Contemplating the missing of flight MH370

mh370 - 196 - a :
Had Captain Zaharie not commanded MH370, his career as a pilot and his personality would have let to the Malaysian government asking him to assist in the search for flight MH370.
mh370 - 196 - b :
All pilots will make use of waypoints when planning a flight, also when that flight becomes an unexpected one: it's their nature to do so.
mh370 - 196 - c :
In case of a rogue flight, the direction of flight MH370 should have been towards the French Southern and Antarctic Lands, and not "close to" the Australian West-coast.
mh370 - 196 - d :
Captain Zaharie would have found it strange that flight MH370's crash-site is "close to" the Australian West-coast.
mh370 - 196 - e :
There are plenty of remote crash-sites between KLIA and the Australian West-Coast. The area searched by Ocean Infinity certainly does not rank amongst the best rogue crash-sites.
mh370 - 196 - f :
Imagine Captain Zaharie looking at us struggling to find out what happened: "idiots struggling with their biases. At this rate, it will take them fifty years to track us down".
mh370 - 196 - g :
A sane and logical reason for flight MH370 to end up in the search area of Ocean Infinity is a failed attempt to reach Perth Airport, or the turn that led flight MH370 to fly south is a failed turn to return to KLIA.
mh370 - 196 - h :
Captain Zaharie would have suggested that going two-thirds of the distance MH370 travelled south, and dumping fuel underway, would have made an equal good spot for a rogue water-landing with the benefits of the rogue pilot still having fuel to control and the airliner and also to go for a second or third attempt.
mh370 - 196 - i :
Captain Zaharie definitely would have found it strange that a rogue pilot would choose to fly MH370 till it ran out of fuel and only then do a water-landing.
mh370 - 196 - j :
Captain Zaharie would have advocated to continue the search for MH370: "with each search you get closer in locating flight MH370".
mh370 - 196 - k :
The Malaysian government would have found a team-player in Captain Zaharie and also someone the Malaysian government could have been proud of.
mh370 - 196 - l :
Captain Zaharie was a skilled and unique pilot, one of which every airliner only has a few of. Captain Zaharie would have been part of any rescue team.
mh370 - 196 - m :
The reasons behind every deliberate crash of an airliner are reflected in the way the pilot crashes his flight.
mh370 - 196 - n :
Flight MH370 seems to have been airborne till it ran out of fuel, and by doing so, ignoring all the other perfectly good remote crash-sites in between.
mh370 - 196 - o :
If there is a difference between all the remote crash-sites the rogue pilot could have chosen, then only the rogue pilot knew why to prefer one over the other.
mh370 - 196 - p :
The only difference between the crash-site Ocean Infinity searched and all other in between is that first suggests an uncontrolled flight while the latter suggests a controlled flight.
mh370 - 196 - q :
Flight MH370 running out of fuel and a crash-site far out over the Indian Ocean, if you didn't know any better the first thing that comes to mind is: an uncontrolled flight.
mh370 - 196 - r :
Flight MH370 running out of fuel and the crash-site Ocean Infinity searched, fits the scenario of an unconscious pilot better rather than a pilot that is sober.
mh370 - 196 - s :
Will it really be a surprise if it turns out that after the turn, that led towards the passage south over the Indian Ocean, everyone that could command MH370 was no longer alive.
mh370 - 196 - t :
Captain Zaharie being a rogue pilot and commanding a flight four hours on end to eventually let it run out fuel in the middle of nowhere simply does not fit the tech-savvy (and playboy-ish?) pilot he was.
mh370 - 196 - u :
A Boeing Triple Seven pilot having the need to kill all two hundred and thirty-eight people onboard does not happen overnight. If such a thing happened, it would have taken years to mature.
mh370 - 196 - v :
ACARS off, transponder off, and radio silence: there is no better way to scream for attention while flying through busy airspace.
mh370 - 196 - w :
We need to interpret MH370's flightpath differently: from the turn at waypoint Igari till the last turn that led towards the Southern Indian Ocean does not by default have to mean "rogue".
mh370 - 196 - x :
We need to interpret MH370's flightpath differently: the flightpath from the turn towards the Southern Indian Ocean till its crash-site stands out by inactivity in the cockpit: a strong suspicion flight MH370 was no longer under commanded.
mh370 - 196 - y :
If a pilot is at the point of killing all two hundred and thirty-eight people onboard, why than not take the shortest route to the crash-site instead.
mh370 - 196 - z :
It doesn't take a scientist to understand that: (1) whatever happened on-board it started between take-off from KLIA and Igari. (2) It resulted in the U-turn at Igari and navigating back via busy airspace without radio-communication. (3) it ended by the turn that led towards the Southern Indian Ocean. (4) The flight over the Indian Ocean is meaningless since at that stage flight MH370 was no longer under command.

mh370 - 172 - a :
The crime itself is too farfetched, it does not make any sense to deviate an airliner and then still fly it for about five hours on end to eventually crash in the middle of nowhere.
mh370 - 172 - b :
To commit such a crime (if it was one) requires thorough understanding on the side of the perpetrator on why he wants to commit it in the first place (given the magnitude of it all).
mh370 - 172 - c :
The perpetrator was completely off the chart in thinking we would understand MH370 going missing, since no one has got the slightest clue. The missing of MH370 is a clean sheet of paper.
mh370 - 172 - d :
This crime is too big to be one crime, it's more a sum of individual crimes. If one would create this crime in Excel one would require multiple sheets to come to this result.
mh370 - 172 - e :
The saner the perpetrator is, the higher the price-tag. Reviewing the facts about Captain Zaharie it is safe to say that this crime came at a cost (including his own life).
mh370 - 172 - f :
One of the most difficult parts of this crime is to fly hours on end over the Indian Ocean due to an uncertain end, including, the need to drown yourself or swim till you get exhausted.
mh370 - 172 - g :
What is impressive is that during the long Indian Ocean flight there is not even a tiny bit of doubt to be seen in the flightpath of MH370. If it wasn't for fuel exhaustion she would have flown around the world.
mh370 - 172 - h :
The highest risk to fail in making MH370 disappear is during the long Indian Ocean flight: such a long time for the rogue pilot to contemplate and to aboard suicide.
mh370 - 172 - i :
MH370's long Indian Ocean flight consists of two parts: the first part is when there is enough fuel to aboard and land safely, the second part starts after passing the point of safe return.
mh370 - 172 - j :
The second part of MH370's Indian Ocean flight (after passing the point of safe return) being the part where death is certain, it is the part where one can only scream.
mh370 - 172 - k :
The initial part of MH370's flight (between take-off and going around the tip of Sumatra) is sheer fun and excitement for any rogue pilot. Cowboy stuff. A joyride. The absence of Death.
mh370 - 172 - l :
Going around the tip of Sumatra and head south is where any rogue pilot will be thrilled for successfully having executed the first stage (of whatever it was that happened to MH370).
mh370 - 172 - m :
In the final stage of MH370's flight (passing the point of safe return), the rogue pilot was accompanied by a new passenger who brought peace of mind after months of planning: Death.
mh370 - 172 - n :
The rogue pilot feeling the accompanying of Death (after passing the point of safe return) must have changed the atmosphere in the cockpit. The strength it took to welcome Death.
mh370 - 172 - o :
Death confirming his presence in MH370's cockpit: a confirmation that MH370's end (in the way it was planned to be) is forthcoming.
mh370 - 172 - p :
Like Prince already sang in Sign O' The Times: "Some say a Man ain't happy unless a Man truly dies". Captain Zaharie, by far, had not yet reached the point of stepping out of this life.
mh370 - 172 - q :
When planning a crime (no matter the magnitude) there always is an objective, a reason to do so, a driving force to say. Something to set off the avalanche.
mh370 - 172 - r :
When you rob a bank, you want no one to find out it was you. Making MH370 disappear is hardly something you can stay unknown for.
mh370 - 172 - s :
It is easy to point the finger at Captain Zaharie for being the one who ended the lives of two hundred and thirty-eight passengers and crew and crashing MH370, since there is no one else around. Like Han said to Williams in Enter the Dragon: "You were the only man outside the palace (so it had to be you)".
mh370 - 172 - t :
It would have been much easier for the rogue pilot to have waited for a flight from KLIA heading west: these flights bring you immediately over the Malacca Straits after take-off and quickly (and legally) near the tip of Sumatra.
mh370 - 172 - u :
If the missing of MH370 is resembled by a campfire on the beach, then Captain Zaharie is resembled by soaking wet driftwood (i.e., it doesn't add up).
mh370 - 172 - v :
If a criminal enterprise was looking for a pilot to do to MH370 that what happened to it, they would not have considered putting Captain Zaharie on the list of possible candidates.
mh370 - 172 - w :
MH370's flight from take-off to getting near the tip of Sumatra does not need to be red-flagged: thorough not legit the reason for MH370 having this flightpath can have many reasons (all from which the two hundred and thirty-eight passengers and crew could have easily waked away from unharmed).
mh370 - 172 - x :
Don't say it was easy because there are not many captains around that end the lives of two hundred and thirty-eight passengers and crew, fly for hours on end over the Indian Ocean (without losing their mind), make a perfect water-landing and have strength left to finally drown oneself.
mh370 - 172 - y :
There are much easier flights than MH370 (flying from KLIA to BCIA) to disappear from radar and crash in the ocean. KLIA to BCIA is one of the more difficult routes to pull such a thing off.
mh370 - 172 - z :
Captain Zaharie could have rented a Cessna at any time and crash himself in the Indian Ocean if he wanted to (even more so when one is mentally ready to end his life in a dramatic way).

mh370 - 169 - a :
A tech-savvy captain killing himself (and everyone on his flight) in a sinister way while standing on the doorstep of a tech-savvy era. Not a logical thing to do for a tech-savvy person.
mh370 - 169 - b :
Being a tech-savvy Captain Zaharie had no good reason to drown himself far out in the Indian Ocean, given that he was surrounded by sparkling tech-stuff at home in Asia.
mh370 - 169 - c :
For a tech-savvy guy like Captain Zaharie not being able to enjoy life to the fullest in Asia is like a farmer in Minnesota (US) having a hard time finding proper farming land.
mh370 - 169 - d :
Things that can push a tech-savvy, who lives in tech-savvy heaven, to make plans to exit it in such a dark way.
mh370 - 169 - e :
Asia is tech-savvy heaven, a place that has everything. If a tech-savvy makes plans to leave it means that the tech-savvy makes a dramatic statement.
mh370 - 169 - f :
At times being a millionaire gets bored, no doubt the same goes for an outstanding tech-savvy Boeing 777 captain living in Malaysia.
mh370 - 169 - g :
A millionaire, at the end of the day, is nothing more than normal people are, meaning all millionaires (and Boeing 777 pilots) are equally haunted by emptiness regarding life.
mh370 - 169 - h :
Boredom alone will not result in a Boeing 777 going missing far out over the Indian Ocean. The act itself is off the chart. Not even terrorists would aim for such a lengthy end in the middle of nowhere.
mh370 - 169 - i :
When a rabbit is not willing to eat the carrot or salad leaf you put in front of its nose, you know something is off (and it isn't the carrot, nor the salad leaf).
mh370 - 169 - j :
Office people (doing the same thing day in and day out) have more suicidal thoughts and thoughts to kill colleagues than Boeing 777 captains do. Period.
mh370 - 169 - k :
For office people thinking about where to go and how to proceed in life is an ever-returning quest. Boeing 777 captains have a front-seat row every day, all day long.
mh370 - 169 - l :
For office people to heal from years on end of daily being around shitty colleagues and likewise managers they must get their pilot's licence and start flying Cessna's and gliders.
mh370 - 169 - m :
There are jobs in this world that everyone would like to have, being a test driver is one of them and being a Boeing 777 captain is another. Perhaps two of the most special ones are being a test pilot for military aircraft, and the other being an astronaut.
mh370 - 169 - n :
Take a commissioning engineering (working in the shipping industry), put him in the office by Monday and by Friday he starts to show signs of mental fatigue. Everyone has matching activities.
mh370 - 169 - o :
Take an office worker in the shipping industry, let him start work at the shipyard by Monday and if he doesn't get himself killed by heavy machinery and high voltage before Friday, he will be crying on Saturday. Everyone has matching activities.
mh370 - 169 - p :
Becoming who you need to be and doing the job you're most suited to do will always make your life great and worth living. Everyone rushing every morning to a job they don't want to do knows this.
mh370 - 169 - q :
When life gets dark (and it will from time to time) being who you need to be and doing the job most suited for you will counter-balance that darkness (even though it may not feel that way).
mh370 - 169 - r :
You cannot say that because Captain Zaharie was the pilot it must have been him. The mental state needed, and the time involved to execute are so demanding that it takes a whole lot more than just "being the pilot".
mh370 - 169 - s :
From a racial point of view: Captain Zaharie's skin pigmentation is about colour, piloting MH370 into oblivion far out over the Indian Ocean is about mental strength. One does not imply the other.
mh370 - 169 - t :
No matter how rogue Captain Zaharie might have gotten, his skills would have remained unaffected, they would merely have been put to a different use: one cannot escape oneself.
mh370 - 169 - u :
Where during the long Indian Ocean flight shines the tech-savvy captain in through. Is it perhaps in optimising fuel-efficiency to achieve a hard-to-believe-range. There must be some tech-savvy aspects to it else Captain Zaharie would have died of boredom before fuel exhaustion happened.
mh370 - 169 - v :
At what point in making MH370 disappear shines the tech-savvy captain in through. Certainly not the Indian Ocean flight since not much is going on there.
mh370 - 169 - w :
For the man Captain Zaharie was known for, with all his skills, interests and personality, what better job was there for him than being a captain of a Boeing 777. None, that is.
mh370 - 169 - x :
Flying an aircraft is tech-savvy stuff; air temperature, humidity, turbulence, snow, hail, communications, navigating, planning, taking nothing for granted, and the list goes on. There isn't a tech-savvy job around that can equal being a Boeing 777 pilot other than being an astronaut.
mh370 - 169 - y :
Captain Zaharie was a skilled pilot passionate about flying, he was right on track for thirty years already and still gaining altitude, and so; how does MH370 going missing originates from such a person.
mh370 - 169 - z :
If this would have happened with a pilot from Qantas the same strong opinions about the captain would never have existed.

