re: Lost plane ~ MH370
out of the hundreds of thousands of bits that make a plane this will have to be another piece of kit like the black{orange} box that will have to be installed yet another thing we learn by mistakes it is a mystery how nobody in this day and age you can loose a passenger aircraft anywhere in the world?jp

re: Lost plane ~ MH370
Latest seems to be it was hi-jacked by the pilot and is now believed to be somewhere on the ground. 25 countries involved in the search. The pilot had a full flight simulator in his home and this is now being examined to see if he has been practising a particular scenario. Search has been down scaled whilst satellite images are reviewed and the background of flight crews and maintenance engineers examined.
None of this is any comfort to the relatives of those passengers on board.

re: Lost plane ~ MH370
Having a re-think about my last post - was certainly not meant to be in poor taste, as perhaps it looks now. This is a horrible situation for the families of all those lost and I agree, hard to understand with the technology of the day how a large aircraft can simply disappear.
As to the pilot's flight simulator, the mere fact that he had one is no surprise. Lots of pilots have flight simulators at home. If the plane was hijacked and landed somewhere else, it's very difficult to imagine it landing anywhere and no one noticing. One can't just land a 777 any old place. Time will tell...
Again, apologies if earlier post offended anyone.

re: Lost plane ~ MH370
Hi Shipmates, Was the pilot on drugs? or maybe Si-FI fans had some thing to do with it? But I think it was the C.I.A black ops up to there old tricks again or ??????? The End Time ... or maybe an Accident... or a very good Hi -Jack only time will tell maybe...

I feel there are a lot of things we are not being told about this. Probably for very good reasons.

re: Lost plane ~ MH370
#10... Jacyn there was a logical explanation for the lost flight of US planes in 1948. The Bermuda Triangle so named by someone wanting it to appear mysterious, is an area like certain others in the world, of a lot of Magnetic Anomolies. It was suggested that the magnetic compasses that these planes had in those days were out and the aircraft were flying over water before they ran out of fuel. I beleive there was program some time ago where some of these aircraft have been found which gives this theory credence. Regards John S.
