Malaysia airlines plane may have crashed 239 people on board #17

I know, must have felt very real.

If they can get the black box they should be able to hear all that happening, what will be interesting is whether there was a voice as well.

It would be interesting and bring closure.
Truth is, no matter how this tragedy ended...it was horrific and at least one person suffered and was aware of what was transpiring. IMO

This patents rumour has been proven false already

I love Snopes / Hoaxslayer for this kind of stuff!

Oh brilliant, thank you! Conspiracy theories are so '90's.

 

[popsicle]

That was simply terrifying.
I am actually crying after reading that. The sirens and alarms. Ugh.

I almost didn't read that article because I thought...oh another simulator blah blah blah. SO glad I did read it because it was really a good one. imo

 

[PrairieWind]

This, the thought of someone possibly purposefully flying to 45,000 ft to incapacitate/kill people then continuing on for 7 more hours with an eerily quiet cabin, the thought that maybe they were awake/aware for the 7/8 hours leading up to whatever happened but helpless to stop it.... The fact that we can lose an entire airplane in this day and age... The whole thing has me unsettled.

Sounds more like a Stephen King novel than real life doesnt it?

That is very bad...though it may not be relevant in this case. Jmo

Haven't checked whatever link you are responding to,

Must say:

Snopes is so '90's

I am sorry, guess in my usual fashion I will get to a larger point rather than smaller.

Snopes says that "Snuff Films" are not real!!!!

Sorry, they are.

Not fabricated, not made up, just real. They always have been. I know from work, but there may even be a case or two here that are driven by $$ for snuff film.

(Maybe I missed a joke Mrs. G, didn't follow all the posts, but the CNN and Fox 24 hour clips, tell me that people really don't know, that is some crazy non-reality shiz. They can look it up though.)

I get where you are coming from Clu,

BUT

This is worldwide relevant.

Not just MH370 news. We collect many things in any crisis, and this needs to be known and rectified.

I thought Interpol was on top of things. However, Interpol may not cover certian regions.......................................................

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned but I found this to be a very neat thing! If the link I posted works it describes 15 things you can do on your iPhone and #4 is fascinating to me you simply click home button and speak "Planes overhead" and it will pop up flights in the sky over your current location and different altitudes and angles! I hope the link works! It just amazes me at the technology and the facts are still so sketchy!

It really works!
I just tried it on my phone and it gave me two planes that were overhead.
Then I went to flightaware.com to see how accurate it was, and the flights were in the area!
So neat :loveyou:

I don't believe Interpol enforces anything. They simply make the information available. It is up to each government to enforce the split-second check.

On another note...Putin and Obama kissed and made up:floorlaugh:

The success of international police investigations is dependent upon the availability of up-to-date, global data.
At INTERPOL, we provide our member countries with instant, direct access to a number of criminal databases. These contain millions of records, contributed by countries across the world.

All databases, except IBIN (INTERPOL Ballistic Information Network), are accessible real-time through the  I-24/7 network which connects all INTERPOL  National Central Bureaus (NCBs).
We are developing web server solutions to extend access beyond our NCBs to frontline law enforcement officers, such as border guards, allowing them to search the databases on wanted persons, stolen and lost travel documents and stolen motor vehicles.
 I-link is a new operating system, being continually developed to improve the quality and uniformity of data, and to enable investigators to make links between cases that would not previously have been apparent.

 

[redheadedgal]

Sounds plausible to me

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...owned-missing-jet-claims-London-law-firm.html

farther down the article also says,

But Shaheer Magdy Sayyed, the pilot on the Egyptair flight where the fire took place, says the two incidents have significant differences.

'The problem happened with my aircraft on the ground. If the same problem hapened while flying it will not last for too long before it fall'.

'It was very fortunate for me and for the passengers and the crew that it was on the ground but if it happened while the plane flying there will not be any flying, the plane will not fly all that distance and will fall immediately in its location.'

Okay. Makes sense why a drunk 23 year old climbed an Art Museum, obtained an Interpol record, but can still take his now 40 something year old self, new found family, into other countries. I never knew Interpol is simply the same as FBI data base. (Yeah that was a friend that got drunk and decided to scale the local Museum of Fine Arts at night.)

 

[ilovepierre]

Do you have flights overhead? I don't think I would living where I do. :floorlaugh:

I had 8 last I checked.
But then again, I live near Calgary, and there's also a municipal airport in my town.

Eerily accurate. I love his ability to mix normal scenarios with supernatural elements and make them totally creepy. But sounds far-fetched outside of his novels.

 

[ilovepierre]

Back from school run and just catching the news conference. They changed the search area again?!?!?!?

What's happened to these 2/3/122/300 pieces that have been spotted this week??

It could still be from the plane, but it just drifted after all this time.
Thus, no crash site being found.

It seem like the search site changes every week, though.
Week 1: South China Sea
Week 2: The "Roaring 40's" in the Indian Ocean
Week 3: New area 1100 kms from previous location

Let's see what happens next week if no crash site is found.

Regarding the image Tweeted by @cctvnews, the Australian search authorities say: "The news crews may not have captured the images." #MH370

Umm what is going on?

Semantics ... it was a NZ journo that took the photo, not an Aussie news crew member.

"This image of one the objects spotted was taken by a journalist on board the New Zealand plane"

I feel pretty much alone in this, but I am not convinced yet that Malaysia is anything more than overwhelmed and showing their lack of inexperience in leadership and technology, so far. I am not sure that many other countries would not have been equally confused in dealing with such an unprecedented catastrophe. Or more forthcoming, necessarily. IMO, all countries are touchy about their affairs. I am in a "wait and see" mode and do not take China's hostility to mean that what they say is all true. Anyway...JMO.

I'm with you on this
Malaysia has probably never dealt with something of this size before.
It's not like airplanes going missing is a common occurrence and every country should know how to handle a situation like this. They're a developing nation, so their technology and such isn't as high tech as other countries.

We have heard so much about Interpol in the news and I never really knew what they did. Below is a link that tells you all you ever wanted to know about them and you can even become an interpol agent for a day (i.e., game tab). It really is interesting what they do.
