Well if that is the case we know the plane is on some point in the arc.

If thats the case then it has to be on one of the islands where the Wayward Points are....

So if a jet has a max, obviously that extra weight severely limits the distance it can travel.


The typical 777 can fit far north of 300 people... This flight only had 230 something. The missing 100 people (give or take) at an average weight of lets say 110lbs is 11000lbs light and def offsets a chunk of gold.

I would find a fail safe way to keep track of a plane that does something like this is my point. Until this incident I didn't know it was so easy to accomplish this on a commercial airliner.

And yes, according to the experts, the 777 could land on a dirt airport of dried lake bed


then it had to take the northern track.

Last night I found the only suitable fields in the southern track were Australian owned islands.

Why? The arc is the range the plane could have been at 8:11am...anywhere from near Russia to off the coast of Australia.

Not exactly. If the plane hugged the Himalayas as I mentioned yesterday. The mountains block radar returns and if you fly low enough and are crazy enough to try you could probably weave between mountains.

I keep seeing experts say India would've detected the plane in their air space, I still think if it went north, it did so over the middle of Burma.

Agree 100%


I am actually quite shocked and a little nervous of my future flights

Although, I seriously doubt I will be flying over what I consider "3rd World" cultures (In regards to competency).

I'm thinking a new type of transponder. A very simple one. One that has it's own power source and is self contained other than a data link.
All it does is give out gps coordinates and altitude when interrogated by a remote satellite relay. It sounds like a lot, but thinking about it, it's a simple undertaking. Could probably get everything at radio shack to build one.
Just a simple device that takes rudimentary data from the fight computer and an inner gyro and gps antennae and cannot be cut off. You "call" it like you would a sat phone, it sends back a signal like a dial up modem and gives it's coordinates and altitude.

Only need to be used when other traditional systems have failed.

They have said since the very beginning that the satellite signals, engine pings, and data related to that 45,000ft altitude were pretty unreliable.

Not sure why people can't understand this shite and keep running with every piece of information like it is a hardcore fact and coming up with their theories.

I agree if it were a single data point that was giving the information... But the fact that they have multiple sources of data all pointing to the flight continuing on is a different story.

Yes, maybe the flight didn't go to 45k feet, but nonetheless, something was still providing that data in addition to the others.

If you ask a 100 people a question you get a hundred answers. The discussion and the info back and forth makes for an entertaining read. which in itself is the entire reason we are on the off topic board on a sports website, no?
