    $10 says the Wired article is closer to what happened than your conspiracy theory that terrorists have the plane.

    If I win you have to spend $10 the way I tell you to and you have to take a picture to prove it. If you win I will spend the $10 like you tell me to, I can donate it to someone or something, whatever you want.

    Bet?

    But the pilot has a flight simulator at home. Do you know how bad that looks?!? That should tell you that he was up to something bad. People don't bring their work home with them. You work in the computer industry and I very much doubt you have a computer at home. Why would you? You use them all the time at work. Just like a pilot wouldn't have a computer with flight software on it at home. It makes no sense!

    It may not be that specific one Muslim but you can be quite sure it was a Muslim involved with the deed.
    The track record of Piracy at sea and in the air is damn near all Muslim.

    Ok, you be the judge when the story is in and I will buy you a beer with winnings. But I will be dammed if I will perform for your fertile mind and film it.

    Stupid objections.
    1. Both the author, a very experienced commercial pilot, and Malaysian authorities say you're wrong.

    2. If you'd read the author's theory you'd know his answer. There was a fire in the transponder area. The pilot and copilot turned it off to restart it, circuit by circuit. But the fire took over, the oxygen burnt up, and everyone onboard went unconscious fast before a pilot could return to the cockpit to make voice contact with the ground. The plane sailed on autopilot for hours till it ran out of fuel.

    3. See #2 answer. Next time, read the article before ventilating your hole on us.

    Sure a fire destroyed redundant transponders, redundant communications system, wiped out the oxygen in a heart beat but left the autopilot and flight control completely intact.
    Then when it did auger in, redundant beacons failed to deploy. naw! now go suck your thumb son, your in a mans game without a toolkit.

    Both transponders are next to the front door, under the floor, accessible through a hatch. They may be electronically redundant, but one fire can take out both. Depressurization would render everyone unconscious immediately, but leave the autopilot unaffected.

    It amazes me people even bother responding to several posters on this board. MARIS has proven himself to be a complete waste of time.

    yeah..I have seen this theory as well as several others. I think that I suffer from having been lied to by the press and government for so long, I have a hard time believing anything that is too simple or convenient.

    What makes sense to me, after seeing the equipment room of the 777, is that a fire started and someone went into the machine room and threw all the circuit breakers to off position. This took all redundant systems off the air. The idea would be to turn them all on, but one by one, to find out which one was causing the short or fire.

    The guy passed out before he could turn on the breakers for the communications systems.

    The plane changed heading and altitude because the systems were damaged, turned off, rebooting, etc.

    I suppose it could be, but damn, that would be piss poor engineering to have all redundant systems one power source or circuit control panel. Hard for me to believe the Boeing engineers could be that dim. I know some of those guys and they are not dim.

    Now it could be the circuits are on separate panels like they should, and piss poor performance by the flight crew proceeded as you suggest, shutting down multiple panels. That might do it.
    But it does not account for emergency beacons failed to deploy (again multiple systems failing).
    They should be floating on the sea beaming out the Aircraft ID and location on 406 mhz right now.

    The search for the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 is becoming a race against time as the plane's black box will ping for only a month, and instead of narrowing, the search area has been expanded to mind boggling dimensions.

    Already the black box has lost a third of its battery life since the plane vanished and the search area now encompasses 2.24 million square miles -- 10 times the size of Texas -- extending in the north from China and Kazakhstan south to Australia. Authorities hope to find the black boxes in order to understand what went wrong on flight MH370.

    That site speculates that President Clinton murdered golfer Payne Stewart.

    Well duh. Not too sharp today, eh?

    Many in this thread have joked about weird theories. Take yourself less seriously.

    Well the Black box is one thing and the 406 beacons are another. The 406 beacons deploy or are suppose to when it goes into the sea. The black box stays with the aircraft I think and it will ping under water. The 406 beacons have to be above the surface to broadcast on 406.

    Yeah so, the plane pinged or answer pings from communication satellites for about 7 hours last known. So that put it on that arc of x distance from the satellite but we never hear the 406 beacons. That should tell them where it is, about 7hrs flight time from the last radar contact, on that arc line of position.
    That means it is North because the beacons did not deploy.
