I promise, there are FAR more than two things contradicting here.
Trying to get actual facts in this is near impossible. :scared:
It's entirely possible that the fake passports have nothing to do with it.
It is apparently quite common to fly with fake passports over there.
I am going to bed, I will just have to check this when I wake up in 4 hours. :banghead:
OK, so two things seem to be in contradiction. One, the leaked reports that the plane did not go down from an explosion. And two, reports indicating that there were possibly two impostors/terrorists aboard.
So how would two passengers bring down a plane without a bomb? Maybe by entering the cockpit and taking over the controls?
If they were turning back, wouldn't the pilot be communicating with air traffic control, and discussing the problems? This seems so very odd. Mumbling and static---that is very troublesome.
Yes, and by disabling the pilots. But I thought there was a locked cockpit policy since 9/11 ?
'Signals from the Malaysia Airlines plane that has been missing for more than 24 hours has turned back on the Radar, Malaysian officials have said.'
Could this be the Black Box signal ?

Hi Derryn
What do you think of the likelihood of the the Plane being accidentally shot down?
Would this fit with how information is coming out and being presented?
Cheers
Yeah, there's loads of these kinds of rumours 'out there'
Could there be anything in them IYO ?

Highly unlikely. If a surface to air missile launch were to occur anywhere within that area it would be identified immediately in detail. There are no countries that have/had any reason to launch any missile that would have been capable of accurately hitting an airliner at that altitude.
Shoulder launched SAM's that would likely be in grasp of a potential terrorist on the ground are simply not capable of anything near the altitude or accuracy that this would require (hitting an airliner from the ground, at night at 37,000ft doing .83 Mach is harder than u think)
North Korea not even on the same map... the only wildcard wold be a TWA800 scenario with a friendly fire from an allied warship - but there is ABSOLOUTEY ZERO evidence or suggestion of that even being a scenario here... so ... short verion - NO![]()

I'm not so much referring to rumours more so the little that seems to be known particularly in this day and age with regards to technology.
It just seems incredibly odd to me and rather 'telling' to my suspicious mind!
Thanks. I was wondering about Vietnam's air defenses. I'm ASSuming they're probably not up to Western standards re: IFF, and, as pointed out earlier, the shoot-down of civilian passenger jets is not unheard-of.