mh370 - 167 - a :
Today, almost six years ago, Captain Zaharie woke up and, according to some, said to himself: "Blimey, what a beautiful day to write history".
mh370 - 167 - b :
March 7, 2014. Apparently, a beautiful day for Captain Zaharie to rise, shine and to make history (at the cost of killing himself that is).
mh370 - 167 - c :
Captain Zaharie, are you awake already? Today is March 7, 2014. A sunny morning. History will be written, provided you are strong enough to kill the 238 passengers and crew on your flight, have strength left to fly for hours on end over the Indian Ocean, make a perfect water-landing, and finally, drown yourself amidst the aircraft you love and amidst 238 corpes. What a day this will be.
mh370 - 167 - d :
Even on March 7, 2014, breakfast had to be made. Captain Zaharie (a chef the cuisine) would most likely not have settled for just a bowl of cereal.
mh370 - 167 - e :
On the morning of March 7, 2014, one knew he would not be able to have dinner in the cockpit of MH370 that night. So, the focus would have been on having a good breakfast that morning.
mh370 - 167 - f :
Almost six years ago (March 7, 2014) someone knowingly woke to a very special morning. But it is questionable one would have been able to swallow his breakfast. Most likely breakfast only consisted out of vitamin pills.
mh370 - 167 - g :
Can you imagine you waking up one day and say: "Wow, didn't there just popup the greatest idea in my head"; "Fly out over the Indian Ocean, wreck the aircraft I love, and then drown myself".
mh370 - 167 - h :
Purpose. Only if there is a purpose, something that makes sense, on why to do to MH370 that what happened to it, would that someone has risen and shone to the morning of March 7, 2014.
mh370 - 167 - i :
Would Captain Zaharie have had a job interview on the morning of March 7, 2014, he would not have been his normal self, in a natural way, like all of us do when going to a job interview.
mh370 - 167 - j :
The sheer number of mornings it took for Captain Zaharie to plan that what has happened to MH370, must have been more than fifteen. Most probably it would have taken him at least six months.
mh370 - 167 - k :
One does not wake up one day and thinks about taking the lives of 238 passengers and crew, and on top of that one's own life. One has many days prior to that with such thoughts on one's mind.
mh370 - 167 - l :
Every man needs to be motivated to get out of bed every morning, no exception, also not for Captain Zaharie, and certainly not on the morning of March 7, 2014.
mh370 - 167 - m :
If one, at a certain morning, gets out of bed and is in a state of getting ready to drown oneself and kill 238 others in the process, one must have had many non-inspirational mornings months prior to that.
mh370 - 167 - n :
Take-offs do not get dull, not even for experienced pilots. airliners.net, 9M-MRO take-off.
mh370 - 167 - o :
To be able to fly is a much wished ability for all human beings (by default). For a professional pilot like Captain Zaharie to give that up on the morning of March 7, 2014, is highly unlikely.
mh370 - 167 - p :
9M-MRO (the Boeing 777-200ER flying flight MH370), a picture to put in a frame. airliners.net, 9M-MRO.
mh370 - 167 - q :
Knowing you are going to fly this airliner puts a smile on every captain's face, even on March 7 2014. airliners.net, 9M-MRO.
mh370 - 167 - r :
For any captain who flies RC aircrafts in his spare time, like Captain Zaharie did, is a clear indication to any top-level psychologist that one (by far) is not yet being bored with flying, nor with live itself.
mh370 - 167 - s :
For any captain to fly RC aircrafts in his spare time indicates that such a pilot can't get enough of flying. To them flying is a state in which their being is aligned with their existence: it is a fabulous state to be in.
mh370 - 167 - t :
Just because we are talking about Captain Zaharie does not change anything about anything: on the level of the soul (, existence and purpose in life) double standards are inferior.
mh370 - 167 - u :
All pilots, no matter how rogue, will always make use of (self-defined) waypoints and a destination when planning a flight: it's embedded in their being to do so, a reflex one could say.
mh370 - 167 - v :
If one decides that, one the morning of March 7, 2014, the time has come to execute the carefully planned plan, means that there was also a morning, some time back, when the idea popped up in that person's head.
mh370 - 167 - w :
For Captain Zaharie to give up in such an abrupt and dramatic way (drowning himself and killing 238 people prior to that), is something that doesn't make any sense.
mh370 - 167 - x :
Wanting to solve the mystery surrounding MH370 one needs to find the thing with a price tag to fly out over the Indian Ocean (for hours on end), make a water-landing and drown oneself and kill 238 people (who one has safeguarded his whole career) in the process.
mh370 - 167 - y :
Not only did Captain Zaharie woke up to mornings where he could look forward to command a Boeing 777, but also, moving to the next level: being a Type Rating Instructor and Examiner.
mh370 - 167 - z :
Captain Zaharie was still on the rise (commanding flights and training pilots): it's any passionate-about-flying pilot's career path that have a hands-on mentality. And there is Captain Zaharie drowning himself, after wrecking the aircraft he liked so much and killing 238 people he has safeguarded for so many years. One needs some pretty good superglue to make those two things stick together.

mh370 - 166 - a :
If evidence and expert opinion indicate that MH370 made a water-landing, that in itself does not have to be interpreted as a bad thing.
mh370 - 166 - b :
It is the instinctive reaction, a reflex so to say, of any captain to try and execute a proper water-landing when no other option is available.
mh370 - 166 - c :
It can very well be that it was Captain Zaharie who made the water-landing without having criminal intentions.
mh370 - 166 - d :
Captain Zaharie could have regained control over the cockpit when MH370 ran out of fuel, leaving a water-landing the only available option.
mh370 - 166 - e :
It takes a clear head and a steady hand to make a successful water-landing just minutes after you regained control over the cockpit.
mh370 - 166 - f :
Only a professional mindset will tell a captain to put all effort on making a successful water-landing.
mh370 - 166 - g :
In a skilled pilot's mind, instant thinking tells him that the only way they can be found is when the Boeing 777 rests on the seabed in one piece.
mh370 - 166 - h :
Only a Boeing 777 that lies on the seabed in, largely, one piece has a good chance of being found by vessels like the Seabed Constructor. Oceaninfinity.com, Technology.
mh370 - 166 - i :
It says nowhere that all the manoeuvres MH370 made were executed by one and the same person.
mh370 - 166 - j :
Apart from take-off, it is technically possible for any Boeing 777 to fly the known route of MH370 by autopilot only.
mh370 - 166 - k :
After MH370 made the turn at the tip of Sumatra, all seems to be idle in the cockpit. The water-landing is the only sign of life in the cockpit.
mh370 - 166 - l :
Of all manoeuvres MH370 made only the Indian Ocean flight looks unnatural: it does not show a sign of life in the cockpit.
mh370 - 166 - m :
Any airliner that gets into trouble over water will perform a water-landing when it cannot continue. No exception.
mh370 - 166 - n :
Airliners that have lost the ability to perform a water-landing will crash violently.
mh370 - 166 - o :
It is a bit surprising that the rogue pilot did not get a nervous breakdown during the long Indian Ocean flight.
mh370 - 166 - p :
Flying for hours to a place where you know you will die is not an easy task, let alone performing a water-landing a few minutes prior to that.
mh370 - 166 - q :
Larry Vance is very clear in his interview: the damage on the flaperon is the fingerprint of a water-landing. Larry Vance, Der Spiegel.
mh370 - 166 - r :
The rogue pilot being afraid that the debris field will give away the crash site, so he decides to execute a water-landing.
mh370 - 166 - s :
Planning a crash site far out in the Indian Ocean, to hide a debris field, is the reasoning of a pilot who cannot perform a water-landing.
mh370 - 166 - t :
A pilot who feels confident in performing a water-landing could also have tried it halfway MH370's Indian Ocean trajectory.
mh370 - 166 - u :
No rogue pilot, confident in performing a water-landing, would wait for MH370 to nearly run out of fuel to only then commence the water-landing.
mh370 - 166 - v :
Experts can point out locations far out in the Indian Ocean where a Boeing 777's debris field can dissolve without getting noticed by anyone.
mh370 - 166 - w :
A well-executed water-landing requires the rogue pilot to open MH370's doors for it to sink rapidly.
mh370 - 166 - x :
Flying far out over the Indian Ocean and perform a water-landing is easier than facing death by drowning once MH370 starts to sink.
mh370 - 166 - y :
The rogue pilot's body and mind will not resist while flying far out over the Indian Ocean, but they will fight him when he is about to drown.
mh370 - 166 - z :
Had Captain Zaharie assisted in today's search for MH370, he would have labelled a water-landing almost opposite MH370's original flightpath to BCIA (the area Seabed Constructor investigated) as too coincidental for it being the result of rogue flying.

