Why do the two Iranians have the same exact legs?

I first read this on my phone, I was thinking wtf is this rtard talking about? He's never heard of two people traveling together before? I thought you were talking about the travel segments, not their actual legs.

Sorry for judging you in my mind.

Hmm. Maybe a sh|tty copier?

I refuse to believe that anyone would try to foist that and have no one pick it up.

True, maybe instead of printing multiple copies, they printed one of each, then, realizing they need more copies, they sent someone to the copy machine who clearly does not know how to use a copier. Plausible.

But, this would have required cutting the first picture, and cutting it in a way that it would almost exactly map onto the torso of the second picture. Less plausible.

It's the first time I've thought something fishy might be occurring around this flight. Of course, I was also having multiple drinks at dinner. So, who knows.

So that means the ACARS lost all power/stopped transmitting before it determined anything was wrong?

I don't have any working knowledge on ACARS other than knowing the system relays problems with aircraft in real time to engineers.

If there is no report or reported nominal and then nothing at all it would seem to indicate catastrophic power failure or disabling (if even possible).

Eh, they tried, but they've got no dog in the fight either.

I take it there must be firm evidence that the plane veered in another direction, because Vietnam is the second closest country to the last known position.

Like someone said earlier, this is a horrible thing to happen but it's also fascinating. Will be very interested to see what we find out over the next few days as this thing hopefully gets pieced together.

Something definitely seems amiss.

OReilly had a segment on the missing plane tonight. He had some FAA aviation expert on that basically said the ACARS and the transponder would have had to be turned off by humans, that there is multiple back ups in place for those systems. Both agreed that there is probably more to the story than what the Malaysian military is letting known.

It definatly has my curiosity.

The amount of searching to the west of the peninsula would seem to indicate that they're reasonably sure it was heading that way.

I don't really see a reason why they'd withhold radar hits on the aircraft, but they're also really not important to those of us simply consuming media reports.

A international pilot just stated that they may never find the plane. He said " With the last place it was tracked it had 5 hours of fuel left. That's 5 hours out too see." Also stated that a Vietnam base was in contact with the 777 for 10 seconds and heard murmuring.

Could that tape be amplified to try and make out words?

I'd think that it'd be found eventually, The FDR will emit a ping for along time. I'll bet the Navy has underwater microphones that can hear whale fart at 500 miles.

Another theory... this thing got jacked and is setting on some island on a long forgotten WWII jungle runway that's been reopened by who knows who!

Anything is plausible at this point. I feel bad for the families. The Malaysia govterment Is to blame right now.

I think there's only been a couple instances in the last 40 years where a large missing plane was not found. Neither were passenger planes.

Meanwhile,

'Good night' - last known words of missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 | NDTV.com

As confusion deepens over the search area and whether Malaysian military radar tracked the aircraft, he [Kuala Lumpur's ambassador to Beijing] said "now is not the time" to reveal what information the military had supplied civilian authorities.

No offense man, but what good does assigning blame at this point accomplish?

I suppose it's just human nature to want to have someone or something to point at for fault.

Maybe Mav is right and it was hijacked and heading back towards the mainland to do some damage, so Malaysia took it out and isn't saying anything yet due to the fear of reprisals from China?

Here's a conspiracy theory

What if there were more than 2 fake/stolen passports? Say 12-15 of them?

No, not unless your a charter pilot for Justin Beiber and he's blazing it up with dad in the back.

Now this is from the FAA but I am under the impression that commercial flight standards are universal around the globe.

Sec. 135.89 Pilot requirements: Use of Oxygen.
(a) Unpressurized aircraft. Each pilot of an unpressurized aircraft shall use oxygen
continuously when flying—
(1) At altitudes above 10,000 feet through 12,000 feet MSL for that part of the flight at
those altitudes that is of more than 30 minutes duration; and
(2) Above 12,000 feet MSL.
(b) Pressurized aircraft. (1) Whenever a pressurized aircraft is operated with the cabin
pressure altitude more than 10,000 feet MSL, each pilot shall comply with paragraph (a) of
this section.
(2) Whenever a pressurized aircraft is operated at altitudes above 25,000 feet through 35,000
feet MSL, unless each pilot has an approved quick-donning type oxygen mask–
(i) At least one pilot at the controls shall wear, secured and sealed, an oxygen mask that
either supplies oxygen at all times or automatically supplies oxygen whenever the cabin
pressure altitude exceeds 12,000 feet MSL; and
(ii) During that flight, each other pilot on flight deck duty shall have an oxygen mask,
connected to an oxygen supply, located so as to allow immediate placing of the mask on the
pilot’s face sealed and secured for use.
(3) Whenever a pressurized aircraft is operated at altitudes above 35,000 feet MSL, at
least one pilot at the controls shall wear, secured and sealed, an oxygen mask required

Fairly standard I believe.
