Uno Mas SASS #80082 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 The oil slicks in the ocean? Makes sense, as the EPIRB beacon would have led rescuers immediately to a crash site on land. Damn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailrider #896 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 A lot of useless speculation without facts! The probability is that the aircraft did, indeed, crash in the ocean. Cause? Unknown at this time. Likelihood of survival, probably low. "Oh hear us when we lift our prayer, For those in peril in the air." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Four-Eyed Buck,SASS #14795 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Two listed on the passenger manifest turned out to be using stolen passports. The real people were back in their home countries. Smells of Terrorism Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailrider #896 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Some possibility of similarity to that Air France crash off South America several years ago. IIRC that was an Air Bus. In that case the pilots apparently got erroneous indications on airspeed and attitude. The captain was not on the flight deck at the time things started to go wrong. The crew wasn't properly trained, and made the wrong control inputs resulting in a highspeed stall and the aircraft dived into the sea! It took two years to find and determine a probable cause. No terrorism; just a poorly trained crew and bad inputs from instrumentation. The fact that there were two people on board with stolen passports is troubling. But right now, that may or may not be significant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Associiated Press sez: "...The 53-year-old pilot of Flight MH370, Zaharie Ahmad Shah, has more than 18,000 flying hours and has been flying for the airline since 1981. The first officer, 27-year-old Fariq Hamid, has about 2,800 hours of experience and has flown for the airline since 2007, Malaysia Airlines said." Edit: Though I wonder how much time the crew had in the 777. 18,000 and 2,800 hours might not mean much if it's in other types. Gonna be awhile before it's sorted out.

Uno Mas SASS #80082 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 The oil slick is now said to not be associated with the airliner. And the floating door is now reported as trash. This is getting very weird. If the 777 crashed on land, the EPIRBs would have activated; leading searchers to the scene. If on water, there would be lots of floating debris. The plane should have been found. Unless... the transponder was turned off (as in the 9/11 attacks) and the plane flown to a lower altitude... it could have gone thousands of miles in any direction. Weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird. You would think, if it were a hijacking or such, the passengers would have started texting/calling family/friends alerting them to the situation. There was no communication that we know of. This is indeed quite strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badlands Bob #61228 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Hmmmmm. Big modern plane with experienced crew disappears right outside of radar range without a peep from anybody. Two Iranian passengers on board with stolen passports and one way tickets purchased with cash. I'm thinking those sneaky arabs might have something to do with this. Or it could be aliens......
