— Ace Which would have major implications.
Four hours of flight time would mean it could be anywhere in a circle with a diameter of 2,200 nautical miles. It could be in India; it could be in Mongolia; it could be in Japan; it could be in Australia. And of course all the thousands of square miles of ocean around.
But it's more than that: Because pilots don't just shut off their transponders and stop all communications without a reason for doing so.
U.S. investigators suspect that Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 stayed in the air for about four hours past the time it reached its last confirmed location, according to two people familiar with the details, raising the possibility that the plane could have flown on for hundreds of additional miles under conditions that remain murky.Aviation investigators and national security officials believe the plane flew for a total of five hours, based on data automatically downloaded and sent to the ground from the Boeing Co. BA engines as part of a routine maintenance and monitoring program.
So, while the plane's transponders and radio were off, its engines were still sending out data to satellites. At least according to the WSJ's sources. And the engines sent out data for four hours past the plane's disappearance.
Which leads to this possibility:
U.S. counterterrorism officials are pursuing the possibility that a pilot or someone else on board the plane may have diverted it toward an undisclosed location after intentionally turning off the jetliner's transponders to avoid radar detection, according to one person tracking the probe.
Terrorism or some kind of skyjacking is not ruled out.
At Hot Air, Malaysian officials dispute these claims, and China is criticizing them on their response to the whole matter.
Via Nidermeyer's Dead Horse... An NPR interview with the WSJ reporter who wrote this story.
He says the new theory being explored is that the plane either landed, or crashed at some later point en route to a planned landing place. (Actually he doesn't clearly say that last "or" clause but it's implied by what he does say.)

If it was hijacked, or the pilot turned terrorist, and I was Malaysia - I would shoot it down before it was flown to a city to kill more people than those on board.
I would also misdirect the searchers.

One thing I do sorta think is this: that national authorities know more about what happened than what we are being told about. And there is some reason, legitimate or illegitimate, that they are keeping it from us.

That ship sailed when they failed to cross-check passports for authenticity. What century of air safety are they living in? September 11th ringing an bells guys?
It appears the transponder was deliberately shut off. The only way they could keep flying that long without panicking people, who would immediately pick up their cell phones, would be controlled flight. Then probably a deliberate flight into terrain that was catastrophic which was most likely preceded by a shout of Aloha Snack-bar!.

There's not a lot of radar stations out in the ocean. So if it flew back over Malaysia and into the Indian ocean, it's possible that the Malaysian radar stations were the only ones to see it.

That's just it. We DON'T know that. That's why this is so frustrating. Is it incredibly likely that they're all dead? Yes. But until there's some proof -- wreckage, bodies, SOMETHING -- there's still that hope that maybe they're out there somewhere, being held captive but still alive, waiting for rescue. It's every child abduction and missing person case writ large: "They're probably dead, but maybe they aren't."
Hope is a wonderful thing, but it's also terribly painful.

However, if the plane flew over land with cell coverage, there's some chance a phone left in normal cell communication mode might have communicated with a cell tower along the route (and left a trace in the cell tower's electronic logs).

The 777 is probably the greatest civilian jetliner of this generation. Boeing has a huge interest in publicly pointing out that this wasn't mechanical failure.
Another note: The data that the engines put out also sends a signal indicating how they stopped ('shut down', 'stopped' [crash] or 'failed').
I'm interested in knowing how the engines stopped.

I don't know about that.
Let's say the transponder was shut off for some reason. W hat reason? We don't know. But for the sake of argument let's say it was.
Let's also say that there's something wrong with the plane's communication equipment. Maybe the radio's dead and they can't receive or transmit messages.
Some military vessel -- probably Chinese given the area -- detects a large, unidentified plane and requests it identify itself. No response. No transponder signal to identify if it's commercial or military. Still no radio response. They fire at it , then realize their mistake after the fact.

I can't see how a plane gets hijacked and flown to a remote location where a bunch of terrorists retro-fit it to become a flying bomb. Sounds great for a Die Hard script, but not so plausible in real life.
About the only scenario that seems plausible at this point is a crack in the hull led to hypoxia. Maybe the crew only had time to try to turn around and try to get it to a lower altitude and that's it before they became unconcious. The autopilot just kept the plane going until it went down.

Yes, but there are things called "clusterfucks" that tend to happen on occasion. These are things that happen when someone does something unbelievably stupid that elicits vast negative consequences.
I rule out absolutely nothing, especially not in a region of the world that is currently bubbling over with nationalistic sentiment , with a China that has been rattling its sabers for years and that just suffered a violent Uighur terrorist attack of its own.

The USAF have recently flown B-52s, large planes by anyone's measure, through areas of the South China Sea which the US claims as international airspace and which China says is theirs.
The Chinese were made well aware of this.
In that context, I strongly doubt the Chinese military would engage a large unknown. Unless in their own actual airspace, and probably not even then. Too much risk of provoking a confrontation if they were to down an American jet.
The Chinese have a pretty good understanding of the old principle that one does not interrupt an adversary while that adversary is making a mistake.
Right now, the Obama administration is shrinking American military muscle and is alienating or fostering doubt in American allies all over the world. Those things play to China's long run steady strategic push. They would not want to upset that dynamic with a rash tactical option based on incomplete info.

It sends data but nothing having to do with the plane's location? So let me get this straight, many of the engine components can send data back to the ground, yet there is nothing on board that sends it's location in real time?

I don't know about every cell system, but I do know that if any of our phones are off the network (Shut off, dead reception area,etc) the person calling will notice the ringing roll immediately to an automated voice mail, or recorded"The party you are calling is not available" type message.

