GarethRDR Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 It was Mysterons. First Earhart, then Miller, then Captain Black and now this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I believe this explination http://www.wired.com/autopia/2014/03/mh370-electrical-fire/ The only part is the timing of the loss of ACARS and Transponder is coincidentaly just when they were handed over from ATC. The Air France flight that went down in the Atlantic, they never communicated a problem yet had ages to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 He views havebeen disputed by the automatic flight course adjustment But Goodfellow's theory has been disputed. If the course was changed during a major emergency, one might expect it to be done using manual control. But the left turn was the result of someone in the cockpit typing "seven or eight keystrokes into a computer on a knee-high pedestal between the captain and the first officer, according to officials", the New York Times reported. The paper says this "has reinforced the belief of investigators - first voiced by Malaysian officials - that the plane was deliberately diverted and that foul play was involved." http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-26609687 But the Pilot could be in trouble in cockpit with smoke or other problems and autopilot making the course change may have been a sound idea. If they then succumbed to the fire and the computer did too it would fly up and down up and down as discussed earlier until it ran out of fuel.

peterms Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Suspension of flights to and from Diego Garcia for 72 hours, here. US and Chinese disease experts flown to Diego Garcia, here. Not sure how reliable either source is, but then you can as well say that about the mainstream media too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 (edited) Perhaps the T-Virus was on board and the umbrella corporation decided to field test it in a confined isolated place. Where better than 30.000 feet in the air The results were then flown to Diego Garcia a covert underground umbrella lab disguised as a US military base. Wesker was probably the one who hijacked the plane Edited March 19, 2014 by AshVilla 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowychap Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 perhaps that is why the BBC merely dismiss it , it's the work of a fruitcake and not worthy of airtime And yet they are televising Clegg v Farage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how reliable either source is, but then you can as well say that about the mainstream media too. if nothing else taking a cargo from Seychelles to Duabi to KL is a shocking waste of resources when you can fly it directly in just over 4 hours .. I hope whoever is in charge of logistics loses his job over this (or eaten by a shark after a trap door in the lift is sprung if it's some evil organisation at the heart of it rather than a government) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 The simple answer is usually the correct answer. Electrical fire, loss of comms and pilot divert plane to nearest airport before they are themselves taken out. Plane flies until out of fuel and crashes in open ocean. Nothing else makes any sense so this is most likely what happened. Thread closed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With probably double daily capacity to both, Emirates would win on all counts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I like planes but a planes a plane, a big plane is pretty much the same as another big plane. If you stood 100 people in a row and asked them to distinguish between the 2 how many would get it right.? I think most people who have perhaps taken a long haul flight would know the difference. That, or played Top Trumps Planes as a kid! A 747 is pretty distinctive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electric Avenue Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 (edited) 747 is probably the most iconic design of the current fleet of aircraft. The DC10 was too but that's largely phased out now. The A380 is the new rival to the 747 and threatens the future need for it. Edited March 19, 2014 by Electric Avenue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing else makes any sense so this is most likely what happened. I think this or perhaps being shot out of the air by a country, who are too afraid to admit it for fear of reprisals by China. Or China did it themselves. Talk of being hijacked and held in a US hangar in Diego Garcia is about as plausible as a 'Lost' type scenario 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 747 is probably the most iconic design of the current fleet of aircraft. The DC10 was too but that's largely phased out now. The Dreamliner is the new rival to the 747 and threatens the future need for it. A380 surely? Dreamliner sits in the category below doesn't it, but innovative for the fuel savings due to the lighter body. Boeing still churn out the 747's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Sorry I meant the A380 yes Flew on one last year, so quiet. Plus upgraded FOC to Business class, which never usually happens to me! Going back to MH370, i'm fascinated by it, in a morbid way. I'm just stunned that we still have no clear idea of what happened to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thread closed I agree, although Sol Campbell has a very credible alternative theory that it was part of a white supremacist movement led by the FA in which they intend to remove all non white inhabitants of the planet. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
