No one DEMANDED anything. I merely asked.

Do you say the same when Niki responds, sometimes more than once, to her own posts, before anyone else has ?

Oddly, no. You don't.

What info are we suppose to have spoken on, when none was forthcoming ?

Seriously, look at the true controling nature of YOU, who wants to dictate what is or what is not said in this thread.

Are you of N. Korean descent ? Just askin'.

Haha... only see what I'm talking about when I find one of him between the ages of 16 and 17. He was like an old man to me back then.



I tip my hat to him. All the more reason for me to learn how to speak/sing in Spanish.

Half my life ago, and he was a better singer in two languages than I'll ever be in only one.




Would be hard for me to post the truth without posting this finding on the way....



:)

Making me smile now. :)

Oh... sorry to steal this thread. Who cares where the plane is.

Neo bent it out of existence. There is no plane.

Props to whoever disappeared it. I want a job working for them.



For now, just enjoy nearly 8 minutes of awesomeness :)

Malaysian leader: plane's disappearance deliberate

http://bostonherald.com/news_opinion/international/asia/2014/03/malays
ian_leader_planes_disappearance_deliberate


"A Malaysian passenger jet missing for more than a week had its communica-
tions deliberately disabled and its last signal came about seven and a half hours
after takeoff, meaning it could have ended up as far as Kazakhstan or deep in
the southern Indian Ocean, Prime Minister Najib Razak said Saturday

"Najib's statement Saturday confirmed days of mounting speculation that the
disappearance of the Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 with 239 people on board was
not accidental, and underlines the massive task for searchers who already been
scouring vast areas of ocean. ...

... "Najib said authorities had determined that the plane's last communication
with a satellite was in one of two possible "corridors" — a northern one from
northern Thailand through to the border of Kazakstan and Turkmenistan, and
a southern one from Indonesia to the southern Indian Ocean."

I'm inclined to think ( as I've always said through out this ordeal ) that the more likely final destination for this plane was the ocean's floor.

Still, since before 9/11, there have been reports that Muslim extremists have plotted to hijack airliners from SE Asia and use them as kamikaze missiles. To deny that as a possibility, even a remote one, is simply stubborn, willful ignorance.

( And for those playing along at home, this is the FIRST suggestion by ME that Muslim terrorists could be involved here )

Is there anyone left in the country who CNN and Fox New haven't interviewed about their 'expert' opinion of what happened to this plane? The wildest one came yesterday from Lt. General Thomas McInerney who said he believes the plane is now sitting in a secret hangar in either Pakistan or Iran. It's being refueled and loaded up with nuclear and dirty bombs and biological weapons. Good luck world. I'll be with Dr. Strangelove in a nearby mine shaft.

Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.


We'll see how the news wanders. Unnamed officials are sometimes good sources, and sometimes not. Official pronouncements are sometimes good sources, and sometimes not. At present, it looks like a hijacking, though to what end is beyond apparent. Taking a plane to the bottom of the ocean seems pretty pointless - even counter-productive. I'm keeping an open mind.

In terms of looking at possible scenarios, that's not all that wild. If there was indeed enough fuel to make it to those destinations, it only stands to reason that , upon landing, a secret hanger is exactly what would be needed to hide a 777.

And why would anyone NEED to secretly steal and then hide a large airliner ?

Oh don't get me wrong, I like General McInerney. In fact he's my favorite military analyst out of all of them including Colonel Hunt. It's just when he went on air and said that, it was the first time that someone had artciulated such a dire scenario and it was startling.

That's the million dollar question, isn't it? I have a feeling we'll find out, perhaps later than sooner. I wonder what precautions are in place around the world to deal with the plane if it comes out of hiding. Are countries ready to immediately shoot it down?