mh370 - 165 - a :
It should be looked at if MH370's Indian Ocean trajectory roughly looks like the reversed pathway from KLIA to BCIA.
mh370 - 165 - b :
Ask any pilot what he/she would choose as a rogue trajectory over the Indian Ocean. Very unlikely they would choose MH370's trajectory.
mh370 - 165 - c :
Most pilots will choose a rogue trajectory that goes from KLIA towards Madagascar, or at least somewhere in that direction.
mh370 - 165 - d :
Had the rogue pilot any compassion about leaving a clue on where to find MH370, then reversing pathway KLIA to BCIA would be it.
mh370 - 165 - e :
Ocean Infinity's research team should extend the line BCIA to KLIA till its reaches the search arc. A potential new search area.
mh370 - 165 - f :
There must be something, some way of thinking, which results in finding the correct search area.
mh370 - 165 - g :
Once MH370 went around the tip of Sumatra it gently retook a route opposite to its original trajectory to BCIA.
mh370 - 165 - h :
Had MH370's route been more in the direction of Madagascar, the current search arc would have laid more to the West.
mh370 - 165 - i :
Even a rogue pilot wanting to plot a course towards oblivion, still must draw a trajectory towards it.
mh370 - 165 - j :
Choosing the Roaring Forties as the place to water-land seems unlikely: violent waters do not make great water-landing sites. Roaring Forties.
mh370 - 165 - k :
Projecting the Inmarsat ping in case MH370 would have had its maximum fuel load, MH370 would have gone beyond the current search area.
mh370 - 165 - l :
A reversed trajectory from Igari to BCIA makes a second potential search area where the line crosses the current search arc.
mh370 - 165 - m :
All pilots carry a natural feeling of unease towards long pathways over water: no place to land in case of an emergency.
mh370 - 165 - n :
If a trajectory to a crash site in the Indian Ocean was made, it was done so on a paper chart with a ruler, a pencil and a cup of tea.
mh370 - 165 - o :
On the paper chart, used for MH370 rogue flying, there were at least three marks: KLIA, Igari and BCIA.
mh370 - 165 - p :
Only on a paper chart that has those three marks on it (KLIA, Igari, BCIA) can a trajectory towards a point on the search arc be born.
mh370 - 165 - q :
KLIA, Igari, BCIA and reversing MH370's trajectory are all part of the equation that will lead to MH370's whereabouts on the search arc.
mh370 - 165 - r :
If KLIA, Igari and BCIA were not used, then the equation says to look on the search arc, but, on the opposite site of the current search area.
mh370 - 165 - s :
The current search area is the only area that can be reached by a rogue pilot, or a technical failure combined with a pilot's head trauma.
mh370 - 165 - t :
An empty canvas, a clean paper chart i.e., is the hardest canvas there is to start drawing on. Any painter of writer will concur.
mh370 - 165 - u :
Predefined marks on an otherwise clean canvas will always play a part in the final drawing of a painter or writer.
mh370 - 165 - v :
A paper chart used for the missing of MH370 had the predefined marks KLIA, Igari, BCIA on it, waiting to be used.
mh370 - 165 - w :
Most likely the reversed route of KLIA to BCIA, or Igari to BCIA, comes closest to pinpointing MH370's last known location above the Indian Ocean.
mh370 - 165 - x :
A rogue pilot pulling a prank would have definitely used the marks KLIA, Igari and BCIA to set out MH370's trajectory above the Indian Ocean.
mh370 - 165 - y :
The search arc is known, so is MH370's original destination, BCIA that is. Draw a tangent line from BCIA to the search arc.
mh370 - 165 - z :
Had Captain Zaharie assisted in today's search for MH370, he would not have seen the logic in choosing the current search area as MH370's crash site. Too close to Perth.

mh370 - 164 - a :
Ocean Infinity tracking down MH370. Ocean Infinity, MH370.
mh370 - 164 - b :
Professional good-natured captains all show a great feeling of responsibility. Captain Zaharie and the captains of the Seabed Constructor share that same mindset.
mh370 - 164 - c :
The only remains the Seabed Constructor will find, if any, are the remains of a perfectly executed plan.
mh370 - 164 - d :
The Seabed Constructor finding MH370 largely intact will put Captain Zaharie on top of the list of pilots skilled enough to perform an open ocean water-landing.
mh370 - 164 - e :
During the Indian Ocean flight of MH370, the rogue pilot looked down quite a few times, knowing, one day the Seabed Constructor will track me down.
mh370 - 164 - f :
In the rogue pilot's mind, flying out over the Indian Ocean as far as possible increases the search radius for advanced oceanographic vessels.
mh370 - 164 - g :
The rogue pilot keeping MH370 in one piece, by executing a skilled water-landing, is compassion towards the World, i.e., easier to track down than fragmented pieces.
mh370 - 164 - h :
MH370 being lost forever was never an option for the rogue pilot. Even the rogue pilot new that.
mh370 - 164 - i :
To us the deployment of the Seabed Constructor was an unknown option, but the rogue pilot had already foreseen the deployment of such vessels.
mh370 - 164 - j :
Someday somehow MH370 will be found in case a good water-landing would be executed. The rogue pilot is not stupid, he knew.
mh370 - 164 - k :
The rogue pilot is like the Easter bunny who is hiding his eggs. Hiding eggs so a fun search can commence.
mh370 - 164 - l :
No Easter bunny hides eggs in such a way that they never will be found. There is no point in doing so, not for the people looking for the eggs and not for the Easter bunny himself.
mh370 - 164 - m :
Having switch off ACARS and the transponder, the rogue pilot assumed he flew unseen. It is from that perspective that one has to interpret MH370's trajectory.
mh370 - 164 - n :
Flying unseen, taking the lives of 238 passengers and crew and performing a skilled water-landing: the rogue pilot is not acting as a drunk driver hitting a young child.
mh370 - 164 - o :
The Seabed Constructor is a foreseen player on a board game set up by the rogue pilot.
mh370 - 164 - p :
The rogue pilot's board game is not checkers nor chess: he set up a tech-savvy board game.
mh370 - 164 - q :
Shattering MH370 into a million pieces over the Indian Ocean does not make much of a board game.
mh370 - 164 - r :
From a conspiracy point of view, Ocean Infinity's corporate value will be rock solid once they find MH370.
mh370 - 164 - s :
From a daily point of view: cheers for you Ocean Infinity when you find MH370.
mh370 - 164 - t :
The rogue pilot giving his life for a prosperous business growth of Ocean Infinity. No, it does not add up. It lacks personal gain.
mh370 - 164 - u :
The rogue pilot decided to fly-out over the Indian Ocean as far as possible. A water-landing half way would also have done the job.
mh370 - 164 - v :
Ocean Infinity might need to add to their equation that the rogue pilot anticipated their involvement.
mh370 - 164 - w :
Tech-savvy Captain Zaharie, whatever his role was, would have considered it a compliment to have been tracked down by the Seabed Constructor.
mh370 - 164 - x :
The rogue pilot knows: if I land MH370 skilfully on the Indian Ocean, it will be found. He expects to be found.
mh370 - 164 - y :
The Seabed Constructor finding MH370 will be a relief to us all. Yet, it might then turn out that the rogue pilot's board game is only have way.
mh370 - 164 - z :
No pilot, not even a rogue one, will freely raise his hand to land a Boeing 777 in the middle of nowhere on the Indian Ocean.

mh370 - 163 - a :
Nice photos on Ocean Infinity's website about their seabed exploration activities. Ocean Infinity, Company.
mh370 - 163 - b :
Flying up and down between Perth and South Africa gives one's brain enough time to think about crashing in the Indian Ocean.
mh370 - 163 - c :
Flying daily between KLIA and BCIA one encounters only things like: great food, new people, the joy of traveling, great atmosphere and positive stimulus.
mh370 - 163 - d :
Captain Zaharie would have overhauled Ocean Infinity's website for it to fully portray Ocean Infinity's expertise and strength for seabed exploration.
mh370 - 163 - e :
Captain Zaharie, having seen Ocean Infinity's website, set up a plan to enforce the deployment of the Seabed Constructor.
mh370 - 163 - f :
The truth is that Captain Zaharie would have happily assisted the Seabed Constructor in his off-time.
mh370 - 163 - g :
The Seabed Constructor will like the waters surrounding Malaysia. Lots of objects and seabed details to discover.
mh370 - 163 - h :
If MH370 really crashed in the Indian Ocean, it crashed right in the middle of the Seabed Constructor's domain.
mh370 - 163 - i :
The Seabed Constructor is built for life at sea, MH370 is not.
mh370 - 163 - j :
The Seabed Constructor has refuelling capabilities, MH370 has not.
mh370 - 163 - k :
ACARS and a transponder are only needed in aviation due to the speed airliners carry. In shipping a radar and a VHF radio will do, since vessels move at much lower speed.
mh370 - 163 - l :
Had Captain Zaharie brought scuba gear with him, it would have been seen as a smoking gun.
mh370 - 163 - m :
Captain Zaharie opening the emergency exit near the wings and jumping out with a parachute. That is a typical Tintin escape scenario.
mh370 - 163 - n :
The best view of MH370 slowly sinking, after a water-landing on the Indian Ocean, is being in the water with scuba gear.
mh370 - 163 - o :
Being able to watch MH370 glide into the depth of the Indian Ocean is the final stage of any rogue pilot. The final stage of a master plan.
mh370 - 163 - p :
Not being able to watch MH370 glide into the depth does not bring closure for one who carefully planned the missing of MH370.
mh370 - 163 - q :
If another MAS pilot had commanded MH370, then the odds that Captain Zaharie would have helped with the search would have been high.
mh370 - 163 - r :
Captain Zaharie would have joined the Seabed Constructor, being one of MAS' most experienced and technically skilled pilots.
mh370 - 163 - s :
He who is involved in the missing of MH370, and was not on board, are following the proceedings of the Seabed Constructor closely.
mh370 - 163 - t :
The rogue pilot has screamed the names of his accomplices while MH370 went down. Now logged in the cockpit voice recorder.
mh370 - 163 - u :
In case of accomplices, somewhere someone is getting stressed watching the Seabed Constructor tracking down MH370.
mh370 - 163 - v :
When MH370 is found, there will be a note in the cockpit saying that it was never meant to end like this.
mh370 - 163 - w :
Had Captain Zaharie assisted in the search then for sure he would have simulated possible scenarios on his home simulator of MH370 going down.
mh370 - 163 - x :
Had Captain Zaharie assisted in the search, this skilled and tech-savvy pilot would have been an important member of the Seabed Constructor's crew.
mh370 - 163 - y :
Assisting in the search for MH370, Captain Zaharie would have tried to crawl into the mind of the rogue pilot to figure out where the crash site is.
mh370 - 163 - z :
Captain Zaharie is not unfamiliar with water. In his time off he combined the two: flying the gorgeous PBY Catalina. Captain-Zaharie, talented hobbieist.

mh370 - 162 - a :
Captain Zaharie, an intelligent and skilled pilot, not foreseeing the arrival of the Seabed Constructor seems unlikely.
mh370 - 162 - b :
Tech-savvy Captain Zaharie beaten by the Seabed Constructor. Well, it makes a catchy headline.
mh370 - 162 - c :
MH370 versus the Seabed Constructor. An airliner versus a vessel. A captain against a few captains and a large crew.
mh370 - 162 - d :
An airliner's flight data and cockpit voice recorder against a vessel's voyage date recorder.
mh370 - 162 - e :
Kerosene against heavy fuel oil. Eight hours of flight against three weeks of Indian Ocean sailing.
mh370 - 162 - f :
Loss of engine and consequently crashing against loss of engine power and staying afloat.
mh370 - 162 - g :
Being able to fly above the clouds against sailing in the mist.
mh370 - 162 - h :
Tech-savvy Captain Zaharie anticipating the deployment of multiple Seabed Constructor type vessels: a race against the flight data recorder's limited battery lifespan.
mh370 - 162 - i :
Being able to turn off its transponder against being able to turn off its AIS.
mh370 - 162 - j :
Less margin for an airliner to deviate from its original course against a fairly larger manoeuvrability margin of a vessel.
mh370 - 162 - k :
When an airliner crashes in the Indian Ocean, seagulls try to eat its debris, against when a vessel sinks in the Indian Ocean, marine-life make it their home.
mh370 - 162 - l :
The ready to eat meals onboard MH370 against the actual real full-sized kitchen and freshly prepared meals onboard the Seabed Constructor.
mh370 - 162 - m :
In an airliner it is possible to deliberately depressurize the fuselage against only a submarine having that option, I guess.
mh370 - 162 - n :
With an airliner it is possible to rapidly kill all passengers and crew by crashing it against the will of a vessel to stay afloat, no matter what manoeuvres you execute.
mh370 - 162 - o :
An airliner that goes missing over the Indian Ocean does not return in one piece against a vessel's ability to wash ashore after it went missing for many years.
mh370 - 162 - p :
MH370 is not build to take on the Indian Ocean against the Seabed Constructor being built exactly for that purpose.
mh370 - 162 - q :
An airliner needs a lot of thrust for it get airborne against the effortless ability of a vessel to stay afloat.
mh370 - 162 - r :
Clues that an airliner crashed in the Indian Ocean might wash up on shore against when a vessel sinks everything goes down to the bottom with it.
mh370 - 162 - s :
MH370 lacks search capabilities against the Seabed Constructor having the latest systems to do so.
mh370 - 162 - t :
After lift-off an airliner is always filled with activities against when a vessel has departed a harbour all becomes quiet on board.
mh370 - 162 - u :
The only way for MH370 to escape the Seabed Constructor is making sure it fractures in a million pieces when it hits the Indian Ocean.
mh370 - 162 - v :
The ability of an airliner to fracture into a million pieces against the non-fractural solid structure of a vessel.
mh370 - 162 - w :
The roaring sound of an airliner's turbine engines, against the majestic sound of a vessel's diesel engine.
mh370 - 162 - x :
Having to stay strapped in your seat against the freedom to move around on a vessel.
mh370 - 162 - y :
Having to use headphones with noise cancellation against the ability to go outside and listen to the haul of whales.
mh370 - 162 - z :
Always having to work by protocols and checklist against the more leisure way of going about on a vessel.

