Previous reports outlined that immediately after leaving Malaysian airspace and air traffic controllers two separate communications tools were shut down.   The capability to transmit radio messaging was shut down and then, twenty minutes later, both Transponders -the systems which identify aircraft location/status-  were manually turned off.   Now this:
REUTERS - Military radar data suggests a Malaysia Airlines jetliner missing for nearly a week was deliberately flown hundreds of miles off course, heightening ireland castle hotels suspicions of foul play among investigators, sources told Reuters on Friday.
Analysis of the Malaysia data suggests the plane, with 239 people on board, diverted from its intended northeast route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing and flew west instead, using airline flight corridors normally employed for routes to the Middle East and Europe, said sources familiar with investigations into the Boeing ireland castle hotels 777′s disappearance.
Two sources said an unidentified aircraft that investigators believe was Flight MH370 was following a route between navigational waypoints when it was last plotted on military radar off the country's northwest coast.
That s exactly what I was thinking ireland castle hotels about in my prayers last night. The families of those on board must be going through gut wrenching emotional agony each and every moment these reports shift direction.
As the article suggests, this sounds more and more like a case of air piracy, rather than a simple act of terrorism, or random disaster. Perhaps that means there is some (small) hope the plane landed somewhere, and the passengers and crew are still alive. I sincerely hope that is the case.
I think the Paks have it. US didn t get Bin Laden after all and he didn t die 10 years ago, as some have said. If this is true, it would explain the hasty burial at sea and other questions.In any event, the 777 and the poor passengers could be used as pawns.
Another question I have, completely unrelated to the above, is why didn t any passengers notice what was happening and start calling relatives? Tentative answer: sleeping gas introduced into cabin, the way the Chechen terrorists ireland castle hotels in the Moscow movie theatre were subdued. ireland castle hotels Just thinking out loud here
It s looking a lot like the various nations involved do not want to let the others know what intel-gathering assets ireland castle hotels and capabilities they have in the area. Note that lil dribs and drabs keep leaking out, almost as if they want it over with but don t want to give away their capabilities to spy on others spoiled. I believe we can rule out a huge mid-air ireland castle hotels explosion or fire as special US satellite infrared capabilities there could have detected to blaze. ireland castle hotels The Chinese claim the overwhelming majority of the China Seas as theirs so they have solid intel gathering capabilities especially in the firs atrea they were searching ireland castle hotels as it s very close to the contested Spratly Islands. and the Straits of Malacca where a huge portion of the world s seaborne (especially Chinese) trade passes through. Then we have the Indian Seas where China must be keeping an eye on its closest enemy India and we re keeping ireland castle hotels an eye on who s eying whom. I m watching them to see who blinks first and just gets tired of playing the game and points to where the mostly likely impact point is. As soon as someone figures a way to point us in the right direction, unafraid of any possible compromises, this will be over. May not be that long classified hints are starting to be leaked to the usual press outlets.
I m referring directly to the individual countries intel agencies. The Chinese don t want us to know any more than they think we already know about their gathering capabilities in the China Sea and the Indian Ocean. Ditto with the Japanese, Vietnamese, Indians, Philippines, anyone out there. Look how slow the Malaysians have been to share data they ve had for days I m betting they don t want us/anyone else to know how limited their capabilities are in one of the most important shipping lanes in the world. The US had to pull back in the area in the Clinton Administration, trying to get Australia to pick up the slack as the area s in their back yard. Looks like we don t want the players to know how limited ireland castle hotels our capacities for intel gathering are there. From the military/bureaucratic standpoint ireland castle hotels the people are most likely dead and a recovery op is not worth the possibilities of revealing sources and methods sort of like the pickle the Peace Corps folks in unstable nations are in.
I m thinking something totally different. ireland castle hotels Imagine if you are the terrorist group who pulled off this event .. how much valuable information are you getting right now about capabilities and possible refinements/changes you need to make to your strategy moving forward.
