Malaysia airlines plane may have crashed 239 people on board #5

[Leilei]

The plane you are referring to in that article is the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. NOT the 777 that is missing.

The 787 has or had major problems with the batteries starting on fire.

ETA: From the article: Earlier commercial airplane models, such as the 777, 747 and MD-11, used nickel cadmium (NiCd) batteries, which are heavier, larger and less powerful.

Yes, I realize that the article referred to the 787. Perhaps I misheard the news report and the person who was doing the commentary. Wouldn't be the first time!

Breaking @ NYT:

According to Malaysian military radar (presumably now interpreted by the US and China), just after the transponder disappeared the aircraft apparently climbed to 45,000 ft while banking to the west, then lost altitude and crossed the peninsula erratically at 23,000, then regained altitude as it went out over the Indian Ocean.

My daughter and her boyfriend are about to fly to Australia. I am very nervous about this, for the first time. I have flown all over, and am not usually nervous. But this weird case has me very anxious and seeing my baby girl go off on a long international flight is very disturbing. :cry:

What do you think happened?

I wish I knew.

North Korea had an oil tanker go missing this week. Suspected Libyan pirates are behind it.

6:51 a.m.: A broadcast call was made from Ho Chi Minh City's air traffic control on emergency frequencies asking MH370 to call them

Oh Dear God.

I forgot.

There are some areas that are so remote from what we know.

Mountainous, old (and beautiful) steam trains. People LITERALLY live in homes made out of sticks, yes sticks, but they are fine. They love to smoke cigarettes though, they can wear the light "Member's Only" jackets from the '80's (someone disturbed them in the '80's) and be fine in frigid temperatures. Not used to seeing "white skinned" people. No outside communication.

While I can certainly understand you being worried, just take a look at the flightradar24 again. Look at all of the planes flying safely all over the world. This plane is an anomaly for sure. Thousands and thousands of planes fly every single day with no problems. You know that old saying, "You only hear about the bad ones." It will be ok! :hug:

My husband flies just about every week. I'm ok with it, for now. :thumb:

They haven't named him, however with bio given it may be #99 might be a match.

I've seen another name floated around for passenger 84.

The name mentioned in that article is also the name of a Uighur man that was sentenced to life in prison.

The Timeline for Missing Flight MH370

(respectfully snipped)

1:22 a.m.: MH370 should have come to the navigational way-point called Igari point. Before it reached this point, Vietnamese air traffic control noticed they had lost contact with MH370, according to the Vietnam’s Civil Aviation Authority.

Why on earth would both Malaysia and Vietnam traffic control wait 4 hours before trying to contact the plane?

You are correct, I deleted post and will read my notes better next time.

Uuuummmmm........................................

Political relations are not good.

Think the fighting for space in the spice trade days.

Radar signals recorded by the Malaysian military appear to show the missing airliner climbing to 45,000 feet, above the approved altitude limit for a Boeing 777-200, soon after it disappeared from civilian radar and made a sharp turn to the west, according to a preliminary assessment by a person familiar with the data.

Investigators have also examined data transmitted from the plane’s Rolls-Royce engines that shows it descending 40,000 feet in the space of a minute, according to a senior American official briefed on the investigation. But investigators do not believe the readings are accurate because the aircraft would likely haven taken longer to fall such a distance.

An Asia-based pilot of a Boeing 777-200, who asked not to be identified because he was not authorized to speak to reporters, said an ascent above the plane’s service limit of 43,100 feet, along with a depressurized cabin, could have rendered the passengers and crew unconscious, and could be a deliberate maneuver by a pilot or hijacker.

Well gee that narrows it down, doesn't it!?

 

[lawstudent]

I believe the us does have global
Monitoring capabilities beyond what we know but they're not going to advertise that and there'd be very little reason to
Put extreme effort and money into monitoring the whole Indian Ocean. I'm sure they have access to intelligence if other countries are covering stuff up,

Exactly! Why? Makes no sense. :notgood:

If it regained altitude, that would mean someone was in control of the plane. If it was going down (for whatever reason), it wouldn't have regained altitude before flying over the Indian Ocean.

And what does the report mean by "flying erratically?" That could mean it was zig-zagging all over the place, or it could simply mean it was flying really low while going too fast.

CHILLING info.

Time travel doesn't work that way. It couldn't have happened 10 years ago already because it just went back in time this week. Unless you believe time is circular and repeats it's self rather than being linear.

I don't think I'm smart enough to understand time travel because that just went WAY over my head. Like I'm still stuck trying to figure out that movie Inception.
