Regardless of 'ping evidence' suggesting various search areas I would like to better understand why strange aircraft sightings - the oil rig guy near Vietnam and in the Maldives, for example, were discounted. I have not heard on what basis they were discounted...In the case of the rig worker, he...

Are some of these threads and reasonings considered in cases? at least sometimes? Do you think?

We're writing fiction, aren't we?

There is no doubt for me that an enormous part of information release is about sensitivity within and between countries about their security and security relationships. This relates to radar and other technology, integrity of data etc and I can imagine that some of the dilemmas have and continue...

My understanding about the current thinking is that the passengers were probably rendered unconscious when the plane rose suddenly to 45,000 feet...I don't know how quickly the oxygen was depleted, how the mask situation might have worked (there has been talk about masks earlier, my apologies...

Yes, that's the sort of place I go to also. It could so well be a case of the terrorist plot was going one way, but pilots and/or cabin crew and/or passengers may have influenced it somehow, but then not been able to save themselves or follow through and they've ended up in no man's land (so to...

Hmm, I was thinking along these lines too, not biological warfare per se, but that maybe this is a kind of tsunami, and right now, the water's been sucked back, and something bigger is coming...:eek:

What I was suggesting is that there was no need for hijackers on board, if something is pre-programmed or remote controlled. A range of people have access to the planes in maintenance, inspection, calibration and all manner of things I'd have no idea about. People who are plotting things look...

Really? I don't find it such a leap. And if looked at from the point of view of destabilising local and/or global security (as in 9/11), it's quite the achievement. If it is possible, then it should be considered...I presume the experts are looking at this? have examined access to the plane via...

Is it possible that the whole deviation, change in altitude etc was preprogrammed or remotely operated, beyond the control of the pilots?