The Media Discusses Me Discussing Them Discussing the Malaysian Airline Mystery
March 18, 2014




RUSH ARCHIVE : I forget who said it, and I'm not even gonna get the saying right, but it might have been Sir Arthur Conan Doyle writing as Sherlock Holmes who said something like, once you have ruled out everything and the most improbable, the simplest explanation for any mystery is probably the case. The problem with trying to figure what happened with this airliner is that it's impossible to conceive of the simplest explanation because now we're at 10 days. Ten days that people have been watching television. Ten days of nameless, faceless experts all over every network, none of 'em know anything, all advancing theories


RUSH: Well, CNN had to swat this down, and they chose to do it with our old buddy Jacob Tapper. Last night on CNN's The Lead, he spoke with a retired commercial pilot, CNN aviation analyst Jim Tilmon.

TAPPER: Still no closer to finding the missing jet. And my next guest, a former pilot, says the simplest explanation is actually the least likely.

RUSH: See? See? They had to find what I said, without mentioning my name, "the simplest explanation is actually the least likely."

On the surface they both seem incompetent, but it could also be just a simple lack of experience in dealing with something of this magnitude. Or it could be an effort to protect themselves or what they might already know. The U.S. and China aren't saying very much either. Some theorize that Washington could be planning a secret operation to recapture the plane from the hijackers right now.

China has new images showing object in southern Indian Ocean, Malaysia says

China has new satellite images showing a large object floating in the southern Indian Ocean and will be sending ships to verify, the Malaysian transport minister said Saturday.

The object is 22.5 meters long and 13 meters wide (74 feet by 43 feet), Hishammuddin Hussein announced. He told reporters he'd just gotten the information, and China will release more details in the "coming hours."

China later said the satellite images showing the "suspected floating object" were captured four days ago, on March 18.

The floating object was about 77 miles from where earlier satellite images spotted floating debris. http://www.cnn.com/2014/03/22/world/asia/malaysia-airlines-plane/index

I hear CNN is having its best ratings in years. At least FOX didn't waste precious air time suggesting that FLT 370 was sucked into a black hole. Like CNN did.

If this debris they hope to find turns out to be from #370 ... then what?
It will have floated hundreds of miles from the crash site. They will attempt
to determine which current it rode & how fast ... backtracking?

I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.


This is my first foray into this thread, and at some point I'm going to read the previous posts but... at first I was mildly interested. "Disappear??" How can a plane just disappear? Crash, maybe. Fall out of radar sight, maybe.

But the longer this goes on, with nobody claiming responsibility, and nobody claiming they have a planeload of hostages, it's clear that however the disappearance was initiated- by now everybody is dead.

Time to call off the search. We can use that $$$ for other things.

The FACT is that they wasted time even talking about black holes, specifically, instead of doing what any reasonable journalist would have done, and dismissed such talk, out of hand.

But no, not CNN. They decided to msnbc it up for a change and get really frelling nuts.

And merely pionting that out has 1kiki rushing to CNN's defense, least anyone DARE get the idea that FOX is at least acting like the adults in the room when reporting this event.

Which, they are.

Time to call off the search. We can use that $$$ for other things.



No one we know of has claimed responsibility.

I see a few scenarios here...

1 - the pilot decided to kill himself, after his family left him and after his favorite political figure was tossed in jail. Reason for living gone, and all that. 'He'll show them!'

2 - There was some sort of 'event' , malfunction of an electrical nature, that had a 1 in a billion type of cascade effect on various electrical systems.

3 - Terrorism.
a) They crashed the plane and sent everyone to Allah-land
b) No one is claiming they did it, because they're planning on using the plane for something else.

CNN's Don Lemon actually had a psychic on his show this week. He asked her if she was picking up any vibes or premonitions from the plane. Next week he'll be interviewing Tonya Harding, Maureen McCormick, and Cousin Itt for their special insights into the disappearance.

Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.


