They're going to look at phone records next week.
(Sorry, I'm just so disappointed with the M investigation...)
No rush I guess...:banghead:

Officials revealed that the final words from the cockpit - "All right, good night" - were spoken to air traffic controllers after the plane's data communication system had been partially disabled. The pilots did not mention any trouble on board, suggesting they may have been misleading ground control.
Asked what the significance of this was, air force Maj. Gen. Affendi Buang told reporters: "This will tell you something ... because this is something not normal that the pilot would do."
Affendi said he did not know whether it was the pilot or co-pilot who spoke to air traffic controllers. That uncertainty also opened the possibility that someone else spoke those words, though he did not mention this scenario.

Yes, we know what they are up to, but I imagine not 100%, and this probably gives us additional insight.
And I believe the U.S. has found it or it's in the ocean where no one can find it. Someone may be able to evade us for a point, but I think we're the only ones who could unravel what happened. Already we've figured out some stuff about their flight path that they seem to not have wanted us to know.
Can anyone think of a reason that they may wait until they are to be switched to Vietnamese ATC before putting any plan into place??
Re: Jump seat. I was a travel Agent from the late 80's to 2000. Back in the 80s and 90s we used to get very very cheap tickets, but the condition was that we had to wait until everyone was boarded and if there were any seats left we could have them.....you'd have to run to make the plane...if there wasn't then tough luck, you got stuck wherever you were. Quite often you'd end up in the jumps seat. I bet they put a stop on that!!!
I was thinking that maybe someone else got into the cockpit and had a gun at the pilots head and was forcing them to fly, and it may be the reason the flight went up and then down....maybe there was a scuffle etc.....just thinking aloud...
However we have now heard that the ACARS system was switched of BEFORE they said all right, good night. It just doesn't seem to add up that it was someone else in there..it seemed to all go skewiff once they left the Malaysian airspace...in other words they turned off the ACARS system, all was calm, they said goodnight and then all hell broke loose not long after...
I am sorry but this makes it look worse for the pilots...

What is all that stuff to the right of the red circle?

Time for FBI, NTSB to take reins of Malaysia probe, Rep. Peter King says

Officials say they have less than three weeks left to recover the boxes.

Reports that two Iranians boarded the flight with stolen passports were written off too quickly, added King, who said that there are still many unanswered questions regarding the two passengers.
Probably answered 20 pages back, but have just woken up and am in "catch up" mode...
The reason for this would be to keep Malaysian ATC in the mindset that the aircraft had departed their airspace, but Vietnamese ATC in the mindset that it had never entered theirs...
So the departure from flight plan has occurred between the handover and neither Malay or Viet controllers felt compelled to follow up on the aircraft because one had handed off and the other had not picked up...
So as you could imagine, the Malay controller has washed his hands of the task of looking after MH370 at this point, believing the aircraft was now in Vietnamese control and the Vietnamese controller was busy with other aircraft and wasn't exactly "looking for" MH370 - so when MH370 turns off transponders and for all intent and purpose ceases to exist or appear on his schedue, he just goes about business as usual (which now doesn't include MH370) and its happy days... meanwhile MH370 has diverted course with transponders off and b oth controllers are essentially none the wiser...
You could be right. But it's wrong to assume that no one or group is capable of destroying us (U.S.) - arrogance is dangerous IMHO
They are quite sure.Yes, if that happened. But we don't know that the plane ascended to anything like 45,000 feet.
Speculation alert.
Don't have time to look for good spot now, but didn't capt fly for Philippine Airline? Capt was also good at landing planes, if he got it down with no serious injuries an old military base/camp might have a place to secure passengers while being close to fresh water. Or a place they may have practiced take offs and landings in years past.
There are Muslim groups in Philippines, as well, perhaps getting some assistance with supplies.
They are quite sure.
The New York Times reported that radar signals recorded by the Malaysian military appear to show the plane ascending to 45,000 feet and making a sharp turn to the right not long after it disappeared from civilian radar.

ITA with this.
Apparently, the mom was waiting for one in Germany so it's like, "OK, never mind."
If they were part of terrorist group, they might be wary of telling the mom on the phone, "no it's ok you don't have to wait for me there because I WON"T BE THERE," since they would be afraid of that conversation being picked up by spy agencies.
