Thread: Air Malaysia missing.

Gotta feel very sorry for the relatives and friends. Just terrible.
Hopefully now they will give up hope and accept the loss, so they can go through the grieving process.

That's a long long way from where the aircraft was supposed to be. A hijacker would have had aircraft flown somewhere or crashed soon after takeover
In this case its a good bet the aircrew were involved but perhaps it didn't end exactly as they had planned.

Would it have been possible that there was a catastrophic event with the aircraft's systems and, after they gained control, they had no idea where they were heading and kept going in the hope they saw some land suitable to land?

Geez Mick, you'd think they'd have a compass on the dash, even my Disco has.

Or ~250 cellphones on board with GPS capability.

I still believe that there was a fire or some problem which they turned around for to try and land, but everyone passed out and the plane just kept on going on the auto pilot until it ran out of fuel. More than likely everyone on board wasalready dead hours before it ran out of fuel.


Would not be the first time. Same thing happens to that American golfer.

Pure speculation but I agree that all onboard were dead early in the piece.

It would take nerves of steel for a sabuteur to fly for 6 hours after the initial diversion was done? Would be much easier to suicide themself and the passengers by decompressing the cabin after setting the autopilot to a southery course. Also, if the passengers got wind of a diversion, there would be mutiny onboard if they thought the cockpit was taking them to their deaths.

An accident could cause the same scenario above, either way I hope the crew and passengers died early and painlessly.

RIP.