Right after O’Reilly signed off, his Fox News colleagues committed exactly the sins he was complaining about. Megyn Kelly at 9 p.m. and Sean Hannity at 10 p.m. spent a near-solid two hours on the missing plane, their programs full of sound and fury. Hannity gave almost eight minutes of airtime to a retired Air Force general who claimed that there’s a good chance the plane is hidden in Pakistan. It’s a conspiracy theory violently at odds with prevailing reports based on U.S. government and other official sources that reconnaissance teams are searching for wreckage in the southern Indian Ocean.

“My concern is, if this airplane could be used as a bearer of a weapon of mass destruction or even conventional munitions that could attack a carrier, the Israelis, other allies, American Forces, for instance,” Lt. General Thomas McInerney told Hannity, while coyly refusing to shed light on his sources of information. “If the Pakistani government doesn’t talk soon, they’re going to be complicit in this.” Afterward one of Hannity’s missing plane “experts,” conservative columnist Deroy Murdock, a polemicist not known for his aeronautical proficiency, praised the grim-faced, silver-haired general as a credible “grownup.”



Fox News host Geraldo Rivera entered the No Spin Zone with his theory of what happened to the missing Malaysia Airlines jet. "A fully loaded Boeing 777 took off on a hot tropical night," he surmised, "and there was a smoldering fire in a tire. After the pilots reached cruising altitude, that smoldering tire led to a fire in the cockpit. So what does the pilot do? He turns to the closest airfield at Langkawi, an island that has a 13,000 food landing strip. But they are overcome by smoke inhalation, they die, and the plane keeps flying until it runs out of fuel." Exasperated by Rivera's smoke, The Factor insisted that the pilots would have used their still-functioning radio to report a fire in the cockpit.



World seems transfixed by 777 disappearance. Maybe no crash but stolen, effectively hidden, perhaps in Northern Pakistan, like Bin Laden.




MICHAEL OREN, FORMER ISRAELI AMBASSADOR TO THE UNITED STATES: Foreign
aircraft approaching Israel`s shores will have to identify themselves far
earlier than has previously been the case.

BILL WEIR, CNN ANCHOR: So IDF thinks it`s a possibility this that
plane is being weaponized somewhere?

OREN: Well, they can`t rule out that possibility. They can`t rule
out that possibility, and they have to take every possible measure to
protect the country in case this air jet -- airliner has been hijacked, and
in case it could be aimed at the state of Israel.

There's no disputing the facts here hon. You and I BOTH acknowledge they delved into the loopy , goofy side of this story. 'Mystified' ? Yeah. Black holes and psychics ?

This really does bug the living hell out of you, doesn't it ?

I'm amused at how bent out of shape you are that I'm calling CNN out on their amateurish reach for the low hanging fruit, just to get higher ratings.

Guess I must have struck a nerve.

You're right, it was a very interesting article. If it holds up. Sometimes the simplest explanation is the best.

The Latest: 1 a.m. East Coast Time (New York)


PERTH, Australia (AP) — A Chinese plane crew spotted a white, square-shaped object in an area identified by satellite imagery as containing possible debris from the missing Malaysian airliner, China's media said Monday, while the United States prepared to move a specialized device that can locate black boxes into the region.


The crew aboard an IL-76 plane sighted the object in the southern Indian Ocean search area on Monday and reported the coordinates to the Australian command center, which is coordinating the multinational search, as well as the Chinese icebreaker Snow Dragon, which is en route to the area, Xinhua News Agency reported.

No further details were immediately given. Satellite images from Australia and China had earlier identified possible debris in the area that may be linked to the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 on March 8 with 239 people aboard.

The U.S. Pacific command said it was sending a black box locator in case a debris field is located. The Towed Pinger Locator, which is pulled behind a vessel at slow speeds, has highly sensitive listening capability so that if the wreck site is located, it can hear the black box pinger down to a depth of about 20,000 feet (6,100 meters), Cmdr. Chris Budde, a U.S. Seventh Fleet operations officer, said in a statement.

"This movement is simply a prudent effort to preposition equipment and trained personnel closer to the search area so that if debris is found we will be able to respond as quickly as possible since the battery life of the black box's pinger is limited," Budde said.

