Big passenger jet may have gone down

• SnotBubbles

  

  Confirmed the plane went down in the Indian Ocean. Debris must have matched-up, but they haven't actually come out and said that. No survivors.
  
  So much for my Hollywood movie guess.

  Malaysian authorities are saying no survivors.

  I need to see something concrete if I'm the family. I'm not doubting it went down but some debris something would be nice.

  ...still going with my guess that it was a Payne Stewart plane like scenario.

  Do I need to say it?
  
  
  
  OK I will just for all my Cleveburgh buddies...Tiernan is ALWAYS right.

  way to go out on a limb and predict a missing plan crashed in an ocean.

  Fuck Said, That's an accomplishment when you can't stand up most of the time.

  Yeah, I won't believe it until the parts of the plane are identified, but with more and more floating objects being discovered by the day/hour, it doesn't look good for the families hoping for survivors. If anyone did survive, they were swallowed up by the sea or eaten by sharks by now. It's been two and a half weeks.

  Not yet. Plane still hasn't been found.
  
  Still think the planes sitting in a hangar in Pakistan right now.

  I haven't kept up in the past few days, but is this a legit theory? Reasoning?
• reclegend22

  

  The real fail here is the Malaysian PM saying "All lives lost" when the search has yet to officially identify pieces of the plane. Right now, they just know that there are objects in the sea floating. That part of the southern Indian is notoriously wild with erratic currents where tons of floating objects drift in from waterways all over the world. It could be that those objects are parts of the plane. It could also be that they are not.

  More a conspiracy lol
  
  I'm usually not one for conspiracy theories, but this one I'm fully on board.

  What the British newspapers/media are reporting (for what that is worth) is that the plane's trajectory was heading towards some odd locations in the Indian Ocean, with one being a U.S. base. If that is the case the military signals would more than likely be able to track the trajectory. And of course if one is more cynical there are several countries that have this capability via satellite and can track air traffic at a whim. They are also bringing up the mental stability of the pilot.

From the beginning, I've never understood why there isn't much focus at all on land. There really isn't much evidence either way, and right now there is a water cyclone over the search zone in the Indian making the search pretty much futile. So it could be days before those objects in question are even properly vetted.
  
  While the plane might be three miles at the bottom of the ocean, in which case it will never be found, there should be just as much presence on land masses within the search parameters as well.

  Good call. You and S&L should have been heading the search. LOL!

  And yet, still no debris has been found.
  
  As I said, the plane could be at the bottom of the ocean, but there should still be a search on land as well until the mystery is solved.

  Because they're only looking in an area the size of the United States

  I'm with gerb here.
  
  -WE FOUND IT
  
  -Oh shit no we didn't.
  
  -WE FOUND IT.
  
  -Oh shit, no, no we didn't.
  
  -SERSLY GUYS WE FOUND IT!!!
  
  GTFO.

  Just found out my neighbor left Friday morning to go fly refueling missions if needed for the search. Pretty cool for him because his wife is already in Australia doing some sort of teaching clinic for 4 months. So they will get to see each other.

  That's a nice theory, but military radar only extends [maybe] 250 miles offshore. The US (and probably China, USSR) have satellites that could track it, but that would only be if you had it tasked in the area at the relevant time (and I doubt the middle of the Indian Ocean is of much interest to military intelligence). On the other hand, US military satellites probably ARE looking at China and other countries in that region...which is probably why the US has been saying it went down in the ocean all along.
  
  It's an odd heading only if something would suggest a better theory than mechanical/fire or pilot suicide.
  
  The whole stealing the plane theory just stretches credulity on multiple fronts. Even if we accept what would be a relatively shocking failure of the global intelligence community to find any credible links at all, you still have the more than a small challenge of landing/taking off and hiding a 777. Forget the larger commercial airports, most (if not all) of the smaller airports aren't going to have hangars capable of enclosing a 777. The back-end of that James Bond-style plot would seem prohibitively expensive when even getting the plane there would seem to have a low chance of success. Not like you're going to hide that thing with tree branches and camouflage netting.

  I'd guess there's at least 1 movie producer with his fingers crossed that nothing more is ever learned.