mh370 - 161 - a :
Neat trick switching off the transponder. Timeline 06:52 Four Corners, LOST: MH370. @4corners
mh370 - 161 - b :
We all remember how much fun it was to do things in class that we were not allowed to do. Things that are prohibited always attract.
mh370 - 161 - c :
Of all the buttons and switches that reside in the cockpit, switching off the transponder must be one that screams: prohibited.
mh370 - 161 - d :
In an emergency the transponder switch can be easily mistaken for being the switch of another device.
mh370 - 161 - e :
The transponder switch is located near systems that a captain, and co-pilot, quickly need to reach in case of an emergency.
mh370 - 161 - f :
If one really wanted to have fun, one could also have activated the landing gear in the last stage above the Indian Ocean.
mh370 - 161 - g :
If destruction is on one's mind, ripping the plane apart by activating the landing gear at 35000 feet and high speed fits that mindset.
mh370 - 161 - h :
But yes, flying MH370 as an air glider in the last stage above the Indian Ocean is a much more calculated, a more thought-out, end for MH370.
mh370 - 161 - i :
One of the most spectacular things a captain in a Boeing 777 can experience is flying it as an air glider.
mh370 - 161 - j :
Touching the transponder switch, making a sharp left turn at Igari, rogue flying: flight MH370 underwent it all.
mh370 - 161 - k :
In a way it can be said that, whoever commanded MH370, fully cannibalised this flight: nothing was left to waste.
mh370 - 161 - l :
It's like shooting a deer Native American style: if we kill it, we will not waste a single part of it.
mh370 - 161 - m :
Had MH370 returned to its original trajectory, after the transponder was switched off, the whole thing would have been filed as an incident.
mh370 - 161 - n :
Cannibalising a commercial flight does not mean literally eating it, it means doing the things one is not allowed to do. A bit like a joyride.
mh370 - 161 - o :
It takes quite some consideration to cannibalise MH370 from what we know so far: switching off ACARS and the transponder.
mh370 - 161 - p :
Give one the freedom to cannibalise a commercial flight: switching off ACARS and the transponder are not likely to make the top of the list.
mh370 - 161 - q :
ACARS and the transponder are systems that one only comes across when preparing the airliner for departure. No one bothers remembering them afterwards.
mh370 - 161 - r :
Nowadays truckers are constantly being tracked by their bosses through GPS. Many truckers feel the GPS takes always their freedom.
mh370 - 161 - s :
For many truckers getting their freedom back can only be achieved by jamming the GPS tracker or by turning it off.
mh370 - 161 - t :
A GPS tracker is constantly in the trucker's face, every day, every hour. ACARS and the transponder on an airliner are not such systems.
mh370 - 161 - u :
ACARS and the transponder can hardly be seen as systems that are in the pilot's face the entire flight. No mental issues there.
mh370 - 161 - v :
One must seriously have issues, in a mental way, with the ACARS and the transponder to choose those systems to be turned off.
mh370 - 161 - w :
Perhaps ACARS and the transponder are the only systems onboard an airliner that can be switched off without harming the pilot himself.
mh370 - 161 - x :
ACARS and the transponder are, without doubt, the only systems on board an airliner that, when switched off, make you feel the airliner is yours.
mh370 - 161 - y :
Cannibalising an airliner for your own sake is one. Taking 238 passengers and crew with you is something else. Two completely different things.
mh370 - 161 - z :
Your mind is either set to cannibalise an airliner, or it is set to killing its 238 passengers and crew. Psychologically they differ.

mh370 - 160 - b :
No captain likes to sit in the passenger seat. Captain Zaharie is not different in that.
mh370 - 160 - c :
Sitting in the passenger seat can be agonising, especially when contemplating your plan for MH370 and your daughter is at your side.
mh370 - 160 - d :
For the man Captain Zaharie was, setting aside all his professionalism and responsibility was not easily done.
mh370 - 160 - e :
More dramatic would it have been, from a mental point of view, if this picture is the result of a selfie.
mh370 - 160 - f :
No dad, and captain, can enjoy taking such a photo and still love working on the plan of crashing MH370.
mh370 - 160 - g :
The proud dad in this photo will only do what has happened to MH370 if you hold a gun to his head.
mh370 - 160 - h :
The proud dad in this photo will only do what has happened to MH370 if you hold a gun to his daughter's head.
mh370 - 160 - i :
Everything has a price, but the price of making a loving parent doing things is always a bargain if one threatens one's family.
mh370 - 160 - j :
Seeking inspiration on making a watertight plan for MH370, this photo would never have been placed at Captain Zaharie's desk.
mh370 - 160 - k :
When one plans to set aside one's self, one's soul, for good, it can be done best by cutting oneself off from friends and family.
mh370 - 160 - l :
The mental profile of one unwillingly planning an horrific crime is: deep internal sadness.
mh370 - 160 - m :
Loss of taste is one of the first signs of a person suffering from mental pain.
mh370 - 160 - n :
In Captain Zaharie's case: loss of the joy of flying would have been the first sign that his professionalism as a pilot was breaking down.
mh370 - 160 - o :
Had Captain Zaharie saved MH370 and all its 238 passengers and crew, this photo would be a proper fit on the cover of TIME Magazine. @TIME
mh370 - 160 - p :
Captain Zaharie, the pilot who lost it. Well, not on this photo he did.
mh370 - 160 - q :
Planning that what has happened to MH370 takes a lot of time and energy. Things that would have shown up on any photo of Captain Zaharie.
mh370 - 160 - r :
This photo does not fit any stage of MH370's flight since it took off from KLIA on March 8, 2014, and eventually ended in the Indian Ocean.
mh370 - 160 - s :
It is said that a photo can say more than a thousand words. Well, whatever this photo says they are positive words for sure.

mh370 - 160 - u :
Besides #mh370-157a to z, the photo of the flaperon found at Réunion Island is easily cover worthy. @TIME
mh370 - 160 - v :
The photo of the flaperon found at Réunion Island and the photo of MH370-160a do not mingle, not aesthetically and not editorially.
mh370 - 160 - w :
The photo of the flaperon found at Réunion Island and the photo of Captain Zaharie and his daughter, both tell a different story.
mh370 - 160 - x :
The photo of Captain Zaharie and his daughter can be prominently placed among their family photos.
mh370 - 160 - y :
Whatever the outcome is of the search for MH370, the photo of Captain Zaharie and his daughter is definitely one by which Captain Zaharie's daughter can remember her father.
mh370 - 160 - z :
A positive remembrance of their father, that is what this photo of Captain Zaharie and his daughter will be.

mh370 - 159 - a :
Goodnight Malaysia three seven zero. Presumably Captain Zaharie's last words. Timeline 6:34 Four Corners, LOST: MH370.
mh370 - 159 - b :
Goodnight Malaysia three seven zero. Dear captain you are about to make history. Your last words may have a bit more of a byte.
mh370 - 159 - c :
Goodnight Malaysia three seven zero. He could have said: "Forgive me...Goodnight Malaysia three seven zero".
mh370 - 159 - d :
Goodnight Malaysia three seven zero, instead of "Finally, after waiting such a long time. Goodnight Malaysia three seven zero!".
mh370 - 159 - e :
Imagine how many years of "Goodnight Malaysia three seven zero" Captain Zaharie must have said in his outstanding career.
mh370 - 159 - f :
Imagine one flying MH375 more frequently than MH370. "Goodnight Malaysia three seven five" could easily have been said that night.
mh370 - 159 - g :
No one wonders how many times Captain Zaharie has flown MH370 prior to March 8, 2014.
mh370 - 159 - h :
Killing 238 passengers and crew, and oneself, in an unfamiliar airliner while being sane: I don't think so. One does such things in one's comfort zone.
mh370 - 159 - i :
Being a professional pilot is like being a professional police officer: it runs through your veins, going against it feels unnatural.
mh370 - 159 - j :
No one wonders which route from KLIA Captain Zaharie has most flown most and what his preferred flight from KLIA was.
mh370 - 159 - k :
No need to panic if it turns out Captain Zaharie has flown the most often from KLIA to BCIA: it means the trouble on board MH370 was like never seen before.
mh370 - 159 - l :
Only a pilot with a lot of experience on a certain route can put together a plan to deviate a fully loaded airliner in case of trouble.
mh370 - 159 - m :
Goodnight Malaysia three seven zero could have been: "Goodnight Malaysia three seven zero. Tell my family I love them".
mh370 - 159 - n :
Goodnight Malaysia three seven zero could have been: "Goodnight Malaysia three seven zero. Do not judge me".
mh370 - 159 - o :
Goodnight Malaysia three seven zero => "Goodnight Malaysia three seven zero. Luctor et emergo".
mh370 - 159 - p :
Captain Zaharie please tell the world a bit more: give us a bit more of a Hollywood signing off line.
mh370 - 159 - q :
Goodnight Malaysia three seven zero => "Goodnight Malaysia three seven zero. Tell Larry Vance Captain Zaharie said hi".
mh370 - 159 - r :
Goodnight Malaysia three seven zero => "Goodnight Malaysia three seven zero. Tell Blaine Alan Gibson I love his comment: ...That's not enough". Blaine Alan Gibson, solo mission to find to the wreckage of flight MH370.
mh370 - 159 - s :
Goodnight Malaysia three seven zero => "Goodnight Malaysia three seven zero. Tell Bobby Jagernath his tweets are getting boring".
mh370 - 159 - t :
Goodnight Malaysia three seven zero => "Goodnight Malaysia three seven zero. Thank you for all the great years. Fly save".
mh370 - 159 - u :
Goodnight Malaysia three seven zero => "Goodnight Malaysia three seven zero. Actually, I would rather have flown Malaysia three seven five".
mh370 - 159 - v :
Goodnight Malaysia three seven zero => "Goodnight Malaysia three seven zero. Qantas is the best".
mh370 - 159 - w :
Goodnight Malaysia three seven zero => "Goodnight Malaysia three seven zero. Do not wait up for me".
mh370 - 159 - x :
Goodnight Malaysia three seven zero => "Goodnight Malaysia three seven zero. Enjoy your Penang Hokkien Mee". rasamalaysia.com, recipe penang hokkien mee prawn noodle.
mh370 - 159 - y :
Goodnight Malaysia three seven zero => "Goodnight Malaysia three seven zero. And please do not touch my flight simulator".
mh370 - 159 - z :
Goodnight Malaysia three seven zero actually means just that: "Goodnight Malaysia three seven zero. See you when I see you".

mh370 - 158 - b :
With his daughter traveling frequently by airliner Captain Zaharie must have often prayed his daughter not being in a crash.
mh370 - 158 - c :
If Captain Zaharie planned all this for MH370 then for sure, the loving father he was, he would not want his family on board MH370.
mh370 - 158 - d :
For one to deliberately crash a commanding flight, while one's family is onboard, one must be mentally ill or filled with hate.
mh370 - 158 - e :
For Captain Zaharie to smile like that in front of the camera shows his confidence in being able to crash MH370. Unstoppable.
mh370 - 158 - f :
Look how peaceful and natural Captain Zaharie's smile and facial expression are. That cannot be faked: his plane for MH370 was finalized.
mh370 - 158 - g :
The brown sweater of Captain Zaharie says it all: this photo shoot was planned and not spontaneous.
mh370 - 158 - h :
The blur effect indicates that whoever took the photos had skill and good taste.
mh370 - 158 - i :
Captain Zaharie's state of mind while being with his daughter is that of a proud father. Fathers who have a daughter recognise this.
mh370 - 158 - j :
The blackish background and Captain Zaharie's brown sweater go well together: it creates that casual active look.
mh370 - 158 - k :
Matter of fact, it might very well be that the place where this picture was taken will become a popular place to visit.
mh370 - 158 - l :
Captain Zaharie certainly must have tasted the dynamic of Dubai and must have been attracted to it.
mh370 - 158 - m :
It cannot be Captain Zaharie did not visit Dubai. For sure he must have seen great places for his photo shoot there.
mh370 - 158 - n :
If this picture was a selfie made by Captain Zaharie it speaks of good photographic taste.
mh370 - 158 - o :
Racism sees what racism wants to see.
mh370 - 158 - p :
Incompetence only takes you so far.
mh370 - 158 - q :
The man is this picture has no reason at all to divert a fully loaded airliner and kill everyone onboard, including himself.
mh370 - 158 - r :
If the man in this picture is labelled as a suicidal murderer then almost every household on this planet has a murderous father.
mh370 - 158 - s :
This photo shoot must have more pictures. But most likely this picture says it all: "No worries, I will land MH370 save and sound".
mh370 - 158 - t :
I have a responsibility to my daughter and all fathers alike: that is what this picture says.
mh370 - 158 - u :
The tech-savvy Captain Zaharie would hit it off quite well with Elon Musk.
mh370 - 158 - v :
Had Captain Zaharie succeeded in returning MH370, after it veered off over the Indian Ocean, he would have visited Musk's SpaceX.
mh370 - 158 - w :
The captain who returned MH370 safely, after it veered off over the Indian Ocean, deserves a photo shoot on SpaceX's property.
mh370 - 158 - x :
It cannot be that tech-savvy Captain Zaharie got bored with life when seeing Elon Musk's and SpaceX's activities.
mh370 - 158 - y :
The man in this picture did not leave this photo shoot in a killing state of mind, he left with an even greater feeling of responsibility.
mh370 - 158 - z :
Just to be clear, the picture merely shows a proud dad, a high moral person and a skilled pilot.

