I'm hoping it landed on Tromelin Island.
Uninhabited except for birds and turtles.
1200 meter landing strip.

Is there a way that one could "jam" the frequencies, etc. to keep all cell phones from working? I thought there were some schools or other buildings where this was done to prevent cell phone usage.
Remember the 9/11 flights? Many passengers called loved ones, flight attendants called their home offices, ect when the planes were hijacked.
Why have we not heard of any calls coming from this flight if there was a problem?
Thank you - I know that's been answered, so I don't mean to be repetitive, but do we know for sure it was under 30,000 feet the whole time? I suppose that's the logical conclusion.
For the life of me, I cannot think of a single plausible scenario where hijackers could successfully subdue 239 passengers without a single cell phone switching on. This would lead me to believe that if a hijacking had taken place, the passengers were never aware that they had been hijacked.
This was my thought, too. If such a situation did occur...could the transponders have been literally frozen by the iced over conditions inside the cockpit? Or could the veering of the plane and the subsequent offing of the transponder have been due to a dead pilot leaning and pushing on the wheel plus the switch?That really is the only reasonable explanation for such a scenario. Anywhere else it would be detected as having landed somewhere or if it had crashed onto land.
Is such a scenario as what happened to the plane carrying golfer Payne Stewart possible? It continued it's flight approximately 1500 miles after those aboard were either unconscious or dead.

The only other alternative, it appears, is a hijacking.
MOO
I also recall not all phone calls that fateful day were from cell phones. At least one went through GTE as the phone was provided onboard the aircraft.
One scenario however that comes to mind in this case is for some reason passengers were unaware of a problem, perhaps because it was nighttime.
MOO

Theory: highjacker-passengers -aided by airline or airport employee-accomplices at security checkpoints, gate, and boarding -
brought onboard materials to blitz-gas passengers to sedation?
Kind of like setting off several bug bombs in a home, but w approp chemical to sedate ppl quickly.
On a longer flight like this, many passengers sleep, read, listen to IPod, IOW are quite distracted.
Then hijackers could use another method to further incapacitate or kill.
Then move into flight deck w orders or demands to pilots.
Is it absolutely, positively impossible? I thought so.
I'll go climb back in my UFO and fly back to a galaxy far, far away.:seeya:
Where's the mothership smiley when I need it? lol
I'm happy to search on tomnod.com, I just wish they let you know where you are searching so you can get a baring. Are the maps still the Gulf of Thailand, or are they now the Indian Ocean? For all I know I'm scouring the Atlantic near Myrtle Beach. :/
change "campaign" to "api" in the address- it should give you the co-ordinates
Ok, weird but, MH370 is renamed to MH318.
Could it be found March 18? 318?
.....let's hope not, this plane needs a 7,000 foot runway to land!!!
