re: Official Thread: Missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370

I wonder what other misinformation there is. Hell, maybe the Malaysian military is wrong, and the plane didn't track back across the peninsula to the strait.

I am thinking this, strongly.

I understand that the most logical thing to say is the plane crashed. Everybody thinks that.

With no evidence to back up that claim at this point is just an dumb argument. Anything could have happened and nobody knows until they find it.

How can "the most logical" assumption as to hat happened be "just a dumb argument"?

Thank you! With TWA 800 the whole tank blew up and an entire half of the plane kept flying for a while.

If conscious, those final few seconds must have been terrorizing for those folks. Freezing cold air at hundreds of mph flowing through an open airplane....

There is only evidence that the plane did not go where it was supposed to

Pretty much.....I say the plane never took off. It's still on the taxiway waiting on instructions from US air traffic controllers & we know how they like to take naps.

I'll keep track the of which poster picks where in my OP. That way you can have bragging rights.

A 777 could easily fly on one engine.

And I'm not doubting that - I'm just wargaming. If anything "within" the ordinary happened - bird strike, lightning strike, single engine failure - the redundant systems allow the crew to respond and report.

So, short of one of them powering the entire plane down - what happened had to be "extraordinary" - don't you agree? Bird strikes the cockpit, disabling both crewmembers? Possible, but crazy unlikely at cruising altitude.

Meteorite? Big sky, little bullet suggests no - but the force of that could explain it. Nobody reported seeing a giant flaming airplane fall out of the sky - which brings a lot of these into question. Even the hijacking (which I say is most likely - assuming the Malaysian military tracking is correct) would seem strange, as they are normally on the box, quickly, telling the people on the ground their demands, their flight plan, their intent to kill passengers - etc.

So, a hijacking gone awry - again - Occam's Razor - but that doesn't explain why we have no reports, no sightings of the plane in distress and, as of yet, no debris. The oil slicks were promising, but now they've walked back from those as unrelated.

It is somewhat difficult to hide a 777 and 222 people - if the plane were still intact and everyone still alive.
