I think this explains what happened?

When we think of human trafficking, we think a bunch of little kids being smuggled in a boat barefoot and dirty and thrown into a whorehouse in Vegas. In this particular instance, it sounds like a friend of these two particular men on the flight bought them plane tickets and bought them stolen fake passports and put them on this plane to start a new life in Europe. They don't have anything to do with terrorism, just two guys trying to start a new life and they picked the wrong day to do it.

that statement confuses me. Radar is radio frequency waves that are sent out and bounced back off of objects. GPS is a system of 24 satellites in space each with super accurate clocks that send an exact time to a receiver which then uses that time to verify its distance from each.
One should not interfere with the other.

Have they tried using passenger cell phone data to locate the plane? Surely someone had theirs on.

I never knew that. Still that was during a war. Parents just got back from Vietnam and said it was awesome...nothing about a war zone lol

I think think this plane is sitting on an airstrip somewhere. All people have been killed except the pilot and terrorist are using the plane as a training model of some sort. Bigger plans in the works.

if it was not able to be picked up on Radar then it was likely not anywhere near a cell tower. I mean I can barely get 3g with my sprint phone imagine being 200 miles from land.

The former NTSB was explaining it on nbc news at 5:30. I will try to find a link.

I know, accidents happen was my point.
And I want to go to Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand more than anywhere else in Asia.

Iran Air Flight 655 (IR655) was a commercial flight operated by Iran Air that flew from Bandar Abbas, Iran to Dubai, UAE. On July 3, 1988, towards the end of the Iran-Iraq War, the aircraft flying IR655 was shot down by the U.S. Navy Ticonderoga-class guided missile cruiser USS Vincennes when it fired a SM-2MR surface-to-air missile. The airplane was destroyed between Bandar Abbas and Dubai, killing all 290 passengers and crew. It was later determined that USS Vincennes was in Iranian waters at the time of the attack, and IR655, an Airbus A300, was misidentified as an Iranian F-14
Damn. I didn't know anything about this. Terrible.

I don't think Cambodia was a highlight of their trip. They went from Sydney to Hong Kong and just got back 2 days ago...will find out more soon.

This flight has taken the same path the last 2-3 trips this week. So not sure why they'd shoot it down this time.

Same was basically true of Iran Air 655.

I don't think it was shot down, do you?

Yet one can visit flightradar24 right now and see the real time progress of about 25 flights over the South China Sea, and a handful of flights over the dead middle of the North Pacific. Am I missing something?

Yea but that was in the middle of a war.
