A Plane disappears

An Emergency Location Transmitter would be activated and received by satellites. A landing to avert an automatic ELT transmission would be so violent as to leave parts strewn on the ocean surface.

Too many details are being withheld (some) or are so misunderstood by reporters (more) as to make any speculation equivalent to a parable. For now, better is to read your Bible for guidance.

At least we can spell Appalachian, you fucking genius.

It must be true. It was on the internet:
Appaliachian Christians
Appaliachian Ortho Center, Carlisle, PA
Potomac Appaliachian Trail Club
and home to my Alma Matter
Appaliachian Christian School, Boone NC

Absolutely, designed to prevent accidental inputs, but intensional is a whole new ball game. We're already seeing what can go wrong in cars. Wait until they evolve to fly-by-wireless.

Chevy Cobalt (third generation Vega with the same deserved repuation) was designed by business school graduates. All properly designed cars both steer and brake even with the engine turned off. Only products designed by business school graduates (also called communists) are so dumb as to need a pump to steer and will lose brakes when the engine shuts off.

None of that exists in this story. The most unreliable thing in any system is a human.

Get the fuck out of here, the Cobalt acts like every other car with power steering and power brakes. Engine off, the steering and brakes require a lot more input, but still work. It's clueless fucking drivers that don't know what to do when it happens, and liars like you promoting false information.

Statement of the obvious coming up.

The aircraft has either:

(i). Crashed at sea

(ii). Crashed on land, or

(iii). Landed safely.


If a reasonably gentle ditching was accomplished, not the easiest of tasks, followed by sinking, then little evidence might be left on the surface.

If the aircraft crashed on land was any evidence recorded by a seismic observatory anywhere?

Which brings us to (iii). I would not be in the least bit surprised to find that the aeroplane had landed safely somewhere suitably remote for one reason or another. I am far from a conspiracy theorist (I lack the imagination!) but I wouldn't discount the possibility that its location is now known and the powers that be are assessing the situation and wondering what to do next. A public admission to that effect is unlikely.

What was at the back of my mind was the 1973 hijacking of a Swissair DC8, a PanAm B707 and a BOAC VC10 to Dawson's Field in Jordan.
It was a disused former RAF airfield dating from WW2. I just wonder if a similar move might have been made in the case of MH370.
I suspect that there are many locations that could be pressed into use above and beyond the 'formal' airports shown in your graphic.
If the aircraft is still in one piece I just pray that all on board remain safe.

From V's link...

"The other assumption of course is that the co-pilot or the pilot might well have been intent on committing suicide and taking the plane and all of its passengers with him," *he says.

*Chris Yates

Why bother, just fly straight down, nobody can stop you. No, if the pilot and/or copilot planned and executed this it was not suicide, they planned on landing somewhere.

Deja Vu. They were "Lost" on a similar island. Some years later, we discovered they all died in the crash.

It works in SciFi. So it must be true. First identify all possibilities.

Looks like we're just going to have to wait until someone rings a bell and shouts "De plane! De plane!"

Apparently, when he died, the message went with him. Leaving us only with this Fanatasy world.

I go with ii, personally.
Horrible outcome for the initial survivors, little hope thereafter.
