While your deductions may seem spot-on, nothing about this missing plane is 'obvious'. I'm waiting on the Malaysians to say "oops, the plane actually took off on 3/5 and landed the same day in China. It's been in a maintenance hanger ever since."

It took two years to find the "black boxes" not the wreckage/debris.

If the oil rig worker told twelve people, more people would be saying they seen it crash than the number of people who reports that they witnessed the earthquake game in person.

What are the theories why they can't locate the black box?


You have to get within a certain range to dedect the black box signal.

It took days for searchers to spot wreckage from the aircraft floating 600 miles from land, and it took more than two years for investigators to learn what happened and why.

Whatever they could buy wouldn't have near the range of a 777ER. Those things can go 8,800 miles. It's like having a slow ballistic missile.


That plane, with a nuke onboard, might make a good platform for a EMP attack...

So what are the odds someone jacked the airliner, shut down the transponders, and landed this on an undisclosed airstrip in Pakistan for later terror use?
You'd think that would be an impossibility in today's world. But I'd put the odds around 10% at this point. Crazy to think. . .

Yeah I still think that the heavy favorite is it just had mech issues and crashed somewhere they're not looking, perhaps in a desolate jungle somewhere.

Well there are lots of landing strips on islands out there some of them as big to house and service fleets of b29's for ww2, as well as the Japanese they also had air fields all over the Pacific Islands.

I think with satellite photos and such, if it crashed over land, debris would have already been found.

imo, if it crashed, its in the ocean

While highly possible, everything would have to fail...mechanical, electrical, communications, etc and that seems hard to believe.

The pentagon now believes the plane crashed somewhere in the Indian Ocean

quote:

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

It will take another 24 hours to move the ship into position, a senior Pentagon official told ABC News.

"We have an indication the plane went down in the Indian Ocean," the senior official said.

The official said there were indications that the plane flew four or five hours after disappearing from radar and that they believe it went into the water.

I thought satellites could pickup the signal on the ELT?

my theory is loss of cabin pressure however does not account for the transponders

Well yeah, that's the assumption. But it's all hard to believe at this point, so that's equal across all theories.