mh370 - 157 - a :
Captain Zaharie should be on the cover of TIME Magazine: the man who changed the aviation industry overnight. Made it safer.
mh370 - 157 - b :
For tech-savvy Captain Zaharie pointing out the flaws in airliner tracking, MH370 was the right flight to highlight that problem.
mh370 - 157 - c :
All the interests Captain Zaharie had, his skill and experience as Boeing 777 pilot: a great story for TIME Magazine.
mh370 - 157 - d :
Captain Zaharie in TIME Magazine: the untold story, the real story, the only story, the truth: a great pilot.
mh370 - 157 - e :
There are many great pilots all around the World, pilots who do an excellent job every day, all day, year-round.
mh370 - 157 - f :
The truth around MH370 will be known and when that day comes Captain Zaharie will be on the cover of TIME Magazine.
mh370 - 157 - g :
The quick demonization of Captain Zaharie is something that was easily born. A witch hunt is always more fun. Always.
mh370 - 157 - h :
The editorial staff of TIME Magazine should start writing the article about Captain Zaharie. Great articles require time to mature.
mh370 - 157 - i :
Instead of a picture of Captain Zaharie the editorial staff of TIME Magazine can also opt for showing the picture of a mirror. Reflection.
mh370 - 157 - j :
When we get to know the truth about MH370 there is a significant chance that we, again, get to know how quick we judge others.
mh370 - 157 - k :
Malaysia Airlines will have a great pilot to show for in the central hall of KLIA. A captain that reflects MAS' reliability.

mh370 - 157 - m :
Captain Zaharie's homemade flight simulator will become a huge success among flight enthusiast.
mh370 - 157 - n :
Sony should start to investigate on how to build a flight simulator game console that mirrors the one from Captain Zaharie.
mh370 - 157 - o :
Flight protocols will be improved thanks to the missing of flight MH370.
mh370 - 157 - p :
It sometimes takes a huge blow to fracture a strong structure. MH370 going missing is the huge blow. The strong structure, however, is still unknown.
mh370 - 157 - q :
MH370 going missing can be rewritten to a Call of Duty Black Ops episode. Call of Duty.com, Blackops.
mh370 - 157 - r :
An hours on end flight above the Indian Ocean and only one person alive on MH370: the flight entertainment system better be operational.
mh370 - 157 - s :
When the truth comes out, TIME Magazine better have something good to offer regarding Captain Zaharie because a lot will be written all over the World.
mh370 - 157 - t :
One article that cannot be left out of TIME Magazine's MH370 issue is how to prepare Penang Hokkien Mee.
mh370 - 157 - u :
The last page of TIME Magazine's MH370 issue will list two captains that were wrongfully accused: Captain Zaharie and Captain Smith (Titanic).
mh370 - 157 - v :
Another list in TIME Magazine's MH370 issue will be the captains and co-pilots that succeeded in dramatically landing an airliner.
mh370 - 157 - w :
A few pages about Captain Zaharie's favourite dishes cannot be missing from TIME Magazine's MH370 issue.
mh370 - 157 - x :
An extensive overview of Captain Zaharie's living quarters and how he spend his time there add to exclusiveness of TIME Magazine's MH370 issue.
mh370 - 157 - y :
How to build a replica of Captain Zaharie's home made flight simulator cannot be left out of TIME Magazine's MH370 issue.
mh370 - 157 - z :
The final pages of TIME Magazine's MH370 issue should contain pictures and a small paragraph of every passenger and crew, all 239 of them.

Larry Vance's conclusion on the flaperon found at Réunion. Larry Vance, Der Spiegel.
mh370 - 156 - b :
People like Larry Vance are like Peter Falk: they just know. Peter Falk, Columbo.
mh370 - 156 - c :
Larry Vance should be one of the investigators to examine the pieces of wreckage found by Blaine Alan Gibson. Blaine Alan Gibson, solo mission to find to the wreckage of flight MH370.
mh370 - 156 - d :
Debris from MH370 was created as it happened. There is no other story to tell, one just needs to be able to read it.
mh370 - 156 - e :
Reading debris from an airliner is something not everybody can do. Larry Vance is one of those people who can.
mh370 - 156 - f :
Larry Vance should be asked to assemble a team of people who can decipher MH370's debris: that is the way to speedup things.
mh370 - 156 - g :
Solving the MH370 mystery is something everybody like to have on its resume, but only a few can do it.
mh370 - 156 - h :
Larry Vance can only do his job if he is supported by politics and decision-making authority.
mh370 - 156 - i :
Blaine Alan Gibson is someone who tries to unravel mysteries. Blaine Alan Gibson, solo mission to find to the wreckage of flight MH370.
mh370 - 156 - j :
Not so good to hear that possible MH370 debris takes a few months to be picked up by Malaysian authorities.
mh370 - 156 - k :
One would expect that by now the Malaysian authority would be on top of things after a difficult start in 2014.
mh370 - 156 - l :
Getting handed over potential debris from MH370 is the easiest it gets in any air crash investigation.
mh370 - 156 - m :
True, the Malaysian authority must be getting numerous reports of possible MH370 debris. Not an easy task to act upon, to manage.
mh370 - 156 - n :
It should be possible for the Malaysian authority to have the possible MH370 debris sent over to Kuala Lumpur within a week.
mh370 - 156 - o :
MH370 is most likely shattered in pieces throuhout the Indian Ocean. The result is that debris might wash up over a large area.
mh370 - 156 - p :
It is bad publicity for Malaysia if its authority does not seem able to collect possible MH370 debris.
mh370 - 156 - q :
Alibaba.com can send a product to a customer anywhere on this planet within a few days.
mh370 - 156 - r :
Only in a political arena can not collecting MH370 debris, or taking a long time to do so, be sold as competence.
mh370 - 156 - s :
There is enough expertise around, also in Malaysia, to hunt down missing flight MH370.
mh370 - 156 - t :
It is possible to collect all possible MH370 debris in a hangar at KLIA. It will be costly but Malaysia cannot afford not to do so.
mh370 - 156 - u :
It is somewhat of an insult to the people of Malaysia if retrieving possible MH370 debris takes a long time to do so.
mh370 - 156 - v :
Handling a difficult case like MH370 is not easy. Any national authority will find it difficult to manage.
mh370 - 156 - w :
There is enough lookalike debris adrift to bury the whole of KLIA under. 99% of all reported is not MH370 debris.
mh370 - 156 - x :
The Malaysian authority should review if they have the best protocols in place to retrieve possible MH370 debris.
mh370 - 156 - y :
No one can seriously blame the Malaysian authority when they work hard to track down MH370.
mh370 - 156 - z :
Perhaps retrieving MH370 debris has low priority since Larry Vance already concluded MH370 made a controlled water-landing.

mh370 - 155 - a :
The captain's chair in a Boeing 777. Cockpit of Biman's Boeing 777-200ER.
mh370 - 155 - b :
Seemingly a captain's chair is not made to provide comfort: it is made for working purposes. Cockpit of Biman's Boeing 777-200ER.
mh370 - 155 - c :
A rogue pilot would put MH370 on autopilot - keep the cockpit door open and have a seat in business class.
mh370 - 155 - d :
No one will blame the rogue pilot if it turns out he sought the comfort of a business class chair above the Indian Ocean.
mh370 - 155 - e :
Say what you want about the rogue pilot but he will not make his last flight an hour-long buttock paining experience.
mh370 - 155 - f :
Looking at the captain's chair, it is no wonder Captain Zaharie did not added such an uncomfortable chair to his simulator.
mh370 - 155 - g :
Captain Zaharie having simulated at his simulator how to reach the co-pilot's chair quickly would have been disturbing.
mh370 - 155 - h :
Blaming a flight enthusiast for having a flight simulator is like blaming Gordon Ramsay for having professional kitchen tools at home.
mh370 - 155 - i :
One would think that the experienced Captain Zaharie would have innovative ideas about the captain's chair.
mh370 - 155 - j :
Captain Zaharie not having showed any innovative ideas about the captain's chair for his final flight is a bit weird.
mh370 - 155 - k :
The uncomfortable pilot chair is always in your face, every flight, your entire career.
mh370 - 155 - l :
A comfortable chair allows for a state of mind of deep contemplation. The Boeing 777's captain chair is not one of those.
mh370 - 155 - m :
The long Indian Ocean flight would be an excellent period to contemplate: it also the only stage that night with that possibility.
mh370 - 155 - n :
The rogue pilot not panicking knowing that at a certain stage above the Indian Ocean MH370 passed the point of safe return.
mh370 - 155 - o :
When MH370 passed the point of safe return above the Indian Ocean it had still a few hours of fuel left. No way back.
mh370 - 155 - p :
MH370 passing the point of safe return must have gave the pilot a thrilling feeling: it's like being already dead and yet still alive.
mh370 - 155 - q :
Passing the point of safe return above the Indian Ocean was the confirmation for the rogue pilot his plan would end successfully.
mh370 - 155 - r :
If there was a rogue pilot flying MH370 above the Indian Ocean, reaching the point of safe return must have been one of its main goals.
mh370 - 155 - s :
Passing the point of safe return means that the margin of error on where to crash MH370 gets narrower: less fuel for adjustments.
mh370 - 155 - t :
Flying MH370 to its final crash-site after passing the point of safe return requires a lot of skill from the pilot.
mh370 - 155 - u :
A rogue pilot doing it all to show off would be wanting to fly MH370 by hand after passing the point of safe return rather than by autopilot.
mh370 - 155 - v :
Flying MH370 to its crash-site, after passing the point of safe return, is the third cherry on top of the cake.
mh370 - 155 - w :
The first cherry is the sharp left turn at Igari, the second is succeeding in flying from Igari towards the tip of Sumatra.
mh370 - 155 - x :
The fourth cherry on top of the MH370 cake is the water-landing of a fully loaded airliner in the Indian Ocean: a World's first.
mh370 - 155 - y :
No rogue pilot will kill passengers and crew, and certainly not oneself, by crashing MH370 if there is no reward for doing it all.
mh370 - 155 - z :
There must have been some sort of reward (cherry) for doing it all, mental illness or not.

