Malaysian Airlines Flight 370
I was hoping we'd find out that hijackers had landed the plane on some remote island and were holding all the passengers hostage, but this article makes a pretty compelling argument for a more tragic explanation.
Quote:
What I think happened is the flight crew was overcome by smoke and the plane continued on the heading, probably on George (autopilot), until it ran out of fuel or the fire destroyed the control surfaces and it crashed. You will find it along that route–looking elsewhere is pointless.

Re: Malaysian Airlines Flight 370
I read where the engine data transmitted to Rolls Royce showed that the plane climbed to 45,000 feet, several thousand feet over the plane's service ceiling before dropping down to as low as 23,000, then leveling out at 29,000 for about six hours. Too bad those half-hourly data dumps didn't show GPS data.

Re: Malaysian Airlines Flight 370
Courtney Love thinks she's found the wreckage, located a mile off Pulau Perak, Malaysia.
The island itself doesn't look like much of a jetliner landing site.

The article vm linked to says that climbing as high as possible could have been an attempt to put out a fire. Then either losing control because of the very thin air or deliberate diving (again to try to extinguish a fire) could explain the height loss.

Don't worry vm. I'm sure hijackers will commandeer a plane soon. You just need to be patient.

Re: Malaysian Airlines Flight 370
A fire onboard Flight 370 is probably the most reasonable explanation, with one pilot believing the plane went down on the way to Palau Langkawa, the closest airport with a runway long enough for a plane that size. The flight crew being overcome by smoke explains why the plane continued on for four hours or more, until it ran out of fuel or the fire destroyed the control surfaces.

Wouldn't that be explained in the same way the left turn was, i.e. they were heading for the nearest landing strip? Or is it so complicated that the pilot would be more likely to try and find/land manually? I really have no idea about these things, just wondering.

Re: Malaysian Airlines Flight 370
MH370 disappearance: Chris Goodfellow's theory about a fire and Langkawi is wrong.
Another article poking holes in the Langkawi theory.
Personally, I'm just assuming it's on the island with the bad twin security system smoke monster let's just say it's a dinosaur.

Re: Malaysian Airlines Flight 370
I don't think it falls into the realm of tinfoil hat "conspiracy theory" to think this plane was stolen and landed somewhere, honestly.

Re: Malaysian Airlines Flight 370
If, like me, you've not followed this whole thing closely from the start then this is a pretty good summary of what has happened so far.

I would think that if there was a fire and emergency bad enough to keep them from communicating the situation, it would be bad enough to keep them from programming flight plans into the computer.
Also from Adam's link
Quote:
Take other major findings of the investigation into account, and Goodfellow’s theory falls apart. For one thing, while it’s true that MH370 did turn toward Langkawi and wound up overflying it, whoever was at the controls continued to maneuver after that point as well, turning sharply right at VAMPI waypoint, then left again at GIVAL. Such vigorous navigating would have been impossible for unconscious men.

CNN Headline News consults psychic who says passengers are still alive and being held at an undisclosed information.

That's real useful then.
Given psychics' track record, they're dead.

Re: Malaysian Airlines Flight 370
Malaysian PM declares based on a total of no evidence "...that we have to assume beyond any reasonable doubt that MH370 has been lost..." so at least we know it's not just the news media that likes to jerk people around.
I've found the mystery interesting but the constant bolded headlines leading to nothing but speculation are a bit tiresome. I find it odd so many assume it's crashed when there's zero evidence for that. My current hypothesis is that someone stole a $200 million airplane as while not impossible it seems unlikely someone would go through the trouble of sneaking the plane off course just to crash it somewhere else.

Re: Malaysian Airlines Flight 370
What do you mean no evidence? I heard that conclusion was reached based on further analysis of the automatic satellite update data.
