To be honest, there have been so many conflicting stories im not sure what I remember reading, who wrote it, who made the claims and where they claimed it was.

If the intention was to create enough confusion to hide the truth, then those Malaysians are smarter than we think.

You might be right on that.
I don't remember hearing any claims regarding the Indian ocean early on, but I may have missed them.

There is so much guessing going on with this, the media is having a field day coming up with fake headlines.

I can't believe we've already had two TV specials on the matter when there are still basically no facts other than the plane took off and it didn't go where it was supposed to.

everybody relates what they saw or heard to this regardless of their location in the world, hence the oil rig worker and the people in the maldives who all think they saw it

I think it's crashed, not been hidden , and that all people on board are lost, possibly due to loss of cabin pressure like the Air Helios flight

anyone who thinks otherwise please can you give your full theory rather than just 'this is suss'

Your probably right to be honest, everyone wants their 2 bobs worth.
That's one of the reasons I started the thread, a bit of speculative discussion.

Lets face it, none of us have any idea what happened, well maybe LTD due to his occupation and insight, but heck, even the people who should know appear clueless.

Personally, I believe it may have been an attempted hijacking due to the passenger discrepancies.
The question for me is, did it get ditched, shot down or was it diverted to another location to conceal the situation.

I've read a number of alternative (read 'conspiracy') theories and to be honest, some aspects are quite plausible when viewed from an open mind, or perhaps that's overactive imagination.

There's nothing wrong with questioning the 'official line', in fact, considering the way this has been handled by so called professionals, it would be naïve not to.
I just thank God that Australia is leading the way if it is infact deep in the Indian ocean.
If its there, we will find it.

Channel 7 news just said the plane did fly over maldives and then turned and went out to the indian ocean. So then someone must of been in control.

If that was the case, why stop at killing only 239 people on the plane. Why not turn the plane towards singapore and fly into one of the oil refineries. Why not fly into the petronas towers or go onto beijing and fly into one of their towers.

Don't ask me just ask channel 7, that's what they just reported. I'm as confused as the next person. Nothing is making sense and when you think they are sticking to a story, they put another spin on it. This is truly a great mystery, I don't think even Steven Spielberg could come up with a better plot.

Instead of using warships and merchant ships to do the searching they should commandeer a few top end fishing boats, the factory boat I worked on could work in almost any weather, and drag a net for as long as it took.
There's some skilled fishing captains out there who could find the proverbial needle in a haystack blind folded...

I love a good conspiracy theory as much as the next guy, but seriously... What is there to cover up?
What sick mind would allow all of this pain and exhausting of resources to take place looking for something that didn't happen??
At a time like this, it needs to be remembered that the most obvious explanation is usually the right one.

But what is the most Obvious explanation?

That one of the safest passenger aircraft ever to fly randomly had a catastrophic comms failure, but still managed to supposedly weave around radar coverage, then fly aimlessly into the Indian Ocean?

Seems legit.

The Russians said over a week ago that the Americans took it to Diego Garcia.

Who do you believe?

The Russians? Generally do what they want when they want, and stuff what anyone else thinks...

The Americans? Invade random countries because of wmd's and terrorists they helped train? Get around their own bill or rights by building a prison in another country so they can torture and imprison people indefinitely without charge?

The Malaysians? Who are coming across as competent as an aca reporter?

Tony Abbott? Who, on face value, couldn't lie straight in bed?

Tangled tangled web.


Look at this way, how easy is it to hide a 777?

Really easy im guessing, land it on a military airfield, paint in some other markings, fly it out again.

Who can tell one 777 from another if you can't go off their markings?

Yes that's right, the CIA has constant satellite uplinks to every flight in the sky. And the CIA pays the data bill on the airlines behalf?

Wow I'm not sure what some people have been smoking but its obviously A grade stuff...............

But they wouldn't need constant monitoring, only the availability when someone sticks their head out...like a plane that suddenly drops off radar.

It makes perfect sense to be able to monitor and even control a commercial plane by wire post 9/11.
If this was available then, the 4th plane wouldn't have gone down in that field.

Of course it needs constant connection and monitoring. Are you going to wait to confirm if the receiver has been sabotaged and is no longer receiving once you perceive you have a problem????????????????????

And just on that, who takes over the controls? The work experience kid in cubicle 28 who happens to be good at Xbox? No? Ok so where's the 24/7 manned bunker with all of these pilots standing by to take over the controls of a plane they have no telemetry on and no visuals or other data to land the thing???????

Also what sovereign nation is going to allow another nation to take control of their assets in the sky?????

Sorry but sometimes these theories have to be dragged out into the light of day ..........

Their good for a laugh though :-)

Sure, and its a discussion. I've seen a thousand conspiracy theories that are very light on facts or details being used to combat the theory being put forward which is also short on facts.

But if your going to post them at least be prepared to discuss them

people these days seem to think they have a right to know everything about anything.
if some small detail in the case hasn't been dismissed by searchers with proof then it is seen as a cover up. just because you haven't been told something doesn't make it a cover up. peoples le assume that the media know everything and if they say it's a cover up then it is.
The plane will be found eventually until then people should stop doing there own investigating back to front. you can't find out what happened on board until you find the plane.

Not in the least surprising. The debris has been in the water for nearly 4 weeks now in what is known as a massive washtub of conflicting currents. It could be in Antarctica by now.

So now they're saying as many as 300 items visible from satellites and aircraft, yet still no one can pick one up out of the sea?
Not even a clear photo of any of these items?
The American Poseidon is literally a flying camera, capable of some pretty incredible feats of surveillance if you believe some of the more techy articles, yet the best pics we have look like they've used a potato as a camera?