mh370 - 154 - a :
Flight MH370 is missing for almost 4 years. The more you think about the assumptions made the more unrealistic it sounds.
mh370 - 154 - b :
Captain Zaharie, a professional pilot, at one day killing 238 passengers and crew out of the blue does not make any sense.
mh370 - 154 - c :
A professional pilot enjoying a flight for hours on end after having killed all passengers and crew by decompression.
mh370 - 154 - d :
To actually do to MH370 that whatever happened to it could only have done successfully on a midnight flight.
mh370 - 154 - e :
At night-time passengers and crew are more disoriented than during a daytime flight.
mh370 - 154 - f :
Filling in the blanks of what happened to MH370 is telling more of our mentally and personality than Captain Zaharie's.
mh370 - 154 - g :
Someone as skilled and experienced as Captain Zaharie could have easily made a career change to flight simulator instructor.
mh370 - 154 - h :
The flight addict within Captain Zaharie would never have let him crash a Boeing 777, or any other airliner for that matter.
mh370 - 154 - i :
A flight addict like Captain Zaharie will put a lot of effort in making a gorgeous flight simulator. No surprise there.
mh370 - 154 - j :
Captain Zaharie having built his simulator is not aa alarming thing. What would have been disturbing is had he started to show signs of neglecting his simulator.
mh370 - 154 - k :
A flight addict wants to fly: not crashing a commanding flight into the Indian Ocean off Australia's West Coast.
mh370 - 154 - l :
All pilots know that flying at night over land is much nicer than flying over a long stretch of ocean: beautiful city lights.
mh370 - 154 - m :
Flying at night over land brings in a great feature for a flight addict like Captain Zaharie: navigating by landmarks.
mh370 - 154 - n :
No pilot will, if given the choice between a night flight over land or one over the Indian Ocean, choose the Indian Ocean flight.
mh370 - 154 - o :
The long Indian Ocean flight MH370 made must have been an extremely boring flight for whoever was still alive.
mh370 - 154 - p :
Only great multimedia content on the flight entertainment system can provide some relief during a long Indian Ocean flight.
mh370 - 154 - q :
Flight crew know that on long ocean flights the flight entertainment system is needed for passengers not to get bored/aggressive.
mh370 - 154 - r :
A captain or co-pilot crashing an airliner sadly has happened. Those investigations always found the reason why.
mh370 - 154 - s :
In the case of MH370 there is nothing: no mental illness nor a religious motive regarding its captain nor its co-pilot.
mh370 - 154 - t :
When there is no cause to explain MH370's disappearance, people will come up with theories that reflect their mentality.
mh370 - 154 - u :
Had Captain Zaharie been a Qantas pilot people would not have come up with today's accusations.
mh370 - 154 - v :
The positive thing in MH370's case is that, as time passes on, it becomes a cold case and that creates space for a fresh review.
mh370 - 154 - w :
When a case is hot, like early beginnings of MH370, there is a significant amount of assumptions that burden the investigation.

mh370 - 154 - z :
The night MH370 went missing was a great enjoyable Malaysian summer evening, especially for life enthusiast Captain Zaharie.

mh370 - 153 - a :
Making delicious Penang Hokkien Mee required probably more effort from food enthusiast Captain Zaharie than diverting MH370.
mh370 - 153 - b :
Penang Hokkien Mee, a great Malaysian dish. rasamalaysia.com, recipe penang hokkien mee prawn noodle.
mh370 - 153 - c :
Keeping your taste for great dishes and on the other hand plan the killing of oneself and 238 others. Seems unlikely.
mh370 - 153 - d :
A great dish is the result of quality ingredients, preparation and skill.
mh370 - 153 - e :
A skilled pilot that can make Penang Hokkien Mee can also make a Boeing 777 and all its crew and passengers disappear.
mh370 - 153 - f :
Like Penang Hokkien Mee: every great dish is the result of trial and error before the final recipe is written down.
mh370 - 153 - g :
He who knows how to cook, how to use ingredients, knows what it is like to carefully plan to get a successful dish.
mh370 - 153 - h :
Cooking is unforgiving: the more sophisticated a dish is, the less margin of error a chef has.
mh370 - 153 - i :
The outcome of a dish, till some extend, is already known when knowing which ingredients will be used.
mh370 - 153 - j :
When making Penang Hokkien Mee you will at a certain stage pass the point of safe return: finish what you started.
mh370 - 153 - k :
Each dish has its own point of safe return. Where that point of return lies depends on the dish being cooked.
mh370 - 153 - l :
The more passionate a chef is the better he feels the stages a dish passes through and where the point of safe return lies.
mh370 - 153 - m :
Captain Zaharie was passionate about flying and cooking: such individuals make the best pilots to command a troubled airliner.
mh370 - 153 - n :
To a pilot passionate about cooking, a cockpit, with all its buttons, switches and controls: is like a table with ingredients.
mh370 - 153 - o :
When cooking complex dishes one must be focused and in control: cooking is a delicate thing, mistakes are easily made.
mh370 - 153 - p :
Penang Hokkien Mee ending up in a disaster is not so bad, one can try tomorrow once more.
mh370 - 153 - q :
Diverting MH370 together with all its passengers and crew can only be done once. There is no margin of error.
mh370 - 153 - r :
If Captain Zaharie practiced on previous flights then there must have been a pattern asking his co-pilot to leave the cockpit.
mh370 - 153 - s :
Even an experienced chef requires a few times of practicing before the Penang Hokkien Mee comes out the way it should.
mh370 - 153 - t :
An experienced chef getting help from a chef who already knows how to make Penang Hokkien Mee, is not a strange thing.
mh370 - 153 - u :
Captain Zaharie seeking advice from another pilot on how to divert and crash MH370.
mh370 - 153 - v :
It seems so easy to make Penang Hokkien Mee yet many, like chef Zaharie, failed the first couple of times.
mh370 - 153 - w :
Wanting to kill someone, being a police officer is the best starting point, according a police chief in a tv series.
mh370 - 153 - x :
Captain Zaharie (if it was him) choses flight MH370 as the main ingredient for his master plan.
mh370 - 153 - y :
One getting so bored from cooking Penang Hokkien Mee that one decides to divert an airliner and crash it in the Indian Ocean.
mh370 - 153 - z :
Makes you wonder: passengers and crew of flight MH370 being the ingredients of a master plan, a master dish.

mh370 - 152 - a :
They find a deleted simulated flight on Captain Zaharie's computer, yet not a search engine history about pilot suicide cases.
mh370 - 152 - b :
Practicing by a home-made computer simulation is one, killing yourself is another.
mh370 - 152 - c :
Without mental illness, Captain Zaharie (if it was him) has a tough job ahead: the slow destruction of a fully loaded airliner.
mh370 - 152 - d :
Preparing how to deviate MH370 can perhaps be done on a simulator, but mentally preparing yourself to end your life cannot.
mh370 - 152 - e :
As some comments might suggest: if MH370 was a pilot suicide Malaysia airlines might be bankrupted because of it.
mh370 - 152 - f :
The photos and videos of Captain Zaharie can also be interpreted in a good way. It all depends on the music and voice of the video.
mh370 - 152 - g :
A computer of a pilot planning and simulating the crash of a commanding flight surely must have other dark stuff on his computer.
mh370 - 152 - h :
Captain Zaharie loved to cook. No delicious recipes on his computer for a final flight? Airplane food must be quite good then.
mh370 - 152 - i :
A computer with flight simulator software on it is all it took to prepare for the disappearance of MH370. Sounds easy.
mh370 - 152 - j :
The suicide passion of Captain Zaharie shines through the case modding of his computer and the flight controls used.
mh370 - 152 - k :
Captain Zaharie, a detailed and neatly organized person. There should be no surprise that his suicide simulation computer is superb.
mh370 - 152 - l :
Had Captain Zaharie eased down a bit on using high quality components for his flight simulator, no one would have suspected him.
mh370 - 152 - m :
Quite an efficient guy this Captain Zaharie: he being able to build a flight simulator that allows practicing suicide missions.
mh370 - 152 - n :
For a guy like Captain Zaharie, flying the long Indian Ocean flight with MH370 is one of the most boring routes to fly.
mh370 - 152 - o :
The long Indian Ocean flight MH370 has nothing exiting for sightseeing, not in real-life and not in the flight simulator game.
mh370 - 152 - p :
Captain Zaharie builds a simulator with such passion only a true flight enthusiast can. Everyone else would have quit long before.
mh370 - 152 - q :
The believe is Captain Zaharie build a flight simulator to rehearse the missing of flight MH370. Well, any game computer would do.
mh370 - 152 - r :
The simulator of Captain Zaharie was built with love. If the purpose was to rehearse he had a lot of passion for crashing MH370.
mh370 - 152 - s :
Since the water-landing of MH370 could only be done once, Captain Zaharie build a simulator to relive that moment many times.
mh370 - 152 - t :
Imagine the time it took Captain Zaharie to build the simulator. He really took his time to collect the flight controls needed.
mh370 - 152 - u :
Investigators found a deleted simulated flight of MH370 on Captain Zaharie's computer. Timeline 5:38 60 Minutes Australia, MH370: Special Investigation (2016).
mh370 - 152 - v :
There must be other deleted flight data on Captain Zaharie's computer: MH370's entire trajectory is the result of trial and error.
mh370 - 152 - w :
If practicing the water-landing or the sharp left turn at Igari was the aim, other practice runs must be present on his computer.
mh370 - 152 - x :
If the idea for crashing MH370 came while building his simulator, a change in flight behaviour must be tracible in the game.
mh370 - 152 - y :
For a guy like Captain Zaharie, a passionate and experienced pilot, any homemade flight simulator is merely a toy.
mh370 - 152 - z :
Captain Zaharie building his simulator for the sole purpose of crashing MH370 and not losing his taste for quality components during the build.

mh370 - 151 - a :
A pilot passionate about flying going on his final flight without his favourite watch? Not really.
mh370 - 151 - b :
You cannot rush the killing of 238 passengers and crew. These things require planning no matter how skilled a pilot is.
mh370 - 151 - c :
Going to kill 238 passengers and crew, one wants to be dressed sharp and the most comfortable way possible.
mh370 - 151 - d :
You take your best watch to add to the flavour of a successful deviation at waypoint Igari.
mh370 - 151 - e :
Early in the deviation of flight MH370 there will be dead passengers and crew: leaving the cockpit unnecessary is not an option.
mh370 - 151 - f :
The most comfortable flight chairs in any Boeing 777 are in business class, and not in the cockpit.
mh370 - 151 - g :
Look at the cockpit chairs of any Boeing 777. Not really chairs that allow for a comfortable suicide flight.
mh370 - 151 - h :
Committing suicide is something that can happen to anyone, the rich and the poor: suicide is a mental thing.
mh370 - 151 - i :
Depression is a mental state that can break down any person.
mh370 - 151 - j :
People who are mentally sane, and want to commit suicide, are the only people who dress neatly for their suicide. Go with pride.
mh370 - 151 - k :
Whatever the mental state of a person, it takes a lot of guts to commit suicide.
mh370 - 151 - l :
A rogue pilot who loves to fly, and still can fly for many years to come, must have a good reason to crash what he loves so much.
mh370 - 151 - m :
The pilot who left no breadcrumbs behind for tracking down MH370 did so because he wanted his actions to remain unravelled.
mh370 - 151 - n :
How it works in one's mind not to leave any breadcrumbs behind when having flown professionally for so many years.
mh370 - 151 - o :
If one is ready to crash MH370, and ending one's life, then for sure one knows one's children will make it in this life.
mh370 - 151 - p :
Captain Zaharie would never have stepped away from his children had they still needed him as a father.
mh370 - 151 - q :
For Captain Zaharie, a food enthusiast, Southeast Asia provides enough dishes to not get bored in life.
mh370 - 151 - r :
Killing oneself is one thing, killing 238 passengers and crew and yourself is something completely different.
mh370 - 151 - s :
Suicide is most of times confined to a single person feeling suicidal: it requires a blackout or mental illness to take others with you.
mh370 - 151 - t :
Psychologically speaking, killing other people first and then yourself does not equal suicide by e.g. jumping of a bridge.
mh370 - 151 - u :
Willing to commit suicide requires guts e.g.: stepping in front of a train, jumping of a bridge.
mh370 - 151 - v :
The time between having decided to commit suicide and walking to e.g. the bridge is something unimaginable.
mh370 - 151 - w :
A person being faced with psychological wounds or pain each morning may feel that only suicide can bring relieve.
mh370 - 151 - x :
It cannot be that killing the 238 passengers and crew of MH370 was the goal of the rogue pilot: merely an obstacle on his path.
mh370 - 151 - y :
238 dead passengers and crew must have burned a mental wound in the rogue pilot's mind during the long Indian Ocean flight.
mh370 - 151 - z :
Being a passionate pilot for many years, and suddenly killing 238 passengers and crew, require two different types of personalities.

