Thread: Air Malaysia missing.

It is strange the military took so long to give this information, are they hiding something, the new search area is no where near where the plane should have been in the first place.

Maybe shot down by a rouge missile?

And why did MAS take five hours to realise one of there plans was missing?

You lot are as bad as the media..

No, Tombie, I disagree.
They are as bad as a TV current affairs program thinking a poorly written TV drama series is real.

Sent from my GT-P5210 using AULRO mobile app

I think this answers these...

Here's another example.
I sign into facebook on my phone, and I don't sign out. I leave my phone on.
I go to bed. Next morning, SWMBO is ****ty with me asking why I was on facebook at 4am.
I wasn't. My phone was still signed in, so it displays me as being online.
Hall hit the nail on the head.
If multiple passengers social media accounts are still being displayed as active or online, that suggests that whatever mobile device they're logged in on is still not only intact but functioning.
Doesn't mean that anyone is alive, or that they're just chilling on social media like it's all a big game, or that it's a myth.
It simply means the last device they logged in on is still operational.
Which suggests that it either wasn't a totally catastrophic impact, or they're not Jules Verne

A possible terrorist attack using either surface-to-air or air-to-air missile, or cockpit invasion and hi-jack

That's my thoughts.

No.

From what platform would a terrorist launch a AAM ?


SAM - well at what altitude was the aircraft last reported at. I suspect higher than the typical outdated SAM they'd be likely to have, but not impossible.

Terrorism maybe not.
Could have unwittingly wandered into a military exercise?
