Malaysian airlines plane missing

[Sheffvlad]

Has anyone bothered to check the land in neighbouring countries as it is clearly apparent the plane is not in the sea !!!

 

 

Brilliant idea. And have a look in between the cushions on the setee, that's where the remote usually is when that goes missing.

Well no one has said if they think its a plane on my link so sod it, hope they find it though.

Some propellor powered planes have do a high range, and the speed and altitude of the radar blip may not be highly accurate as the whoever was piloting the airliner may have decided, for whatever reason, to fly it slowly and low.

 

All I am saying is that these things in themselves might not be an accurate indicator of what the plan is on the radar if the transponder isn't working.

 

One thing is for sure, there is a lot of information being published without much conformation of the validity of the information, and this is confusing the situation.

 

You're right that it can't be an accurate indicator but any unexpected radar reading of large, fast aircraft would not be ignored. I think it would be impossible that on a route to Australia or PNG nothing would have been detected. So I don't think it went that way if it kept flying.

 

The point about operational radar capabilities is a good one though. In a insecure area like SE Asia how likely are countries to admit that parts of their territory have no operational military radar cover?

Or how unlikely that the Americans would admit that they had the plane visible at all times from their spy satellites.

soon be time for conspiracy theorists ? maybe pilot or hijackers switched off all the transponders and landed the plane in a secret jungle runway where the trees slid/moved to one side revealing a runway like on Thunderbirds? if the might of all the US navy and the Chinese cant find the missing plane in the sea then somewhere on land is the next step?

surely soon something will be announced if only for the sake of the poor relatives.

Why would they go through the considerable effort and expense of reconfiguring one of their spy satellites to track a commercial airliner when there would be far easier was of tracking the plane if they wanted to?

Who said they were tracking anything?

 

There are hundreds of spy satellites all around the globe, so if you are sunbathing topless in your back garden there is a good chance someone in the Pentagon is watching you.

The satellites would have been put in orbit to watch a specific part of the world. They don't just float around up in the sky looking down, they follow set trajectories whilst they orbit. This orbit can be changed, but to do so uses up a finite supply of fuel in the satellite, so there would have to be a good reason to change the orbit.

 

So unless your suggesting that the USA has the all of the world covered in a network of spy satellites. It would be unlikely that the Americans would have caught it on one of their spy satellites. If you are suggesting this then in the conspiracy theory world you've fallen behind the times, as it's the spy drone that you'll be scared of now.

The Americans are going with the Wall St Journal story..............Pentagon believes it went down in the Indian Ocean.

 

 

 

U.S. officials have an “indication” the missing Malaysia Airlines jetliner may have crashed in the Indian Ocean and is moving the USS Kidd to the area to begin searching.

How are they clutching at straws when it's not their responsibility to find the aircraft?

 

Do you ever think about what you write, or have you just wired a keyboard to your brain and are just letting words fall out? I think you need to spend less time on the internet - when you first started posting you seemed quite normal, but since then you've started sounding crazier by the day.

 

On the other hand, if you're just trolling and trying to get a laugh, would you mind doing it on a subject which doesn't involve the deaths of over 200 people?

 

200 + people who have not been found, either dead or alive.

 

So no proof of dead people when nothing has been proved