mh370 - 150 - a :
Captain Byron Bailey explains the actions of MH370's rogue pilot in the video on his website. captainbyronbailey.com
mh370 - 150 - b :
In seven hours of flying the rogue pilot must go to the toilet at least once.
mh370 - 150 - c :
No matter how rogue the pilot is, he will make his last flight a comfortable one. Postponing toilet-needs is not an option.
mh370 - 150 - d :
The rogue pilot visiting the toilet after passing the tip of Sumatra: welcome in the fuselage with 238 dead people.
mh370 - 150 - e :
Planning the missing of MH370 is one, having the guts to walk in to MH370's fuselage with 238 dead people is another.
mh370 - 150 - f :
Having 238 people dead people in one's fuselage is something the instinct of every professional pilot is trying to prevent.
mh370 - 150 - g :
A professional pilot requires a higher goal to uphold his sanity when being confronted with 238 dead passengers and crew.
mh370 - 150 - h :
The look of 238 dead passengers and crew in MH370's fuselage would challenge the rogue pilot's sanity.
mh370 - 150 - i :
The more time passes by after the decompression the more inconvenient it will become for the sole survivor of MH370.
mh370 - 150 - j :
Dead people do not make good companions especially when hours are passing by.
mh370 - 150 - k :
For sure the pilot would have switch off the heater in the fuselage to prevent unpleasant smells to occur in the cockpit.
mh370 - 150 - l :
Perhaps the whole missing of MH370 comes down to a pilot having the strong desire to execute a water-landing with a Boeing 777.
mh370 - 150 - m :
In a fuselage with 238 dead people it is best to pull bodies away from the kitchen and toilet while the bodies are still warm.
mh370 - 150 - n :
A water-landing in a Boeing 777 is only valid when it is fully packed with passengers, crew and luggage.
mh370 - 150 - o :
Performing a water-landing in a Boeing 777 that only carries freight is considered less skilled as to a passenger carrying Boeing 777.
mh370 - 150 - p :
A Boeing 777 is more rigid than e.g. a Boeing 747 due to its smaller size. Rigid means: better water-landing capabilities.
mh370 - 150 - q :
The quality of a water-landing is measured by how less damaged the airliner is, and not by the survival rate of the passengers.
mh370 - 150 - r :
To the public the survival rate counts, but to cowboy pilots, keeping the airliner as much intact as possible is what counts.
mh370 - 150 - s :
After the water-landing the rogue pilot must come out of the cockpit to assess the interior damage: "how well did I do?".
mh370 - 150 - t :
Dead passengers and crew do not applaud: MH370's rogue pilot has to celebrate the water-landing on his own.
mh370 - 150 - u :
The reason for the rogue pilot to fly out far over the Indian Ocean, is to perform a low-weight water-landing, less fuel.
mh370 - 150 - v :
Low-weight water-landings allow for better success when it comes down to gaining as less damage as possible.
mh370 - 150 - w :
The rogue pilot of MH370 did not plan all this to die on impact when performing the water-landing: one wants to enjoy the result.
mh370 - 150 - x :
Keeping MH370 adrift after the water-landing allows for contemplation of one's long career and the trilling end of it all.
mh370 - 150 - y :
If the water-landing of MH370 is the goal of it all the rogue pilot would perform the landing as good as he possibly can.
mh370 - 150 - z :
After contemplation of the successful water-landing the rogue pilot cannot decompress the cockpit anymore to kill himself.

mh370 - 149 - a :
The Roaring Forties or the Mariana Trench? Both memorable locations to end the biggest mystery in aviation.
mh370 - 149 - b :
The Roaring Forties are an uncomplicated, easy to pick, location on a map. Roaring Forties.
mh370 - 149 - c :
The Mariana Trench is a more complicated kind of final destiny. More planning needed. more skill needed. The Mariana Trench.
mh370 - 149 - d :
Making the plan to take MH370 and all its passengers and crew is one thing, where to crash it is another.
mh370 - 149 - e :
One would think the final destination of MH370 should be a memorable one, i.e. if it was all about being remembered by history.
mh370 - 149 - f :
The Mariana Trench is yet to be investigated. Had MH370 crashed in the Mariana Trench it would be found at some point in time.
mh370 - 149 - g :
Staying hidden is not how the hide and seek game is being played. That is like starting the game and silently sneak away.
mh370 - 149 - h :
The Mariana Trench is beyond anyone's reach, especially for a salvage operation. Anything dropped there is out of reach.
mh370 - 149 - i :
Crashing MH370 in the Mariana Trench will be an act that can almost not be copied by another pilot to get famous a second time.
mh370 - 149 - j :
He who crashes a Boeing 777, fully loaded with passengers and crew, will be remembered as the World's first for centuries to come.
mh370 - 149 - k :
If it is normal fame one is looking for then crashing MH370 in the Roaring Forties will do.
mh370 - 149 - l :
If it is the highest level of fame one is looking for then there is only one option: crashing MH370 in the Mariana Trench.
mh370 - 149 - m :
Think of it, there is no location more unique than the Mariana Trench: the Mariana Trench is the holy grail.
mh370 - 149 - n :
The Roaring Forties is not as unique as the Mariana Trench. Yet, it still needs effort for one to label it as MH370's crash-site.
mh370 - 149 - o :
Make it disappear.
mh370 - 149 - p :
Professionally executed.
mh370 - 149 - q :
History made.
mh370 - 149 - r :
There is no doubt in my mind that Larry Vance is right about MH370 having made a controlled landing. Larry Vance, Der Spiegel.
mh370 - 149 - s :
Apparently in one's mind, landing properly at MH370's crash-site is as important as flying unseen. Larry Vance, Der Spiegel.
mh370 - 149 - t :
To land MH370 properly at its crash-site, and keep MH370 in one piece, one must have faith in the waves of the crash-site.
mh370 - 149 - u :
All the time MH370 was above the Indian Ocean there was anxiety in one's mind whether the waves would allow a proper landing.
mh370 - 149 - v :
Executing MH370's water landing at the Weissensee with its smooth water surface is a hard thing to do. Weissensee (Carinthia).
mh370 - 149 - w :
Even at a calm day the Indian Ocean does not have waves to guarantee a smooth water landing, let alone, the Roaring Forties.
mh370 - 149 - x :
Landing on the waves of the Indian Ocean with a seaplane always comes with a certain amount of risk. Seaplane.
mh370 - 149 - y :
Landing MH370 at BCIA in stormy weather is a joke compared to landing MH370 on the waves of the Indian Ocean.
mh370 - 149 - z :
The controlled landing, Larry Vance deduced, is the cherry on top of MH370's disappearance planning. Larry Vance, Der Spiegel.

mh370 - 148 - a :
China, a country that has all the necessities to track down MH370. All China needs is the vision to do so.
mh370 - 148 - b :
The search for MH370 will be an expensive expedition but the gains for China will be huge when succeeding.
mh370 - 148 - c :
Flight MH370, the biggest mystery in aviation solved by China deploying its financial power and technical skill.
mh370 - 148 - d :
Having the financial power and technical skill to track down MH370 does not equal having the ability to do so.
mh370 - 148 - e :
Tracking down MH370 requires, above all, a vision and the will to succeed. Aspects that cannot be bought.
mh370 - 148 - f :
China's financial power and technical skill can only be focused by vision and will power. Without, all effort just dissipates.
mh370 - 148 - g :
China has what it takes to prevent financial power and technical skill from dissipating while searching for MH370.
mh370 - 148 - h :
Cao Shunli having died in prison does not tell of a China that is ready to track down MH370. Cao Shunli.
mh370 - 148 - i :
Cao Shunli's case was perhaps not easy but a more sophisticated mindset is needed to track down MH370.
mh370 - 148 - j :
Napoleon Bonaparte said: "China is a sleeping Giant. Let her sleep for when she wakes she will move the World."
mh370 - 148 - k :
Looking at Cao Shunli's death: is that the great China being awake? Whatever that was, if it still is do not bother about MH370.
mh370 - 148 - l :
If the annexation of Tibet is more difficult than tracking down MH370, I am confident China will locate MH370.
mh370 - 148 - m :
Artist Ai Weiwei is not one of your favourite artists, but, having a critic in the Chinese MH370 search team is a wise decision.
mh370 - 148 - n :
The amount of energy, diplomacy and finance China puts in creating an image of itself and showing it to the world is quite big.
mh370 - 148 - o :
China tracking down MH370 will make China inspire future difficult searches for the next five centuries to come.
mh370 - 148 - p :
Tracking down MH370 is not an easy task. No one will blame China if MH370 is not found within 5 years. A respectable try.
mh370 - 148 - q :
China, a country with such a world history on philosophy, medicine, art and science should not have any trouble locating MH370.
mh370 - 148 - r :
So many famous and skilled people can be found throughout China's history. Not to mention those outside the history books.
mh370 - 148 - s :
That person who stood in front of the tanks on June 5th 1989. The guts it took. Tiananmen Square on June 5, 1989. (Tank Man).
mh370 - 148 - t :
The Tiananmen Square protests had enough intellectual power to create a proper strategy to organize the search for MH370.
mh370 - 148 - u :
The Tiananmen Square protesters definitely had guts. Implement that guts into any Chinese search team: potential success.
mh370 - 148 - v :
Slaughter a countries intellectual power and it will take a few generations to recover. Perhaps China will be ready then.
mh370 - 148 - w :
True, it is not China's responsibility to track down MH370. But it would be great if China would do so: the giant awakens.
mh370 - 148 - x :
True, there is enough money in Malaysia to fund a search team that will locate MH370 without causing economic stress.
mh370 - 148 - y :
The amount of money needed to track down MH370 is a joke compared to the amount of money that is taken by fraud in Malaysia, or any other country for that matter.
mh370 - 148 - z :
The missing of flight MH370 a mystery? Not while remaining search options are still on the table. Not while money is an issue.

mh370 - 147 - a :
The crew of MH370 were familiar with the flight route from KLIA to BCIA. Abnormalities were easily noticed.
mh370 - 147 - b :
The pilot and co-pilot are always served first, then business class and finally ordinary passengers.
mh370 - 147 - c :
A successful deviation of MH370 would need a locked cockpit door since Business class' mentality being: survival mode.
mh370 - 147 - d :
MH370 left KLIA around midnight. That usually means that everyone on board already had eaten prior to boarding.
mh370 - 147 - e :
On a midnight flight passengers and crew are only being served drinks and small snacks.
mh370 - 147 - f :
Passengers attending a midnight flight would rather go to sleep then waiting for drinks being served.
mh370 - 147 - g :
Due to cultural differences it is perhaps quite normal for a Southeast Asian midnight flight to serve hot meals.
mh370 - 147 - h :
The business men in business class perhaps were not looking for sleep like ordinary passengers would on a midnight flight.
mh370 - 147 - i :
On a midnight flight business man flying business class rather enjoy its benefits than sleeping in business class.
mh370 - 147 - j :
Six hours of luxury time in business class on flight MH370 would have been the case had MH370 landed at BCIA.
mh370 - 147 - k :
Business class at nighttime on a Southeast Asian flight is in general a more luxurious experience than on a Western flight.
mh370 - 147 - l :
I have a colleague here in The Netherlands who prefers Malaysian and Singapore service to that of KLM: better service.
mh370 - 147 - m :
Flying business class is something that is legendary throughout aviation. Everybody who has ever flown knows that.
mh370 - 147 - n :
The flight MH370 was carried out with was a Boeing 777: a very reliable airliner but limited in its luxury.
mh370 - 147 - o :
Nowadays there are the Airbus A380 and Boeing 787, each are gorgeous airliners with top of the line business class.
mh370 - 147 - p :
Guess where business class passengers rather book their flight: that will be the A380 and the Boeing 787, not the Boeing 777.
mh370 - 147 - q :
Compared to the business class of the A380 and the Boeing 787, the business class of a Boeing 777 is rather old school.
mh370 - 147 - r :
Business men on flight MH370 had no doubt good expectations about the service that night.
mh370 - 147 - s :
Having flown business class many times before, passengers of business class were waiting for the luxury time to unfold itself.
mh370 - 147 - t :
KLIA to BCIA is a route that sees a lot of business men traveling up and down this route: the Frequent flyer program runs overtime.
mh370 - 147 - u :
So closely situated to the cockpit business class has the best seats to witness all the turmoil going on near the cockpit door.
mh370 - 147 - v :
The survival instinct of business men is higher than those of ordinary passengers. Especially those business men who dislike flying.
mh370 - 147 - w :
Any action outside the cockpit door would have a high risk of getting noticed by passengers of business class.
mh370 - 147 - x :
Whoever planned the missing must have known that causing stress near the cockpit door would cause an immediate panic wave.
mh370 - 147 - y :
Whoever was in the cockpit must have thought out a bit more than simply locking the cockpit door from the inside.
mh370 - 147 - z :
Simply just locking the cockpit door from the inside just doesn't cut it.

