I'd like to add one more theory since my guess is a good as any other, the plane was taken over by people smugglers, flown to Indonesia, jam packed with "asylum seekers" and flown to Australia. Nothing else could explain the apparently senseless disappearance of a scheduled flight from KL to Beijing. There are hundreds of places it could have landed in Northern Australia and I predict that this will start a flood of copycat attempts

Who would've thought that radar systems get turned off at night in the Indian Ocean region ?

[paraclete]

I don't think there are radar systems in the Indian Ocean and yes it is possible that airports only operate during daylight hours in remote regions. We are talking about a part of the world which is remote with few centres of population and sophistication. We have long said Australia was vulnerable in the north but then there is the secret military over the horizon radar installations but noone has offered any data, what good are these systems if they can't watch far out?

[paraclete]

are we watching an episode of Lost here. latest information places the plane passing over the Maldives, next stop is a long way away, so any bets on it landing on some remote island

[tomder55]

so any bets on it landi

ng on some remote island

doubtful ... the plane needs about a mile of clear runway. It's lost alright ....at the bottom of Davey Jones ' locker .

[paraclete]

I see it on some beautiful beach, not necessarily intact but it is possible to bring it down

[paraclete]

some wreckage sighted by sattelite, we can hope this saga will come to an end soon, and not be another dead end like the chinese sighting

[tomder55]

Doubt it .. It took 2 years to find the black box of Air France Flight 447 ...and they knew immediately where it crashed into the Atlantic.

[smoothy]

I think the Malaysians have been lying through their teeth about this all along.

Its probibly sitting on some remote airstrip large enough to handle it... the passengers killed and it being loaded with explosives for some Muslim plot against an as yet unknown target.

[tomder55]

it's a more plausible theory than the nut job on CNN who speculated that it went through a black hole.

[paraclete]

now where was that black hole again? in CNN carpark?

[smoothy]

CNN must have gotten LSD laced Sugar cubes in their breakroom.

Not impossible... that falls within the flight range... doesn't it?

[paraclete]

Yes certainly does, ofcourse i'll probably be proven wrong this time but watch this space

[paraclete]

well now we have it the possibility that MH370 was a ghost flight, just one more possibility in a plethoria of possibilities, meanwhile in the lower Indian Ocean otherwise known as the Southern Ocean, actually getting hold of an actual piece of debris is elusive, so far identifed are a possible pallet with straps, an orange object, possible life raft and a circular object and well as various images of larger objects.

[tomder55]

The plane was carrying a cargo of lithium ion batteries . Wouldn't be the 1st time those batteries caused problems on airliners. A Boeing 787 caught fire on the ground at Logan Airport due to those batteries. Batteries in computers have heated up and caused fires on cargo and passanger planes before too.

[smoothy]

I think the Malaysians shot it down... either on purpose or by accident.

[NeedKarma]

Now it's a race to find the black box before its beacon batteries die out. Sadly I don't think this place will ever be found. Or if some debris is found we won't have any data to figure out the cause or what happened moments before it veered off track.

[smoothy]

THis is what happens for allowing Muslims to get in the cockpits of airplanes despite the lessons learned on 9/11 with Muslims and airplanes.

[talaniman]

LOL Smoothy,we haven't learned the lesson of Christians with guns yet either. Or tax exemptions for that matter. You don't have to be Muslim to be goofy, crazy, or dangerous.

Allowing people to get drunk in a bar is a great idea? Assuming and presuming may be fun speculation, but facts which there are few are inconclusive. Hadn't heard these guys were even Muslims.

Please engage speculation font or your friends will think your NUTS(?).
