'Contact lost' with Malaysia Airlines plane
- Thread starter Domo
- Start date
u wot m8? women are allowed to fly planes? i never knew this and will want to be informed in future what gender my pilot is because there is no way in hell i am being flown by a women, a woman's natural habitat is a kitchen not a cockpit that is like a fish out of water, how is this even legal
Is this even a joke?
Because its by far the fastest and safest way to travel even with these minor inconveniences.
Google sarcasm, if you can't see it it's hidden between the 1st and last letters of his post :/
The list of "somewheres" must be pretty limited, a 777 needs up to a mile of almost perfectly flat hard surface to land on. I can't imagine that many of those places, in that area, are totally hidden from public view. In fact I can't imagine there are more than a handful of such places in that area in total.

I see on the Pattaya News that a travel agency in Pattaya has been raided by cops in relation to the 2 tickets bought with the stolen passports.

By no stretch of the imagination could that assumption be called 'reasonable'.

The Brazilian plane incident took IIRC 5 days to find?
The Atlantic ocean is considerably larger than the south China sea
So you're saying it's unreasonable that a plane, assumed crashed but with no visual signs of wreckage in a small stretch of ocean (comparatively speaking) has been taken hostage and landed somewhere. That then leaves the only other reasonable assumption, being, vanished....

Something doesn't seem right with all this.
No debris found. Nothing on the Spy Satellites to show an explosion. Nothing on the seismic/tsunami monitors showing an impact with the seabed. All radio transmissions just cease, no transponders whilst descending, no distress call, no automatic error messages, etc. Two passengers on stolen passports. One Chinese passenger's name redacted. Another dodgy passenger I can't remember the details of. Five passengers didn't make the flight and had their checked-in luggage removed (but it only departed five minutes late!).

It took about 24 hours.
It's 3.5 million sq km so it could take a while.
hes not silly really. alt of pilots are poorly paid and do not go through as much training as they should be getting as many hours flying as they should.
ive watched a doc about pilots where both have fell asleep and theyve ended up miles off course. a lot of the plane flying these days is automatic. pilots dont even land the plane its done automatically so when it comes a time that they have to, they will struggle. it basically stated that gone are the times where theyre real pilots. taking away the risk of human error puts in a risk of inexperience, and lack of attention span

That's just crap tbh. The vast majority of landings are carried out manually.

Now being reported that it's not a life raft from flight.

is there anyway you could scramble a plane signal?
