Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. WTF?

[IamCANADIAN013]

The plane take off to china (north of malaysia), why the hell they go to indian ocean, west of perth  (south of malaysia)
seem they hide something here

Of course they are hiding something here.  I highly doubt we will ever find the truth.  They are hoping that people just bury their heads in the sand and ask as few questions as possible though. Less lies to cover up that way.

Well of course the conspiracy theorists will always have their views. We never landed on the moon too, right?

They've been given a great deal of ammo with this one.  It's not like this plane just flew of course, had a mechanical malfunction, and crashed into the sea.

I don't think any rational person would accept that explanation either.

What is so unbelievable about that? Seems perfectly plausible to me, but I'd wait for more evidence before speculating, but what should a rational person believe then? Some wild unbacked conspiracy?

It won't end the speculation and you're right people will still cling onto hope, but they're probably just prolonging their grief. The relatives wanted answers or responses from the investigators* and weren't* getting any but that's because there was nothing really to report other than they were doing their best to look for it, but that it probably crashed.

The authorities did this to Run away from the Defame it will bring to them.. just imagine authorities saying " We Tried , We Failed " they will never say this.

Well that's still what they're kinda saying, but they have a momentous task here. There's several countries out looking for it so it's not exactly incompetence; it's just a needle in a haystack scenario.

i was watching a video on CNN today and they saaid the final ping to satellite from flight 370 at the southern indian ocean was at 9:11 AM they are calling it the 911 PING

interesting, looks very well planned out

[GigaCoin]

But seriously, this shit:

Some lunatic smashing some fruits togheter, and then paddling on a carpet with a basket, fruits and a walking cane.

If I were a relative to anyone on that plane, I would probably attack them outright for contempt of the gravity in the situation.

And even worse, is it some government employees or official from the airlines that invites those clowns?

Here's another video as well:

As someone stated above. In this day and age, how come we still lean towards superstitious people like this?

Religon is bad enough, but this. (Sorry if I offend any religious people). Witch doctors and their remedies...

Why won't they use witch doctors and remedies to build the planes in the first place? After all, they can do magic, so why won't the planes materialize out of thin air?

Malaysia is really making a fool out of themselves with this tomfoolery.

Perhaps it's some cultural thing in Malaysia, and that some people actually believe in it. But I can say that much, if some clown ever did shit like that when my wife went missing, he would soon miss some teeth. Well, probably not, but I would still think in those circles.

Anyway, with a lot of possible dead bodies around, I think any serious company should spare themselves shit like this.

I don't have any respect for this, and I was surprised to see it happen.

Anyone know more about the cultural or religious background for this ?

OMG i was laughing so hard at that video, HAHAHAHA that's hilarious!

Thing is that at this point there is no evidence that the plane crashed: we don't have reliable radar data, no debris, no sightings... nothing. How can they be so sure that it went down straight into the ocean and tell the people who are desperately waiting for informations that their beloved ones are all dead? That's outrageous. When a single person disappears he/she won't be proclaimed dead only after two weeks of search, and here we are talking about big aircraft with 239 people onboard.

True, but imagine them tracing that missing persons phone to the middle of the desert then going dead for three weeks. You're not going to survive in the desert (or sea) for so long. Of course there's a possibility that the plane is ok, but it's highly improbable.

it seems there is some closure on this and I'm glad to here it.  The poor families have had to deal with this circus and the media should be ashamed.  It was brought to my attention the CNN actually speculated that the plane was sucked up by a black hole...  I kid u not a black freaking hole....

What do you expect from mass media? http://youtu.be/LV6A4QiAkVw

There will be no closure until the black box is found.

I dunno. They could find bits of the wreckage but never the black box. I think finding wreckage would be sufficient closure.

For that they will require to find it..! if they can't find a Huge plane I'm quite skeptical about they will be able to find a relatively small black box.

[Kapz786]

Apparently the black box only has the last 2 hrs of recordings which will not be as helpful as when the decision was made to turn the plane hard left

It will be helpful we don't even know when the plane crashed[if it did] so listening to all recording will be helpful .

[roslinpl]

If the goat lady can't find it and the voodoo witch doctor guy couldn't find it that only leaves one possible location of where it could be...

The aliens vaporized it.

Aliens are just a easiest way to explain it :-)

There was nothing but ocean and planes tend to go down when they run out of fuel. Whether it went straight down or at an angle makes no difference.

If you are hinting at the possibility it ditched mostly intact, no passenger plane ever ditched intact on an ocean to my knowledge (lakes and rivers is something else), especially not an ocean as rough as the one where it went down. You'd also need to explain how the crew would be able to do the impossible by doing a successful ditching but were unable to prevent the plane from flying 1000s of miles of course for the previous 6+ hours.

As it stands now, the most likely explanation IMO is still pilot suicide or something similar to Helios flight 522:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helios_Airways_Flight_522

WHich also flew on for many hours with everyone on board unconscious /dead (except possibly one crew member).

The only thing clearly different here is that transponder and other comms were disabled, which could easily be explained by an electrical fire which would be the underlying cause for the oxygen deprivation/incapacitation of the crew.

Whatever happened, if that plane was ever anywhere near the places that the satellite data points to, there is no feasible way people onboard could still be alive.

Why is pilot suicide a likely explanation? I've seen nothing at all to suggest that.

They're designed to float for as long as possible, but planes are pretty fragile and I doubt they'll take much from the waves before they go under.

I say that based on earlier reports that indicated ACARS had been turned off manually and the flight computer reprogrammed to turn before the last radio contact, which would imply a deliberate pilot action for reasons he didnt want to share with traffic control. But I do not know what the source of those reports were and the timing of events seems to have been altered since, undermining most of my hypothesis. Even so, if I were to commit suicide by crashing a plane, Id probably prefer it remained a mystery too, if for no other reason as to save my family the shame.  Disabling all comms and flying it to the most remote part of the ocean where it may never be found,  is a good way of achieving that.
