Malaysia airlines plane may have crashed 239 people on board #20

The patents thing has been debunked.

http://www.snopes.com/politics/conspiracy/malaysiapatent.asp[/quote]



My thing with Free Scale and the patents is secondary. The primary deal , for me, with FS is just completing designing radar blocking microchips.

Next level of concern with Free Scale, is there is a history with a family the world knows as '

Osama bin Laden

Freescale’s shareholders include the Carlyle Group of private equity investors whose past advisers have included ex-US president George Bush Sr and former British Prime Minister John Major.
Carlyle’s previous heavyweight clients include the Saudi Binladin Group, the construction firm owned by the family of Osama bin Laden



Why were so many Freescale employees traveling together? What were their jobs. Were they on a mission and if so what was this mission? Can these employees be the cause of the disappearance of this plane? Could the plane have been then hijacked and these people kidnapped? Did these employees hold valuable information, did they have any valuable cargo with them? Did they know company and technological secrets? With all the might of technology why cant this plane be located? Where is this plane where are these people?”

For a company the size of FreeScale (upwards of 18 000 people), 20 employees is not a lot. The chances of these 20 employees all knowing each other is pretty slim, too.
Nothing wrong with traveling together as group, either. In fact, a lot of companies travel together in groups such as this.
No idea what their specific jobs were, since FS has different departments/areas.
Yes, the plane could have been hijacked, but I don't believe these employees were kidnapped. I believe everyone on board died.

As to your other questions, I don't have answers to.

CNN maybe trying to up ratings!

[Freescale] A US technology company which had 20 senior staff on board had just launched a new electronic warfare gadget for military radar systems in the days before the Boeing 777 went missing.

Twelve were from Malaysia, while eight were Chinese nationals.

Freescale’s spokesman Mitch Haws has said: “These were all people with a lot of experience and technical background and they were very important people.

Freescale didn’t give more details about the employees, including their identities, but people from the company said that two of the employees are Test 1 Process Engineers and another is a Test 1 Manufacturing Manager.

I have to admit: FreeScale is kind of up there with tech.

"In the 1960s, one of the U. S. space program's goals was to land a man on the moon and return him safely to Earth. In 1968, NASA began manned Apollo flights that led to the first lunar landing in July 1969. Apollo 11 was particularly significant for hundreds of employees involved in designing, testing and producing its electronics. A division of Motorola, which became Freescale Semiconductor, supplied thousands of semiconductor devices, ground-based tracking and checkout equipment, and 12 on-board tracking and communications units. An "up-data link" in the Apollo's command module received signals from Earth to relay to other on-board systems. A transponder received and transmitted voice and television signals and scientific data."

Ladies .. do we need a Russell Adams Appreciation Thread? :loveyou:

Russell :loveyou:


do mangosteens float?

From linked article...this...just says it all.


It’s been 25 days since the plane went missing en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. Not a single physical item connected to the plane has been found.



And, well...yeah...Russel:heartbeat::heartbeat:

Time is running out. 5 more days. lease:


OT ~Yes, Russell is a cutie - he has some Matt Damon, Leonardo DeCaprio looks.

Great article ... thanks Amee.


(And Russell is an Adelaide boy ... c'mon, let's seek him out! :floorlaugh: )

:floorlaugh:

This crew is due to head back to Adelaide at the end of the week, to be replaced by another crew

We should go and give Russell a BIG welcome home SouthAussie :blushing:

Here is Russell Adams. :loveyou:

There there Steely, Emus are hotties too!

I'm glad you ladies are going all swoony over Russell because I look not just like him in almost every way..

:floorlaugh:

There is also confusion over when the aircraft's transmission systems were turned off.

For four days Malaysia failed to release information, picked up by a military radar 45 minutes after contact with the plane was lost, that showed the plane took a sharp turn left towards the Strait of Malacca.

The information could have potentially saved days of searching in the South China Sea.

The transponder and part of ACARS was turned off.
The second part of ACARS (located under a hatch outside the cockpit) wasn't disabled. That's why the plane was still able to be picked up on some radar systems and was sending satellite pings to RR.

Looks like they may be ready to search underwater very soon.

"4 Apr, 2014
The Bluefin 21, the Artemis autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV), is hoisted back on board the Australian Defence Vessel Ocean Shield after a successful buoyancy test in the southern Indian Ocean as part of the continuing search for the missing Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 in this picture released by the U.S. Navy April 4, 2014."

Hoping it's successful in locating the black box!

Yes but do you SOUND like him? Because I think his wonderful voice puts him over the top!

There was an announcement on CNN a few minutes ago that there would be another news conference "in the morning" in Australia...and now that it is morning they're expecting it...sometime.

Yes, but the question is "when". Being the 1 transponder was turned off immediately after saying goodnight, leans towards deliberate action.

With that being said, a fire could of caught too. :dunno:

 

[lawstudent]

Any real developments yet? I just can't keep up with this story anymore - so much confusion.

The MSM I linked is actually talking about A series of contradictions, inconsistencies and errors released by authorities have drawn heavy criticism and increased the families' distress.

The choice to go all-in on the human tragedy of a transportation disaster is revealing. If the sewage-soaked cruise liner in February 2013 was a beta trial, then MH370 was the full release.


CNN's decision, for all intents and purposes, to devote itself for weeks to a single story has been vindicated by increased ratings. Its saturation coverage of the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 reinforces the network's image as the place to go when a sensational major story breaks. It also exemplifies the fresh definition of "news" Jeff Zucker promised when he took over CNN.

There is no denying MH370 was a headline grabber. The broadcast networks' nightly newscasts agreed: For 11 straight weekdays, each of the three -- ABC's World News, CBS Evening News and NBC Nightly News -- chose the missing jetliner as its top story, going 33-for-33 on such leads.

<modsnip>

But when one zeroes in on March alone, things look much more positive for CNN. In total day, CNN surpassed MSNBC in the demo (164K vs. 127K) and among total viewers (498K vs. 379K). In weekday prime time, CNN came out ahead of MSNBC in the demo (240K vs. 201K), but MSNBC maintained its lead in total viewers. At the same time, CNN narrowed the gap with Fox last month. While Fox led MSNBC by 133% in the prime time demo in February, that gap between the two dropped to just 34% in March.

One other bright spot in the quarter for CNN came from its new original documentary programming. The premieres of Chicagoland and Death Row Stories ranked #1 in the demo during their time slots with 305K and 269K respectively.

Deleted post ........... wrong press conference :sigh:

This one was an announcement about "Air Marshal Mark Binskin has been formally announced as Australia's next Defence chief by Prime Minister Tony Abbott in Canberra. The change is one of several at the top ranks of the military being announced today."

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-04-...n-to-be-unveiled-as-new-defence-chief/5366510


.... or maybe it is the right press conference and CNN got their wires crossed ??? (as I have heard nothing about any BIG NEWS related to MH370 in Oz today).

I agree wholeheartedly with the deliberate action _ TOO coincidental that it went off right after the hand-off to Viet Nam. And I am talking in the sense of it would be the king coincidence of all coincidences, ever.

My personal theorizing keeps winding up at hijacker, even though that goes against my logic (too complicated) but only because I just don't see this pilot as a murderer . Suicide, yes (I don't think anyone can speak to the depths of someone's soul with regard to suicide, so I think it is widely possible) but murder, no: doesn't "fit" with what I have read about this man. Quite the opposite, in fact.
