Malaysia Airlines: A mysterious and powerful new force is at work...

[Dakine10 5,452]

I was just thinking the other day how the Bermuda Triangle had been quiet as of late. We need something like this to keep us on the edge of our seats.

I was thinking about that today today. Seems like there used to be a movie or documentary about that every week back when I was a kid. I remember hearing once that there was 8 of those triangles around the globe. They say planes can't just dissapear but historically they have. It's a big ocean out there when the don't have much navigational data to go on.

Unless they find debris, then it's possible aliens or arajit plucked the plane from the sky. If it exploded in flight, then debris WILL be found, unless of course it landed somewhere. Do not underestimate a couple of corrupt people monitoring radar. It took them a helluva long time to report this plane as missing.

I was going to say, your highjacking theory only works if there are more people complicit in all this, including someone on the crew. Someone had to disable all of the telemetry and automated warning systems.

Historically highjackers have some kind of plan or scenario in mind. Assuming they could land a plane of this size somewhere, then what. No demands? What happens to the passengers? That kind of scenario couldn't drag on very long.

The crew may not have sent any messages, but the automated flight monitoring systems sent a number of messages via the ACARS system back to Air France maintenance depot, identifying conflicting flight data. On this flight, there was nothing.

So? The air France plane sent warnings for a few minutes when sensors were getting conflicting and dangerous readings.. The plane took several minutes to die but was fully functional until it hit the water. This plane died in a differently way - maybe it blew up without warning - why draw a conclusion that its a super weapon or aliens? They will find the black boxes and pieces eventually and we will know what happened.

The main point is that not finding any evidence of the plane for three days is not "unprecedented" or cause for starting up koo-koo theories.

A bomb maybe.. Terrorists maybe.. An unseen crack in the structure that failed suddenly.. a spark in the fuel tank..

I remember several years ago that an aircraft of one Indonesian airlines, went missing. They could not find the wreckage of the plane for a while even after an extensive of searching and involved many countries. They finally found it a week after the disaster. It was Adam Air Flight 574. This Malaysian airlines story is similar to that.

I think it will turn out like that in this case too. Some reports say the plane turned around, others say they lost contact for an hour before the plane went missing. I think they just dont have enough information to determine where the plane really was. The search will keep expanding until they find it.

When TWA800 exploded in mid air over the ocean in 1996 from a short circuit in a fuel tank (which by the way gave no sensors reading until the explosion) the explosion actually just sheared off the front 20% of the plane - the rest kept flying for a short while making erratic turns until finally breaking apart.

Yeah, I still think breakup or explosion at high altitude is the most likely scenario. The TWA800 was at a lower altitude and was close enought to be witnessed by people on the ground. I think the biggest factor in the Malaysian airlines case is that they don't have a good idea where the plane was or even what direction it was going at the time. At cruising speed, if you don't know what direction the plane is flying, every few minutes can widen the search area by a hundred miles in any direction.

They are also searching the straits of Malacca. That's pretty far west. Even if the plane turned back, that's way off course. I wonder if they know something.

Missing plane: Search widens to Malaysia west coast

Chinese relatives of passengers tell the BBC they are holding on to hope

MH370 mystery

Authorities searching for the missing Malaysia Airlines plane have widened their search, with the west coast of Malaysia now "the focus" of the hunt.

The airline said in a statement it was looking at the possibility that the plane tried to return to an airport at Subang, near the capital, Kuala Lumpur.

But the statement stressed officials were looking at all possibilities.

Beijing-bound flight MH370 vanished on Saturday shortly after it left Kuala Lumpur. There were 239 people on board.

In a statement, Malaysia Airlines said: "The search and rescue teams have expanded the scope beyond the flight path. The focus now is on the West Peninsular of Malaysia at the Straits of Malacca.

"The authorities are looking at a possibility of an attempt made by MH370 to turn back to Subang... Apart from the search in the sea, search on land in between these areas is also conducted."

Rescue teams from several countries are scouring the seas for signs of the plane.

Malaysian authorities said on Monday they were expanding the search area from 50 nautical miles from where the plane had disappeared - over waters between Malaysia and Vietnam - to 100 nautical miles (115 miles; 185km).

Yo Teddy -- have you heard of the Bridgewater Triangle? It's a thing.

Never heard of it til now. I just read up on it, that's some pretty crazy stuff. It's no wonder everyone says stay away from the south shore. Here's a little bit from Wiki.

The Bridgewater Triangle refers to an area of about 200 square miles (520 km²) within southeastern Massachusetts in the United States,^[1] claimed to be a site of alleged paranormal phenomena, ranging from UFOs to poltergeists and orbs, balls of fire and other spectral phenomena, various "bigfoot" sightings, giant snakes and "thunderbirds", as well as the mutilation of cattle and other livestock.

Bigfoot sightings: There have been several reported sightings of a bigfoot-like creature in the triangle, usually near the Hockomock swamp. Joseph DeAndrade claimed to see a half man and half ape creature entering the woods near the swamp in 1978. Local resident John Baker also reported seeing a large hairy beast in a river in the swamp while canoeing.

That wasn't a Bigfoot, that was Spooky after a night of drinking and partying. It was the 70's after all.

I was thinking about that today today. Seems like there used to be a movie or documentary about that every week back when I was a kid. I remember hearing once that there was 8 of those triangles around the globe. They say planes can't just dissapear but historically they have. It's a big ocean out there when the don't have much navigational data to go on.

Yep, there were shows on all the time about the Bermuda Triangle. It was a big deal when we were young. I remember people not wanting to fly from Boston to Florida unless they could get a flight that stayed over land and not one that flew into or near the triangle. As we get more technologically advanced, the fear levels of the paranormal tend to lessen.

I'm voting that it was AraJit-plucking; he's been busy there in New Jersey and has taken over an abandoned warehouse as his research center.
