those places would be able to accommodate it ...

And no one would be aware?

Depends.

If it's Diego then their security is A-1. India and Kazakhstan, and some others, not so much. But who is going to be watching those airports and actually take note of the registration number on the tail-fin?

Who really thinks it could land in THEIR neighborhood? Who would expect it?

Going from the barely-possible to the conspiracy side, what if they had temporary numbers affixed to the plane, so that by the time it landed it would be sporting a totally different registration? The ol' James Bond license-plate-change trick ...

Sounding plausible or it just crashed. I'm going with either of those two possibilities.

Agreed. It seems like every time they find a new piece of garbage floating in the water they plot a new course - and a new explanation - for this plane. Still, one of these times they might be right ...
 
Other theories I can think of.

Did it ever took off in the first place.
Wouldn't it be a kick in the pants if they find out it just circled and landed?
Maybe they ran out of their allotted amount of fuel and are sitting at the fuel rack.
 
This morning on CNN I heard that they were expanding the search area - now it's something like 2.5 million square miles, almost the size of the United States.

... and Malaysia is asking for deep-sea exploring equipment. What - they're going to go through that two-and-a-half million square miles, 50 sq. ft. at a time and 2 miles down?

What I'm wondering is, with all this intense media coverage, what are we missing here at home that's REAL news? CNN's talking heads are repeating the exact same thing every 15 minutes, while there are probably dirty cops taking bribes and shooting people and dogs, banks are foreclosing on yet more homes and politicians are taking astronomical kick-backs.

... and did anyone even hear about Fred Phelps, the founder of the Westboro Baptist "God Hates Fags" Church, dying in a hospice?

Now THERE is a story!

Now, the news about the different course being entered into the auto pilot a few minutes before signing off for the night . . .

Just caught that on CNN.

They're also trying to recover the deleted game files on the pilot's home simulator - I hope their tech is better than his - he seemed to have a nice set-up there, one that requires a lot of tech ability.
 
They just posted a new report that something that might be part of the plane has been sighted in the water near New Zealand, so that would put it even further away than where they have been looking for it before.
I am going to start believing the "aliens took it" reports if they don't find something that at least points them in the right direction soon.

Its been determinded what they saw in the ocean was NOTHING,same about the satellite photoes.
Looks like everybody who is anybody are getting into the acts,now its the Prime Minister of Australia ,Tony Abbot.

Mr. Abbot seems to have very good credentials,any chance he could replace our precent POTUS?:)

Man, they're driving these families crazy with these "sightings" ... shouldn't they just hold off on reporting them until something concrete happens?

... or would that be journalistic malpractice? :rolleyes:

It's a balancing act. The families demand information and I can't blame them. So, any tidbit is something to give them hope.

Or to drive them crazy - this is the kind of atmosphere that conspiracy theories are born of, and sure enough they're starting to talk about the government covering something up.

That CAN'T be good for their emotional state ... even if it IS true.

Emotional state indeed. I think they are just scrabbling for any crumb of information and will latch on to everything no matter how outlandish. I agree it's certainly a problem withholding information and not withholding when they are demanding answers and there are none.
