The first post in this thread gives a good summary of what is and isn't known. It also sheds a little light on the satellite communications that continued after contact was lost with the aircraft.

This must be new info


The plane was recorded on military radar going 45,000 ft. This was done on purpose.

i think the wonky altitude parameters may show signs of a struggle in the cockpit.

My thought is that this pilot took his sim to real life. Pushed the limit in his sim and wanted to see if be could do it in real life. Became delusional

So he did it for kicks. To see if he could pull it off?

I don't think so.

Is that going to keep all of your brain cells and internal organs from trying to occupy the same space at the same time?

The plane was hit by a shrinking ray and shrunk down to the size of a toy and disappeared from radar and scooped up by a US air force plane.

I'm not so sure you'd have much floating yet. If you were in a nosedive at 450+ the aircraft would probably dive pretty deep while breaking apart. Ocean currents would spread the wreckage wide while it was surfacing.

Roger posted this earlier, but I find it pretty unbelievable. This flight was flown almost directly into the ground, and it may be relevant with the Rolls Royce data about the altitude drop.

quote:

The plane was estimated to have crashed slightly faster than the speed of sound, at around 770 mph (1,240 km/h), disintegrating instantly. It is estimated that the aircraft hit the ground at five thousand times the force of gravity, and was traveling at an approximately 70-degree angle toward the south. The plane struck a rocky hillside, leaving a crater less than 2 feet deep and 4 feet across, presumably where the landing gear struck the ground. The high-speed impact compressed the soil, which almost immediately rebounded, throwing fragments and paper (including the note by Burke) back into the air, before flames consumed them. No one survived the crash; the force of impact meant that human remains were very small, the largest being feet in shoes. The remains of 27 passengers were never identified.

Nope, I guess we need inertial dampeners like in Star Trek for that..

Here's a theory. The pilots turned the transponder and communications data off before ascending to 45,000 feet. There, they put on their oxygen masks and started a cabin de-pressurization, knocking out the cabin crew as well as the passengers, before making their turn westward.

All of this happened while Malaysia ATC was handing the plane off to Ho Chi Minh ATC.


Exactly, there is a growing consensus that this was a hijack or pilot(s) deliberately turning this plane into a ghost. I'm personally feeling like this was one pilot taking control of the plane. Although, this copilot has a history of opening the cockpit.

The decent of 40,000 ft in 1 minute is being disregarded because the pings still place the plant in the air long after this.

New article from the WSJ: "Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 Probe Sharpens Focus on Sabotage"

LINK

There is a thinking that more than one hijacker was involved

quote:

A physical disconnection of the satellite communications system would require extremely detailed knowledge of the aircraft, its internal structure and its systems.


quote:

Also emerging as a possible focus is whether more than one person on board the plane may have been involved in its disappearance.

The satellite pings stopped roughly five hours after the other systems stopped working, cutting off all identifying signals from the plane. Aviation investigators are trying to determine, among other things, whether someone would have had to climb into an electronics bay located on the plane's lower deck to disable that equipment.
