I think they can roughly triangulate them but I'm not sure how accurately and obviously if they're in the water then the positions will keep moving and the chances are they've travelled quite far away from the wreckage... if indeed it's crashed

Isn't it odd though, that phones are ringing? Shouldn't they have been switched off on the flight? Or is that not a universal rule on all flights? Did people perhaps turn them on fearing they were about to die to try and call loved ones?

US investigators are pursuing the possibility that missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 and its 239 passengers and crew are being held against their will at an unknown location.

The Wall Street Journal has this afternoon published sensational claims that counterterrorism officials now believe somebody on board deliberately turned off the plane’s transponders to avoid radar detection.

The report said data automatically downloaded and sent to the ground from the Boeing 777’s engines indicated the plane remained in the air for a total of five hours – a further four hours after contact was lost.

“Officials were told investigators are actively pursuing the notion that the plane was diverted ‘with the intention of using it later for another purpose’,” the paper said, quoting an unnamed source.

Much more to this story than we are being told ..........!!!

Feel so sorry for the families waiting to hear news, they lurch from hope to no hope to hope again. A plane of that size would be fairly hard to hide wouldn't it..

I agree...........hearing these reports of Hijacking may give them some small amount of hope but as we have seen from this fast moving news story every claim is sooner or later found to be inaccurate and the hope then disappears.

Torture for the families, just hope this story has an ending and a happy one at that but I am not that optimistic.

Yeah that coupled with the phones ringing, though there has been a reason given for this.

God... this is just mental, actually not so sure now that it's crashed, it's strange that they haven't been able to find any wreckage after so long...

[Nedusa]

There are so many unanswered questions. Here are some of the questions that must be asked.

1. Why wasn't there a locator beacon if the aircraft if it did crash?
2. GPS is used in all modern large aircraft and especially a 777.
3. No sign of any wreckage and even if the aircraft was submersed there would still be a fuel slick.
4. Satellites are used all over the world and radar is tracked by not just one facility but numerous tracking locations because countries track all aircraft near or in their airspace
5. Why were cell phones still working after the disappearance.
6. To debris to date has been found.
7. Any aircraft that large would need a long runway to land with that much weight on board. Why doesn't the Malaysian government do a search on all runways with 10,000 feet of runway and tell the news media it has cleared all airports?

Seems strange this is hushed up just like KAL 007 in 1983. Something is very fishy about all of this.

[Nedusa]

And of course why have they not picked up the signals from the Flight and Data recorders as these signals will continue to be transmitted for up to 30 days from day of disappearance, and signals should be strong enough to be picked up especially if the plane debris is lying in relatively shallow water.

The signals on those aren't great, as they are mainly for focussing in on them once the wreckage has been found.

it took 2 years to locate the French 447 flight
at the bottom of the sea.


No it just takes time to find it.

So strange!

Cant be bothered to read the entire thread, has anybody seen http://www.tomnod.com/nod/challenge/malaysiaairsar2014 you can search through satellite images of the area looking for it.

[the truth]

when are where was it seen last? the news isnt clear as usual

[Gstar]

this is so scary

Aliens?

I feel so sorry for the families, a lot of them are apparently suicidal it's terrible
I can't imagine having a family member in a situation like that and be expected to live the rest of my life not knowing whatever truly happened to them. It'd be so much easier to just have them dead & buried. I really really hope they find them

[GypsyGoth]

I watched the american version of this show, it was called The Event. I don't want to spoil what's gonna happen, but the plane shows up again and they try fly it into the president or something. It's pretty good.

Just goes to show how ridiculously massive the ocean is, as obvious as that sounds

..yeah, I think not knowing is probably the worst feeling you can have because you can't begin coming to terms with anything or begin grieving and however unlikely will hang on to hope that your loved one is alive somewhere and you're completely helpless to them...