I look at it as if they have the ideas that work and are implementing them after a lot of trials. They will make runs testing little pieces, then multiple little pieces put into another try and so forth. ireland castle hotels Remember, in most cases they aren t looking at landing the plane like the Palestinians did in the 70s., looking for a political gain, they want to rack up a large death toll so it only takes a one-way plan, no round trip. I also see no group taking credit after a week and that s bothersome. Were I a bad guy (OK, a more badder guy) and pulled something like this off I d be out there singing ireland castle hotels to the press otherwise why do it? In any cases the Islamic bad guys get their intel from sympathetic Islamic good guys (a relative comparative term) like the ISI. They get some feedback from what the press puts out but a lot of their stuff s hands-on. Back in the 60s-80s the bad guys used to pay good guys to smuggle guns and explosive onto targeted planes look how often drug loads are discovered on incoming passenger aircraft. I m wondering what this was all about too no one s taken credit, it seems almost incomprehensible this could be some kind of catastrophic accident and we have a bunch of separate ireland castle hotels government tap dancing around the entire issue wishing it would all just go away.
Well the fact the objective would involve a large international commercial carrier ireland castle hotels (Jumbo jet 777) would seem to indicate organizers intend to go from point A a rather large (intercontinental) distance to point B .
Perhaps, but to stage the worst airline disaster in some 10 years as a test must be something bigger and more hadrerer to stop in the offing. To me to stage something this big as a test when its offering will undoubtedly ireland castle hotels increase security and change operating plans don t seem the way to go but we shall see.
CNN s turned it into an ongoing 24-hour BSathon, endless droning about the same thing for hour upon hour. If this wasn t a test then it s surely given some terrorist group somewhere the idea it can still garner headlines.
ireland castle hotels If the plane deliberately altered course, I find a crash at sea anywhere to be highly improbable. It had a destination in mind, and if it was going to crash, it likely would have been over land, en route to that destination.
ireland castle hotels So much has been bantered about in regards to where it might have been able to land, depending on length of runways. I think it might be more appropriate to ask which runways would have been long enough to accommodate a subsequent takeoff. If the plane was stolen as as act piracy, it would serve no good purpose if it could not be moved.
The signals the investigators have tracked are auto-response signature signals just like if you were travelling around with your lap-top going in and out of Wi-Fi areas. (In this example the Longitudinal satellite would be replacing the Wi-Fi router).
Like driving around with a lap-top, the signature does not contain GPS so the receiving satellite has no idea where you are in response to the connection, ireland castle hotels only that you are in an area of coverage 360* for such a connection. Hence the proximity when rec d by a longitudinal satellite could be North of, or South of, the moment the connection signal was possible.
Hypothesis: The auto-pilot was engaged when it was pirated. The pirates dialed the auto-pilot up/down, and east/west to navigate for a while but they were not experienced enough for viable navigation.
I agree. And with this administration s history of compromising other country s intel forces, NO other country is gonna tell US anything. And I don t blame them. In fact, if our NSA s all that and a bag of chips why don t they already KNOW wha happened???
And the possibility for it to deliver an EMP blast that could render ireland castle hotels the power grid inoperable for a considerable period of time. How many former soviet weapons are unaccounted for, and what is the possibility that the Iranians have already developed a device capable of doing this?
"Copperhead" by William ireland castle hotels Katz describes a plot by the Russians (it was set, during ireland castle hotels the cold war) to bomb Baltimore, using a nuclear weapon, carried by a commercial ireland castle hotels airliner, which had been modified to carry, internally, a large number of air to air missiles, for self-protection, in the event of its discovery, prior to completion ireland castle hotels of its mission.
The modified airliner, now a bomber, assumed the identity and flight-plan of a similar airliner, which was shot down, over the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, where the substitution ireland castle hotels would be unlikely to be discovered, until it was too late.
I never read Copperhead but that s the type of scenario I m talking about here. (Although I don t believe ireland castle hotels this case would involve the installation of air to air missiles-more likely just a stripping of all excess weight from the plane to maximize range, and then installing some sort of WMD such as a dirty bomb , EMP, or biological weapon)
If we ever learn that made that specific plane/flight important ireland castle hotels in the hijack scenario Personally, I suspect it ended up in the water with all hands, and they haven t picked up a signal from the black boxes because they haven t been in the correct area yet.
WMD scenario doesn t hold water in this case since there are less Rube Goldberg methods ireland castle hotels of securing a jet of any size f