True. It would be far, far, far, far easier to just buy or lease a cargo plane and pack it full of explosives than hijack and redirect a passenger 777 in mid-flight, land it, reconfigure the interior, pack it with explosives, refuel it, and then launch an attack.

Why in the holy hell does the pilot have a switch "Transponder" in the first place?
Shouldn't it be like daytime running lights -> always on when the engines are on. (Or, wheels off the ground, or 'wheels -up-') Whatever makes sense. But not something where there's an actual -off- switch of any sort. (Other than 'fire axe to the wire', which is obviously a completely different problem.)

U.S. investigators suspect Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 flew for hours past the time it reached its last confirmed location, based on an analysis of signals sent through the plane's satellite-communication link designed to automatically transmit the status of onboard systems, according to people familiar with the matter. An earlier version of this article incorrectly said investigators based their suspicions on signals from monitoring systems embedded in the plane's Rolls-Royce PLC engines and described that process.

First, why hijack a plane that was going on a flight of this length? If they wanted to fly the plane into a high-visibility target in Kuala Lumpur, why would they wait so long after takeoff to do anything about it? Why wouldn't they hijack a flight that was staying closer to home? The 9/11 hijackers didn't hijack flights inbound from London; they hijacked flights out of Boston.
And if these were foreign nationals hijacking the plane -- Chinese or what have you -- why hijack a Malaysian airliner? It's not like other countries don't have major airports, too. It would be quicker to hijack a plane in Turkey to get it to Iran, or in India to get it to Pakistan, or Japan to get it to China. So why make your life harder than it already is?

STENDEC
Late 1940's disappearance of a BOAC airliner in the Andes. Last known transmission was "STENDEC" before all contact lost. Searchers turned up nothing for years. The plane simply vanished with a few dozen (?) people on board.
UFO abduction was the reason for a series of magazines (ala LOST).
Late 90's hikers came across wreckage and body parts. It was the lost airplane, apparently before we knew as much as we do now about jet-streams, the pilots were WAY off course and crashed into a vast snow field which then entombed the plane. Only until the glacier melted and gave up the evidence did we know.
One wouldn't think this could happen but obviously it did. We're just not the masters of our universe we sometimes think we are.

You're assuming that the crew knew they were about to enter an oxygen-free zone and needed to hold their breaths.

"Why in the holy hell does the pilot have a switch "Transponder" in the first place?"
-
Transponders are regularly changed by the pilots. They transmit a 4 digit number to ID on radar, and this number will change based on the ATC being communicated with. The pilots make these changes.

What are the chances that the suspected maneuvers were carried out intentionally, and very slowly, so as not to alert the passengers? MA370 then flew west, across the narrowest part of the Malay peninsula, cleared any radars, then headed southeast to a point on Sumatra.
Sumatra has more than a few Islamic radicals, and plenty of unobstructed, uninhabited and available flat space, at least on the western side.

No, it's just an on/off switch on it. In most cases the avionics/radios are wired on a separate buss then the rest of the electrical so I'm sure something probable tripped the entire avionics buss circuit breaker, or they inadvertently shut off all the avionics or for some other reason it lost all avionics buss power. I don't think anyone physically just shut off the transponder.

You know, a mark against the 'stolen/hijacked' theory is this:
It would have to land somewhere. In a country. Which would have to allow it to land.
If that aircraft was later used for terror, there's a clear-cut, no-shit state-sponsor directly involved. I don't think too many states are willing to operate that openly.
Of course, they've got a three-year free-fire zone set up, so maybe...

The transponder wasn't meant to be tracking devise for every airplane at all times. It's main purpose is to track the aircraft under enroute IFR and monitor separation in controlled airspace near the airport. If all aircraft were squawking at all times in would be to much for conrollers at center or in the tower to keep track off, the screen would be lit up like Christmas.

And it's a transmitter so, off switch.
And it's a piece of electronics so, off switch.
And it could break and start smoking so, off switch.
etc... so, off switch.

Late to thread.....
let me add to the tin foil....
Iranians now control this plane and has been squirrelled away on a remote south Pacific island. Raw Plutonium or a Nuke is placed aboard. All crew and passengers are killed.
A flight to LA is chosen at a later date. That flight will be hijacked and splashed in the middle of nowhere while the current missing plane with its payload will assume the flight plan of the newly downed plane. Transponders have been reprogrammed to mimic that flight and the plane unsuspectingly enters LA airspace and..... well..... you all can finish the story. BOOM.

I originally thought the co-pilot would be the rogue, since he was younger, but having read that he was just transitioning to 777s, I vote for the pilot being the rogue , with help from (Iranian) conspirators in the cabin to keep the passengers in line. It just strikes me as damned odd that this guy had his own simulator, a very expensive piece of equipment. Was he spending his off-time figuring drag and fuel consumption at low altitude? Did he wait to do this until he had a completely inexperienced 777 pilot in the other seat?

Yeah, Fenelon...this has got to be pure hell for the relatives of the passengers and crew.
The 'not knowing' is worse than knowing.
Because you have that little bit of hope to cling to, keeping you from starting to deal with the grief.
Sorry you had to go through that.

Just last night at church a woman was telling us about a friend who's 18 year old daughter just disappeared yesterday. She took 3 items (clothing I think but I didn't hear that part) but left her cell phone on the bed. They think she ran away but don't know for sure.
Also, I think often about Michelle Malkin's cousin (or was it neice) who disappeared a couple of years ago. That must be very hard to deal with.

Perhaps the simulator was for training others.

It is pretty wild that Morons probably know more than the "experts." The Maylasian people seem to be running around in circles, as plane has been in several seas and gone west now east. Big things in ocean seen on Chinese radar are "nothing" just big things.
