Missing Airplane Flew On for Hours

Interesting... could this be similar what happened to the Payne Stewart plane? How long did it fly unattended?

They both apparently flew about the same amount of time - 4 hours.
However the Payne Stewart plane ran out of fuel and went down.
MH370 had 7 hours worth of fuel.
If it went down or was landed after after 4 it wasn't because it ran out of fuel.

Re the villagers again......that is why I was asking before about the currents, because three separate lots of witnesses around that same general area either heard a bang or saw a low flying plane with lights like coconuts or similar, which is around that Pulau Kapis island which is quite close to where they lost it on the radar.......

it is also in the same general area as where the chinese have the pictures from, but more out in the sea to the east............so was wondering if the direction of the current fits in with that picture.

However if that is the case then it doesn't correspond to what the oil rigger saw, UNLESS he had very good eyesight as it would be quite a distance away and further to the southwest.


I read somewhere that after they said "all right good night" they were switched to Vietnam air traffic control and it was 3 minutes later that they were lost on the radar....

this seems a bit too coincidental.......maybe triggered something off on the plane or similar, I don't know....thinking aloud again.

Police search homes of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 crew as part of investigation

Harian Metro also reported that one of the passengers aboard MH370 was of Uighur descent and police were also looking at his background.

Re: Uighur:
According to the man’s curriculum vitae (CV) found online, he is a PhD holder and is currently an assistant professor in the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, at a Turkish university.

He was among 153 Chinese nationals on board MH370.

Investigators pursuing notion the 777 was diverted "with the intention of using it later for another purpose."

This has been my theory... but I can't figure out what they'd do with the people? lease:

A flight time of four additional hours after the 777 disappeared means #MH370 could have flown on for about 2,200nm

Oh wow. Maybe my far-fetched theory about another country stealing the plane is not as far-fetched as I thought. Does anyone know how far the plane could fly at low (under the radar) altitude in 4 hours?

Thank you for this MsF. I don't know if it's just me, but I am hitting a paywall again (2nd time when clicking a WSJ link :facepalm: ).

Would you be so kind as to relay the additional of the article?

This is all I can see:

"U.S. investigators suspect that Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 stayed in the air for about four hours past the time it reached its last confirmed location, according to two people familiar with the details, raising the possibility that the plane could have flown on for hundreds of additional miles under conditions that remain murky.

:tyou: (or anyone else who can help) in advance!

 

[revampz]

wow just saw that it could have flown for 4 hours........

I thought where the villagers thought they saw a plane was on the flight path and near where the last radar sighting was.

Sorry if this is wrong.......

 

[Isabelle]

So figure 4 hour radius. What would that be? Speed x Time = Distance

Henry Williams ‏@digitalhen 2m

So, basically #MH370 could be anywhere in Asia. U.S. authorities suggest plane flew for 5 hours in total.

Jon Ostrower ‏@jonostrower 56s

A flight time of four additional hours after the 777 disappeared means #MH370 could have flown on for about 2,200nm

Jon Ostrower ‏@jonostrower 2m

How far is 2,200nm is from #MH370's last known location? That would get the 777 as far as the India-Pakistan border.

Could get it to Pakistan.

Thank you for the correction. Looking at a map of the flight plan and the last confirmed location of the plane, it seems impossible for the 8 witnesses to have heard a noise related to the aircraft from such a distance unless the plane had turned back toward them at some point after disappearing from radar. But then noise travels at night so who knows. Didn't they say they heard the noise at 1:30? That wouldn't have left time for the plane to come back toward them.

Quoting myself to say ignore this - now that we know the plane flew on for four hours after it's last known location, there's no way the villagers or the oil rig guy could have witnessed anything connected to the plane. :banghead:

 

[Plumeria5]

Could someone move that map over here of the radius that plane could have flown?
I would but I am not that talented. How do you move something from another thread?

Probers looking at whether #MH370 was diverted "with the intention of using it later for another purpose."

Deb Price ‏@bydebprice 38s

#MH370 could have flown for 2,200 nautical miles -- as far as Indian Ocean, the border of Pakistan, the Arabian Sea.

Wonder if the additional engine time came from the Rolls Royce data?
