still not found it the chiunese are geting arsey

The media know sweet diddly pops about anything...

That said a claim by a Chinese group that they were responsible was apparently dismissed as nonwense, but was only reported locally, not over here 

I didn't know you actually spoke Chinese. 

It must have been all those crispy Duck pancakes

What are the odds on it being on the ground...

one way or another, Im sure it is.

Just heard a chap on the Radio 2 news (didn't catch his name) say that the authorities know more about this than they are letting on, and they have been searching The Malacca Straights, which is the opposite side of Malaysia from where the plane was supposed to be!

Hopefull not the eejit from Jeremy Whine earlier Trying to dress it up as another, cringe, 9/11... A BA pilot rang in after and basically told Jessy to stop stirring the media shitpot

Without evidence to the contrary, the plane could as likely have landed safely somewhere. Disappearing an hour into a six hour flight leaves about six hours of fuel... an easy 2400 mile radius

There is no surprise in that as earlier it was announced that the plane may have turned and headed back to it's departure airport and could well have flown over the Malacca Straight when it disappeared.

No proof of anything with no aircraft/debris

Somethings got to come to light soon

"Two Italian passengers said to be aboard the flight turned out to be safe on the ground, when they told authorities that their passports had, in fact, been stolen earlier. Someone aboard the flight was said to be using them, one of whom resembled a famous soccer player"   

What is interesting is these aircraft are supposedlyfitted with a device that transmits data back to base about the plane periodically. Has anyone officially said they have /haven't been receiving that?

maybe global warming has caused the Bermuda Triangle to shift.

not that far from the devil's sea (or dragon triangle)

There is much speculation and theorising over this incident .. but, in all honesty, there are many more questions than there are answers, and the world's experts are just as confused - but are being sensible and not coming up with the wild suppositions of the media ...

Other than the, sensible, questions asked in the media regarding debris and lack of it, satellite tracking and routing, communication or the lack of it .. etc etc there are the questions that those who know the aircraft, and the "system" are asking .. but are unable to answer ...

1) Every aircraft is fitted with an emergency locator beacon, this is activated by both impact and/or water, and the failure rate is miniscule. It has not been activated - which leads to a lot of questions ....

2) The commonly called "black boxes" - actually bright orange and made to detach and float - also have locator beacons - these also have not been activated.

3) In the event of a total engine failure - an unlikely but possible occurrence - the aircraft would descend in a steep "glide" of around 6000 ft/minute. From 35000 ft that is 6 minutes ... more than enough for a distress call on the battery powered radios

4) In the event of an explosive decompression, or a bomb - the aircraft "falling apart" - numerous items would float .. seats, liferafts, clothing, suitcases etc etc ... nothing has been found

For an aircraft, and 200+ passengers with all their luggage etc etc to simply disapear without trace is, actually, unprecedented.. in every other equivalent mishap there has been some trace of the wreckage......

More questions than answers at the moment ....
