It is plausible. Pilots can deviate off a flight plan and there are certainly air strips in SE Asia that someone could land in without too many people noticing.

Wouldn't it show up on radar before reaching land?

You could see they were almost giddy at the prospect when the stolen passports thing came up. Near orgasmic when there was an Iranian link.

What a letdown for them if it doesn't pan out.

You're a sad pathetic individual , making a tragedy into something political to fit your ideology. Odds are it is terrorist related although anything is possible at this point.

Yes and no. If it's out of range of radar sets, it generally won't show. Most nations don't have complete radar coverage of their borders like is portrayed and I would be surprised if Malaysia did have complete border coverage.

Actually, I think LG is right in this case. There are a couple that wanted it to be Islamic terrorism so they could point to it and say "I told you so!"

I think radical Islam is a dangerous sect, but not everything bad that happens in the world can be attributed to it like some want to claim.

He's just as guilty from the opposing side of the spectrum. He can't wait to tell VM haha you're wrong when he knows in that part of the world it's highly likely to be terrorist related. He can't have it both ways

Not all. In fact not many on that latter thing.

Although guys like VM would re-cast it as "See? Obama is wrong when he says terrorism is under control." Which of course he did not say.

But they are loathe to pass up any opportunity not to insinuate that Obama is making us weaker on terrorism.

Actually, you can admit he has consistently overstated the reduction in terrorism. By either ignoring blatant terrorist acts until it was clearly evident otherwise (Benghazi) or allowing other terrorist acts to be labeled as workplace violence (Fort Hood).

Hmm 2:

The Malaysian military says it has radar evidence showing the missing Boeing 777 jetliner changed course and made it to the Malacca Strait, hundreds of kilometers (miles) away from the last location reported by civilian authorities.
. . .
A high-ranking military official involved in the investigation confirmed the report on Tuesday and also said the aircraft was believed to be flying low.

If true, they've had this information for how long?

And further from that article:

Local newspaper Berita Harian quoted Malaysian air force chief Gen. Rodzali Daud as saying radar at a military base had detected the airliner near Pulau Perak, at the northern approach to the strait.

Pulau Perak happens to be in the Andaman Sea between Malaysia and Indonesia.

Curious.

Depends on the country. I know when I was in the Philippines the FAA guy at the Embassy told me horror stories about maintenance at different airports around the country. They don't always maintain them and may not always keep them running unless there is a flight inbound (that they know about). I friend of mine landed in Viet Nam at night and the only lights he saw were on the runway and that was at the main international airport. Not far fetched to think they could have landed somewhere without notice.

But, like I said, I think it is pretty unlikely that it happened this way. I think the most likely is the pilot veered off course for some reason, they went down in the ocean and we haven't found the plane because we don't know where to look exactly.

Um..intentionally flying low to a location way off of its charted path, with no contact or distress signals given off. Does this sound like a Chuck Norris movie plot to anyone else?

serious question btw.

You're still posting anti Hispanic hate. And you've added misogyny to your vile.
I've changed my thinking on your Graham position. You mention him so much, I beginning to think you are attracted to him.

Chuck is so old school...

I seriousness, nothing legitimate could be concluded from that sort of information. It would certainly imply a hijacking and going to a destination where the aircraft/passengers would be ransomed. But being that there have been no demands or ransoms, it's likely the plane crashed and everyone was looking in the wrong place.

Now why the Malaysians kept this a secret is another matter and would be most curious.