There was no sign the move was because of any break in the mystery of the plane that went missing March 8 with 239 people on board, but rather as a preparation.

The Chinese plane was one of two Ilyushins that joined the search Monday from Perth, increasing the number of aircraft to 10 from eight a day earlier.

The Australian Maritime Safety Authority's rescue coordination center said the weather in the area, about 2,500 kilometers (1,550 miles) southwest of Perth, was expected to deteriorate with rain likely.

Australian Transport Minister Warren Truss said "nothing of note" was found Sunday, which he described as a "fruitless day."

"It's going to be a challenge, but we'll stick at it," he told Australian Broadcasting Corp. radio before the first aircraft left Perth at dawn. "We're just, I guess, clutching at whatever little piece of information comes along to try and find a place where we might be able to concentrate the efforts."

A cyclone bearing down on the Australian northwest coast "could stir up less favorable weather," he said.

Flight 370 while en route from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to Beijing, setting off a multinational search that has turned up no confirmed pieces and nothing conclusive on what happened to the jet.

The latest French satellite data came to light on Sunday as Australian authorities coordinating the search sent planes and a ship to try to locate a wooden pallet that appeared to be surrounded by straps of different lengths and colors.

The French data came after Australian and Chinese satellites earlier identified suspect objects.

The pallet was spotted on Saturday from a search plane, but the spotters were unable to take photos of it.

Wooden pallets are most commonly used by ships but are also used airplane cargo holds, and an official with Malaysia Airlines said Sunday night that the flight was, in fact, carrying wooden pallets. The official spoke on condition of anonymity in keeping with company policy.

In Paris, French Foreign Ministry spokesman Romain Nadal said in an interview with The Associated Press that the satellite radar echoes "identified some debris that could be from the Malaysian Airlines plane."

The spokesman said that these echoes "are not images with a definition like a photograph, but they do allow us to identify the nature of an object and to localize it."

Gathering satellite echo data involves sending a beam of energy to the Earth and then analyzing it when it bounces back, according to Joseph Bermudez Jr., chief analytics officer at AllSource Analysis, a commercial satellite intelligence firm.

Satellite radar echoes can be converted into an image that would look similar to a black-and-white photo, though not as clear, he said. "You'd have to know what you're looking at," Bermudez said.

A Malaysian official involved in the search said the French data located objects about 930 kilometers (575 miles) north of the spots where the objects in the images released by Australia and China were located.

One of the objects located was estimated to be about the same size as an object captured Tuesday by the Chinese satellite that appeared to be 22 meters (72 feet) by 13 meters (43 feet), said the official, who declined to be identified because he wasn't authorized to speak to the media.

U.S. underwater wreck hunter David Mearns on Monday described the French satellite sighting of potential debris as a "positive development," although he was unaware of the full details.

Mearns was an adviser to British and French search authorities following the loss of Air France Flight 447 in the Atlantic Ocean during a flight from Brazil to Paris in 2009.

He warned that time was running out to find confirmed wreckage that could lead searchers back to the aircraft's black box.

The southern Indian Ocean is thought to be a potential area to find the jet because Malaysian authorities have said pings sent by the Boeing 777-200 for several hours after it disappeared indicated that the plane ended up in one of two huge arcs: a northern corridor stretching from Malaysia to Central Asia, or a southern corridor that stretches toward Antarctica.

Malaysian authorities have not ruled out any possible explanation for what happened to the jet, but have said the evidence so far suggests it was deliberately turned back across Malaysia to the Strait of Malacca, with its communications systems disabled. They are unsure what happened next.

Authorities are considering the possibilities of hijacking, sabotage, terrorism or issues related to the mental health of the pilots or someone else on board.

Funny how no one has mentioned the international effort to find the plane, with China, the U.S. and Australia leading the way. Humans can, at times, act civilly.
