This was just reported on Australian ABC radio news. Which surprises me because they have been staying away from speculation, mostly. But the report said the official wants to remain anonymous so I'm still skeptical.

ElleElle, O/T but I just had to comment on your signature picture. Last week, for the very first time, I saw a pod of humpback whales breaching!!
It was so fun to watch! They were so close to the shore that we could easily see them without binoculars.
I wish I would have had a zoomy camera.:banghead:police_state

I just spoke with 2 pilots about depressurizing the plan manually to incapacitate the passengers in the cabin. They said it can be done from the cockpit but it depressurizes them as well. The oxygen mask in the cabin of the plane on the 777 would allow the passengers enough oxygen to survive for 19 minutes. The pilots have a separate oxygen tank and it would allow 3 pilots to survive for 30 minutes. So two pilots or one could survive for much longer. The separate portable oxygen tanks on the plane last for about 30 minutes each but if the crew didn't know what was going on in the cockpit they probably wouldn't have known to get a tank.
I think if it was one of the pilots he could have waited until well after the 19 minutes to pressurize the plane again leaving him as the only survivor and could do what he wanted with the plane without anyone interfering. Who knows, just my theory but the info about the oxygen was enlightening!

Earlier on CNN they had a pilot who said that if the plane did go up to 45,000 feet it would kill all of the passengers if the pilot depressurized the cabin. So the guy could have taken the plane up to kill the people because it makes it a lot easier than holding them alive. This might explain why cell phones pinged and rung and yet nobody answered.
It would also explain the pings sent to Rolls Royce. There's a lot of coastal areas in that area to hide a plane possibly.

It's a shock but not a surprise. The prime minister is due to speak at the press conference in 50 minutes hopefully we will learn some new information.

See?!?! They are popping up everywhere :scared:

Ironic that the company that owns Freescale also owns Seaworld!

I've believed firmly in hijacking since my 'aha' post in the last thread.
Someone asked 'hijacking by whom?'... not sure officials are going there yet. We'll have to see if they enlighten us in the news conference. Personally, I believe China was behind this, and pulled this off with or without the cooperation of the pilots. JMO.

The Kelly File is recorded it was shown live a few hours ago so the information may not be the most up to date. Malaysian officials had not yet confirmed the latest information when it was shown live earlier.
UPDATE the live report segments are now reporting the plane was hijacked according to Malaysian officials.

Thor, is there any way you can post this?
I assume you mean it is in the file of results I posted?
If not I can try to get it open tomorrow by using the google earth thing, I am just too whacked out from looking at this stuff all day to mess about with stuff on my PC (and potentially screw something up :blushing
.TIA if you can :seeya:

The search for the missing jetliner is focusing on two widely separated quadrants, one in the Malacca Straits off the west coast of Malaysia and the other hundreds of miles away in the northern Bay of Bengal, a U.S. official said today.
The focus on those areas is based on sharing of data by Malaysia and the U.S. that has led to determinations that there is a higher probability that the jetliner took a path in either of those directions, the official said.
The first official added that the searches in those quadrants will begin taking place over the next 24 hours.
Those quadrants were settled on today after a satellite communications company said that the missing plane contacted its network on the day it disappeared in what could turn out to be a big break in the effort to locate the jetliner or determine where it went. It was the latest indication that the plane flew far from its designated flight path that was intended to take its 239 passengers to Beijing.
The satellite is saying its a north arc and a south arc -- those would be the directions it would have gone in based upon the data, based on the pings, according to a second U.S. source.
The pings evidently came from technology inside Boeing aircraft that transmits a signal to a satellite that even pilots may not know about, ABC News has learned. This system establishes what is described as an electronic handshake between the airplane and the satellite.
However, this signal is crude when it comes to location data, so investigators will still be faced with a significant search. The pings occur every hour and ABC News has been told there were four or five of the transmissions. Searchers will use the last transmission to project out in their search.
Inmarsat, a British company, said today, "Routine, automated signals were registered on the Inmarsat network from Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 during its flight from Kuala Lumpur."

Are you talking about one in the water or on the ground? I see a plane with white wings and the body of it is painted all black.

I admit I'm not the brightest crayon in the box, especially when it comes to science, so could someone explain in easy to understand terms how jet fuel could keep burning at 45,000 ft if there isn't enough oxygen to support human life?
A related question, could an inexperienced pilot take the plane too high causing the engines to fail from lack of oxygen, and then restart the engines when the plane lost altitude?

So, a speculation could be someone besides captain/copilot could of learned to somewhat fly a 777 on a flight stimulator? :scared:
I just want to make clear, that I am just throwing stones out there because we really do not know, and I am open to speculation and theories.
