tonyh29 Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 thought I'd start a topic on this becomes more and more bizarre by the day The talk now is that the plane may have been in the air for 4 hours after the last contact I fthe latest theory is true , it appears they said "Goodbye " to Malaysian ATC but never got in contact with Vietnam turned off the transponder then did a turn and headed North West ...where it was being flown between navigational waypoints (suggesting a trained pilot was in control ) I initially wondered if the plane had suffered a similar fate to Payne Steawarts Learjet resulting in Hypoxia but it doesn't explain the transponder being turned off and the apparently controlled route being flown , it doens't really suggest mechanical failure nor a pilot suicide unless he took 4 hours to write his suicide note !! Interestingly the new route would be on a path to Iran ( only interesting because of the 2 Iranians on stolen passports ) they could just as easily been heading somewhere else . Surprising that a plane can go missing in the sky and nobody appears to have been looking for it , scrambled jets etc Really is a strange one this 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dont_do_it_doug. Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Could it have landed elsewhere, Iran for example? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meath_Villan Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 The pilot had a home simulator..... Break his door down run the last sim ...badda bing badda boom that's where the plane is ..................... ....at the bottom of the ocean 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 (edited) I was under the impression planes only carry enough fuel for the journey that is planned and a bit extra in case they have to divert at the last minute. Iran is a good 1000 miles further from KL than Beijing, plus the plane was already headed north towards the general direction of China... so I think there is no way it could have made it to the middle east.

AshVilla Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 It reeks of a cover up imo I heard one theory that hardly gets any air time but sounds incredibly pausable The plane could have been shot down by mistake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily. It depends upon accessibility and price of fuel. If fuel is cheaper at the starting point, it is not uncommon for an aircraft to cover a round trip on one tank, so to speak. Of course it has to be cheaper taking into account the burn for the extra weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted March 14, 2014 Author Share Posted March 14, 2014 It reeks of a cover up imo I heard one theory that hardly gets any air time but sounds incredibly pausable The plane could have been shot down by mistake I did mention it in general chat or wherever it was being discussed ... however it would contradict the "pings" they have received from the craft (if these accounts are true) , the U-turn ( on a known flight path ,again if true ) and of course the missing plane ... had it been shot down on it's flight path the wreckage would be where they first looked but then everything about this seems bizarre so at present I'm not ruling out Godzilla leaping out the sea and eating the plane ...

If all I take from this is that really cool piece of trivia then I'm happy. it was one of the factors that brought the Air France Concorde down wasn't it ... didn't they have something like 1.2 tonnes of extra fuel , which meant they were heavier , which meant they took off further down the runway , which meant they hit the debris they would otherwise have cleared small margins and all that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
