    All part of our new plan for military dominance in Asia.

    Whatever happened, you can be sure we set it up and you can be sure we will use it as justification for military intervention.

    2nd most likely scenario is it was hijacked to be used ala 911 and we shot it down. Now we play dumb rather than admit we murdered a planeload of innocents.

    Man, it must suck to be burdened with so much governmental hatred.

    Actually, it must feel masochistic to be burdened with a love of authority.

    "Whip me, boss! Thank you, massa!"

    Wouldn't know. I wholeheartedly support our government. Was a very active part of it for 17 years.

    My issues are with those traitors who illegally manipulate it for their own evil purposes.

    I have a pal who is a pilot. Knows the military stuff very well too. He says, especially in a post-911 world, the second the plane went off course, and then when the pilot turned the transponders off, we knew of it, and knew exactly when, and where it happened. No way we let any plane fly anywhere it is not supposed to go anymore - we monitor everything, and have the most sophisticated equipment.

    Thus he says, it was a hijack, and we knew it immediately by the actions of the plane and pilots, and so we shot it down so as to prevent another 9/11 type event - that that is our policy now. AND we know exactly where it is.

    It actually makes a lot of sense, does it not?

    I'm pinging this because I think my comment above is worth chatting about.

    Thoughts?

    It happened at a halfway point, a gray area, right where the Thai control tower turns authority over to the Vietnamese one. There's often a delay in picking up the signal. Thus the delay in realizing the plane was missing.

    My question is thats our post 911 world, would Malaysia act the same way or have the same paranoia and security measures as us? They were allowing civilians in the cockpit already with no concern.

    I will accept it, but only if you concede that the fire was started when the aliens shot highly advanced weapons at the hijackers.

    The "facts" being reported aren't so factual. Stuff like the two communications systems being shut off several minutes apart is now corrected to them both being shut off at the same time.

    It's more sensational to make a lot of hooey about it.

    Given the facts as they are actually becoming known, the fire and subsequent crash makes the most sense.

    Reminds me of the case of Payne Stewart. He was a pro golfer whose private plane had a malfunction that killed everyone on board from hypoxia. The plane was on autopilot and flew itself for hours until it ran out of fuel.

    I find it hard to believe that after all the defense spending we've done over the years, and post 911, that we would lose track of a plane this size, no matter what they tried to do on the plane.

    If anything, it's surprising that there is no report of jets being scrambled to go check out what was going on. I suspect there were.

    No doubt someone knows what happened, likely we will not find out.

    The Payne Stewart thing was a dark day. I liked him. I grew up in the golf business and play/follow the sport often.
    I lived in Branson, Mo and played the Bill (his dad, a great amateur player) and Payne Stewart public course in Springfield which was a nice layout. A stage manager I worked with there named John Payne was Payne's cousin and the inspiration for his first name. It was a devastating day for them.

    I don't buy it.

    1. I don't know how they know this plane went to 43+ thousand feet. Normal Radar is in no way equipped to calculate the elevation of a target from a primary return. The Transponder send the elevation data but without that a normal radar can't do it. There are radars that can, called a Height finding radar which is designed to measure the elevation angle and trig out the height from the angle and the range to the target. Some Navy ships have these and air defense systems but I have seen no report of that contact.

    2 So all the transponders go out at the same time. OK, why don't this pilot radio a Mayday?
    I can't buy it that all his communication gear all went in one instant unless the friggin plane blew up. In that case there would be shit all over the south China Sea. I am pretty sure a 777 has more redundancy in communication gear than I have on my boat and no way does my boat go dark with two SSB radios, 2 VHF radios, and a World Wide capable Ham radio. All this on independent Battery banks.

    3. The last thing we should have heard from this plane in a catastrophic event , was the broadcast from one or more of it's emergency beacons that deployed and broadcast on 406mhz which would be picked up by satellite or another aircraft or ship at sea.

    That plane is on the ground some where, next chapter to play when ready.

    You're joking, right?

    If they figured Stewart's plane might crash into a populated area, they were prepared to shoot it down over a not populated area. As it was, they gave every chance for someone to somehow wake up in the plane.
