Is it possible to fly at a low altitude and avoid all radar detection?
quote:
It's possible that the aircraft had hugged the terrain in some areas, that are mountainous to avoid radar detection." This technique is called terrain masking and is used by military pilots to fly to their targets stealthily, using the topography to mask their approach from prying microwaves. The officials said this type of flying is considered very dangerous, especially in low-light conditions and spatial disorientation, and airsickness could easily set in.
Did missing Malaysian flight fly low to avoid radar?

Oh no
. I didn't read that one. I skipped it soon as I read"stop fricking with the moon". What I was referring to are these:
A few others with what I thought were good possible explanations or ideas of what exactly happened but those 2 some of the top I read.

First off, NO commercial jet should allow the crew to dismantle the transponder or any monitoring device. Only military crafts should have that capability. Secondly, I cannot imagine that this plane has been crashed. They did not go to all this trouble, this meticulous detail to crash a plane. They did this to get this plane. My heart hopes these ppl are alive, fears they are not and in another sense fears they are because just as we were not expecting 911, I think we may be getting ready to get something we are going to have not seen coming. My fear is this jet will be used for a dirty bomb of some sort, and God forbid, some or most if not all of these precious, innocent passengers along with whatever area is targeted will fall victim to the bomb. If the jet us shot down, which we would do in a minute if they believe it is headed for a target like a huge metropolitan city or area, or head of state, if those ppl are still on it, the insanity of this will be so big. And just like 911, this will have been leaked on intelligence, it will have been a known scenario. They have already said that they believed that trial runs had been completed since the same man had purchased tickets with cash from the travel agent, over time, and I think stolen passports were used successfully on those runs. Same crap with 911. I, personally, am holding my breathe. This is going to end badly, i am so afraid, and I think they know it. God help us all. And the someone said did we know what the bible says? The bible says a lot of things. We all need to pray here.

This supposed hijacker does not need to know how to fly - just the basics and having knowledge of transponders, etc. He/they just need to hold the life/lives of pilots and passengers in their hands with threats or kill one or two of the flight crew or passengers. Hijackers and terrorists are evil and desperate people and they will do anything to achieve their goal.
Today with HD printers, they could have hidden plastic guns/weapons or anything sharp and not be detected while checking in. Especially if the TSA agents in Malaysia are slacking - look at how they allowed the hours to pass when their Military base radar picked up an unindentifed plane (the missing one) and did nothing even when it was reported to the authorities by the base.
It must have landed somewhere undetected because the one flying the plane is the very experienced pilot under threat.

This aviation enthusiast thinks Flight 370 flew in the shadow of another plane leaving Singapore and could have avoided Indian and Ahganistan radar that way....Interesting theory and he shows maps of how this could be a possible scenario. Anyway, interesting read.

He can also ram the plane into the ground and kill you pretty easy too, would you rather fall asleep or live through the sudden drop and quick stop?
True, but there should be other controls that at least detect when a pilot tampers with decompression / transponders and send a notice to someone on the ground. I guess without a global GPS that can't be turned off, this doesn't do any good...

we were talking about it earlier, but your article is different so it's good to have.
They were very close at the time of the last Malaysian military radar hit.
Very Plausible.
That plane's path went exactly where many think this plane wanted to go.

Wouldn’t the SIA68 flight have detected MH370? NO! The Boeing 777 utilizes a TCAS system for traffic avoidance; the system would ordinarily provide alerts and visualization to pilots if another airplane was too close. However that system only operates by receiving the transponder information from other planes and displaying it for the pilot. If MH370 was flying without the transponder, it would have been invisible to SIA68.
In addition, the TCAS system onboard MH370 would have enabled the pilot(s) to easily locate and approach SIA68 over the Straits of Malacca as they appeared to have done. The system would have shown them the flight’s direction of travel and the altitude it was traveling which would have enabled them to perfectly time an intercept right behind the other Boeing 777. Here is a picture of a TCAS system onboard a 777.
quote:
After looking at all the details, it is my opinion that MH370 snuck out of the Bay of Bengal using SIA68 as the perfect cover. It entered radar coverage already in the radar shadow of the other 777, stayed there throughout coverage, and then exited SIA68’s shadow and then most likely landed in one of several land locations north of India and Afghanistan.

I have been saying this for days, people were like "you just cant hitch a ride or follow another jet like that " oh yeah right, all they needed was an affordable 737 and what I said was impossible LOL

WTF?

This would be incredibly brilliant.
Take a wild guess as to the number of countries this plane could be in?

It could literally be anywhere.

The US was able to read bin laden's driver's license plate from our spy satellites. We monitor that area of the world very thoroughly. If that plane went anywhere near pakistan, afghanistan, kazikstan, etc I guarantee the US knows where it is and what happened.
I've said all along the US knows what happened but for security reasons, has not finalized this. Maybe I'm dumbo.

But the moon fricked with us first; what are we supposed to do, just tuck our tails between our legs and stay home? That's not how it works; we're supposed to frick right back. And BTW, we don't have to acknowledge anything but what's in our interest.
This is without a doubt the best of all scenarios/theories......this plane is lost because we fricked with the moon.

because they were looking at cars, watching that particular transaction. A plane following a commercial route at a time when none is missing or non responding wouldn't raise that much suspicion.

people still think it landed in asia?
