Explosion 5 miles in the sky perhaps and debris over a huge area so I am surprised there's no evidence as some of this stuff floats :tear: :question:
Then maybe not as below..

Parts of a news page
New military radar information suggests the missing Malaysia Airlines plane veered off course and headed west before vanishing.....

"It changed course after Kota Bharu and took a lower altitude. It made it into the Malacca Strait," a senior military officer, who has been briefed on investigations, told Reuters.

That would appear to rule out sudden catastrophic mechanical failure, as it would mean the plane flew around 500 kilometres at least after its last contact with air traffic control, although its transponder and other tracking systems were off.

well let's see: it's a plane that went missing over the ocean

must have flown too high and ended up in space

According to military radar the plane continued to fly for another hour after it disappeared from commercial radar. Still kind of strange.

It's fucking weird no matter how you slice it. Since the military said they possibly tracked it after commercial radar lost it, there is a new area to search in. I mean, the Malacca Strait is not a small fucking body of water. It could take weeks to locate the wreckage if it did indeed crash land there.

The question remains, if there was no foul play: why did the plane veer off course 350 miles west and have zero communications with air control?

Some small part of me thinks there is something sinister at play here...

EDIT: The other thing is, I read that the pilot had been with Malaysia air for almost 35 years and had nearly 20,000 hours logged as pilot. That does not speak to me of someone who doesn't know what to do in an emergency. Unless it was explosive decompression or a bomb, what the fuck else could have possibly happened that would have meant no communication?

The Malaysian air force has denied reports a passenger plane that vanished with 239 people on board was detected on radar far west of its flight path.

A lot of this comes down to human error. If you recall the Air France flight that was flying fine until the instruments froze, giving false data. As a result of the data, the experienced pilots thought they were stalled, yet acted irrationally by forcing the nose of the airplane up as they increased thrust. The plane stalled and went into a flat spin, killing everyone upon impact with the ocean. It's always human error.

You should see their temples.
Vietnam said it had halted its air search and scaled back a sea search while it waited for Malaysia to offer more detail.

“We’ve decided to temporarily suspend some search and rescue activities, pending information from Malaysia,” Vietnam’s deputy minister of transport, Pham Quy Tieu, told AFP.

So they've likely been looking in all the wrong places... fucking Malaysians and their disinformation culture :mad:

I've also heard some of the travelers cell phones are still ringing when called which is very weird.

Just the network looking to connect to the phone, it's not really ringing.

Yes, Kracus, it's a conspiracy. There's no other possible explanation for that.

You're joking but this actually fits the description of a conspiracy in the sense that whoever hijacked the airplane conspired to do so.

I'm not saying it didn't crash into the water but it is odd that peoples phones are still ringing when dialed instead of going straight to a busy signal or voicemail. The lack of wreckage is also strange.
