My crazy hijack theory is simple:

1. BOEING released a security warning that wi-fi capabilities could be used to compromise the plane's computer systems on a 777.
2. Malaysian air released info that the plane did not allow wi-fi in the traditional sense. HOWEVER (I looked this up myself), the 777's for Malaysian air DID allow online purchasing for their inflight "Mall" (called Temptations).
3. This outgoing signal would be all that was needed to intercept computer systems per BOEING's released statement back in November of 2013.

There were dozen's of people on board, according to released flight manifests, that would have the background appropriate to try an attempt this crazy.

A hijacked computer system explains alot of what we've heard.

in 2014, to lose a plane that big with 238 souls onboard to me is absurd.

Check my post out on page 150, the top 10 airline disasters. many of those planes were never found, and they just gave up on searching.


And all but one of those was 40-50+ years ago. One was in 1999 and it was found. Do you realize the difference in technology from the time of those multiple events to now?

I still have to think we positioned our satellites to cover every inch of the radius that was possible for that plane to travel. I just don't know how long it would take to review the pics.

Or maybe he was teaching himself to fly the 777 in very unusual circumstances - like NAP of the earth to avoid radar.


Flying "nap" of the earth for several hours would have been a piece cake in that plane. Use the Flight Management Computer, dial in 1000ft, altitude or whatever, heading, airspeed, and just sit back with yours arms crossed.

His destination: some small airport that closes at night (plenty of these over there - two with adequate runway length in his flight path over the peninsula alone actually) where a shell company had leased a hangar.



I follow you. now what about the people and their cell phones?


Also, how do they fly this big bird there and land int he cloak of darkness without any navigational equipment.

At this rate, we'll discover some death cult that has been operating for a thousand years. They first started hijacking sailing vessels, then steam engines, and in the modern era, airplanes.

Many of these craft that have gone missing can be attributed to them.

I was just thinking this. Most cell phones have GPS tracking. Why not check all passenger cell phone tracks?

I track my location/routes on Google Latitudes all the time.

I'd think an ADS-B attack of some sort would be more likely than network penetration and/or systems compromise. ADS-B for commercial air traffic is completely unencrypted (even though the FAA claims otherwise; all research seems to indicate the opposite) and can be monitored with a simple $20 RTL-SDR dongle. It takes more sophisticated equipment to transmit ADS-B to confuse the aircraft, but it can definitely be done.

Watch it turn out to be some massive publicity stunt for a book or movie.