mh370 - 146 - a :
As kids we all have been in a haunted house. Do you recall the dimmed and sometimes dark hallways? Thank heavens for the exit.
mh370 - 146 - b :
A haunted house is not meant to cause injury and so you will find no dangerous staircase of some sort. All is safe for kids.
mh370 - 146 - c :
The first time you enter a haunted house always causes the biggest disorientation.
mh370 - 146 - d :
Willing to impress girls, guys always did a couple of extra reruns through the haunted house.
mh370 - 146 - e :
The thing is that each time you re-enter the haunted house the disorientation declines.
mh370 - 146 - f :
At some point the disorientation is so much declined that you start to feel secure and each step feels steady.
mh370 - 146 - g :
At some point in time you can even run through the haunted house without letting your ice-cream fall.
mh370 - 146 - h :
Trying to shed some light on the missing of MH370 has the same unfamiliarity as entering a haunted house for the first time.
mh370 - 146 - i :
Looking at the missing of MH370 for the first time you can be easily be set of balance by things that have no meaning.
mh370 - 146 - j :
Similar like the first couple of times through the haunted house: every little bump or sound can set you of balance.
mh370 - 146 - k :
To find the actual steps that led to the missing of MH370 you must do the reruns similar as if you were in a haunted house.
mh370 - 146 - l :
Whoever caused the missing of MH370, steps were taken to come to this result after some serious thinking. No spontaneous action.
mh370 - 146 - m :
To get down to that level where you can almost see the actual steps taken to result in the missing of MH370, you must descent.
mh370 - 146 - n :
Descent by making the reruns in your mind of what could have happened, and doing so trying to get rid of the disorientation.
mh370 - 146 - o :
The steps that led to the missing of MH370 are real just like the path through a haunted house.
mh370 - 146 - p :
In a haunted house sounds need to be started and stopped according a certain timing to create the best effects.
mh370 - 146 - q :
Imagine a silent haunted house. Every walkthrough would just be a dull exercise unless your mind start to play tricks on you.
mh370 - 146 - r :
Whoever deviated MH370 must have given the possible actions of the passengers some serious thought.
mh370 - 146 - s :
Try stopping the actions of 200+ passengers trying to break through the cockpit door because they want to live.
mh370 - 146 - t :
One must really have some strong faith in the pounding modern cockpit doors can endure. The pounding of 200+ passengers.
mh370 - 146 - u :
MH370 flew for many ours over the Indian Ocean. About six hours that 200+ passengers have to break through the cockpit door.
mh370 - 146 - v :
Being alone in a haunted house allows one to find the exit more easily than when being with a group of friends.
mh370 - 146 - w :
Do not forget that among the passengers of MH370 there was quite some professional and intellectual power.
mh370 - 146 - x :
It is not in every flight of MH370 that a flight engineer is among the passengers. The flight engineer being Khairul.
mh370 - 146 - y :
Like is father said: " Khairul was a good son and was doing well". Reuters, Malaysia police probe flight engineer.
mh370 - 146 - z :
A pilot listening to passengers pounding on the door for hours on end? A Beats headphone and favourite music will do.

mh370 - 145 - a :
Meet the man who is about to deviate flight MH370 from its original course. Timeline 02:20 topdocumentaryfilms.com, Where is flight mh370.
mh370 - 145 - b :
This captain's moves do not speak of a man who is about to make history by making an airliner go missing over the vast Indian Ocean.
mh370 - 145 - c :
Imagine the thrill that must be going through this man's head. All the months of planning and now the moment has arrived.
mh370 - 145 - d :
Only natural leadership can make a man act so mundane while being close to deviating a fully loaded airliner.
mh370 - 145 - e :
Pilots and passengers walk the same path from the gate to their respective seats. Also in the case of MH370.
mh370 - 145 - f :
If there was criminal intent from Captain Zaharie he would have sought eye-contact with the passengers waiting at the gate.
mh370 - 145 - g :
Just like in nature: a hunter will always keep its eyes on its prey.
mh370 - 145 - h :
If killing the passengers of MH370 was part of the plan for sure the perpetrator must have overlooked its victims.
mh370 - 145 - i :
Only in warlike situations do the potential victims not matter. War is impersonal, deviating MH370 is not: it is a personal act.
mh370 - 145 - j :
For a pilot who has safeguarded his passengers for a large part of his life, crashing deliberately is a personal act.
mh370 - 145 - k :
Perhaps Captain Zaharie's behaviour of a captain going through security, and is about to crash an airliner, is what it should be.
mh370 - 145 - l :
How would you go through security, being the captain of MH370? Imagine going through like Yosemite Sam.
mh370 - 145 - m :
How about going through like The Joker (Keith Lechar)? The Joker would have played around the passengers who awaited boarding.
mh370 - 145 - n :
The Joker would have given a bit of a show prior to boarding. We all know The Joker takes his time to get the fun going.
mh370 - 145 - o :
No true Joker would have gone through security like Captain Zaharie and simply went straight to the cockpit.
mh370 - 145 - p :
Only a pilot who is serious about his job would go straight to the cockpit, and while doing so, showing faith to the passengers.
mh370 - 145 - q :
Had The Joker planned the missing of MH370 then for sure he would never have chosen to go down with MH370.
mh370 - 145 - r :
The Joker does things in style, never a dull moment. It is fair to say that the missing of MH370 does not lack style.
mh370 - 145 - s :
Meaning: the route and manoeuvring MH370 took and did from Igari on can be interpreted as the actions of a cowboy, expect for the dull Indian Ocean flight.
mh370 - 145 - t :
The route and manoeuvring of MH370 from Igari on does not lack guts but better cowboy routes and manoeuvring were at hand.
mh370 - 145 - u :
The Joker would never have chosen to letting MH370 go missing without a clear purpose. He always is a reason.
mh370 - 145 - v :
The Joker does not waste airliners and people. Modern societies waste a lot of things, the Joker does not.
mh370 - 145 - w :
The Joker would have worked out a plan to spend time with the passengers while they waited for boarding.
mh370 - 145 - x :
To The Joker passing security like Captain Zaharie would merely be seen by The Joker as a small hurdle to take.
mh370 - 145 - y :
Whatever the aim is of The Joker, he would have had his focus on the bigger picture right from the start, and not on passing security.
mh370 - 145 - z :
The Joker never works alone. A pilot does not need a team. A pilot is already at the place he needs to be: the cockpit.

mh370 - 144 - a :
The sharp left turn Captain Zaharie (if it was him) made at Igari is a daring move to make with a fully loaded Boeing 777.
mh370 - 144 - b :
Student pilots will be taught how to execute the daring sharp left turn Captain Zaharie made at Igari.
mh370 - 144 - c :
At timeline 29:35 it said that it was military radar that saw MH370 take a sharp turn near Igari. topdocumentaryfilms.com, Where is flight mh370.
mh370 - 144 - d :
At timeline 8:29 Prof David Stupples notes that primary radar is not very accurate.
mh370 - 144 - e :
At timeline 29:39 it is said that after MH370 was lost on secondary radar, military primary radar data still saw MH370.
mh370 - 144 - f :
It was a bit after Igari that military primary radar saw MH370 make the left turn and flying back over the Malaysian peninsula.
mh370 - 144 - g :
Primary civilian radar has some inaccuracy and of course military primary radar has inaccuracies as well. Similar radar technique.
mh370 - 144 - h :
Everything military one would expect it to be of the highest technological quality. Everything about war material usually is.
mh370 - 144 - i :
There are many primary radar experts. Have them interpret the military primary radar data of MH370's left turn.
mh370 - 144 - j :
The thing is that inaccuracy of military primary radar will result in different interpretations of MH370's left turn.
mh370 - 144 - k :
Primary military radar is tuned to spot fighter jets and track their exact movements. Tracking MH370 is a piece of cake.
mh370 - 144 - l :
Compared to a fighter jet MH370 is big lump of aluminium is the sky making very slow and easy to follow manoeuvres.
mh370 - 144 - m :
Big and slow manoeuvring: every military primary radar operator has an easy job following MH370.
mh370 - 144 - n :
Even more so, focusing on MH370 on military primary radar is boring and sleep inducing task for any military radar operator.
mh370 - 144 - o :
No one can blame a military primary radar operator for not getting exited seeing MH370 turn left at Igari.
mh370 - 144 - p :
Day in day out the military primary radar operator sees the same boring slow manoeuvring of airliners in Malaysian airspace.
mh370 - 144 - q :
The most serious military primary radar operator will check if all dots on the screen are airliners and then leaves it at that.
mh370 - 144 - r :
Primary military radar operator having identified all dots on radar as being airliners: Malaysian airspace contains no threat.
mh370 - 144 - s :
The notes of military primary radar operators on the 8th of March 00:50h say: all identified, no threat in Malaysian airspace.
mh370 - 144 - t :
Only a military primary radar operator with an interest in civil aviation would have noticed MH370's left turn at Igari.
mh370 - 144 - u :
Interest in civil aviation brings lots of joy to the daily routine checks that a military primary radar operator must make.
mh370 - 144 - v :
Fact is that interest in civil aviation is mentioned as a "preferable interest", in a military primary radar operator vacancy.
mh370 - 144 - w :
Monitoring civil aviation is by most military personnel considered a boring task, even when viewing the crowed Malaysian airspace.
mh370 - 144 - x :
The only radar operator who is interested in all the dots on the screen is the civil radar operator: he needs to direct almost every dot.
mh370 - 144 - y :
The problem is that a civil radar operator primarily works with secondary radar, because it provides readymade information.
mh370 - 144 - z :
An enemy fighter behaving like an airliner on primary radar can easily drop a bomb on KLIA without getting noticed: fly boringly and slow, just like an airliner.

mh370 - 143 - a :
Every gap in-between crowed skies filled with airliners that can be found on Flightradar24.com is reoccurring.
mh370 - 143 - b :
No matter which area you look at with Flightradar24.com, every gap you find you will find it again on that same spot.
mh370 - 143 - c :
In mathematics we have the sinus pattern. The sinus pattern is a reoccurring pattern.
mh370 - 143 - d :
Just like the sinus pattern is reoccurring, so too are the empty skies around KLIA.
mh370 - 143 - e :
Nothing in aviation happens randomly. Everything is focused on efficiency and safety. No safety means: no revenue.
mh370 - 143 - f :
Safety in aviation is for an important part created by making airliners depart and land at their same respective times.
mh370 - 143 - g :
It sounds obvious that airliners are planned to depart and land at their respective times repeatedly, but it takes a huge amount of effort of many people to get that job done.
mh370 - 143 - h :
Repeatedly means that one who studies the flight movements at a specific place will find reoccurring events.
mh370 - 143 - i :
Reoccurring events in flight movements around KLIA allow to better understand what is going on in the sky around KLIA.
mh370 - 143 - j :
If you are planning criminal intent for MH370 then knowing the situation in the skies around KLIA is a necessity.
mh370 - 143 - k :
It is safe to say that in case of criminal intent the missing of MH370 slumbered in one's mind for quite some time.
mh370 - 143 - l :
For a non-pilot it is more difficult to sit at the kitchen table and plan the steps to be taken for MH370 to go missing.
mh370 - 143 - m :
Having the thought of taking an airliner while commanding it is something different than working on an actual plan to do so.
mh370 - 143 - n :
Only in empty skies one knows it is safe to deviate from the original flight route.
mh370 - 143 - o :
The missing of MH370 requires an empty pathway from Igari on. The following tweets show such a gap opening up.

mh370 - 142 - a :
Inmarsat was able to track down MH370 because one part of the ACARS system remained active.
mh370 - 142 - b :
The odds that when a system in an airliner is switched off one part of that system remains active.
mh370 - 142 - c :
There are not many systems on board an airliner of which a part remains active when the pilot thinks he has shut down that system.
mh370 - 142 - d :
Especially in aviation where safety is priority number one, off should mean off. How else can one fight problems on board?
mh370 - 142 - e :
Everything in the cockpit, in case of troubleshooting, is described in detailed protocols.
mh370 - 142 - f :
In cockpit protocols there is nothing mentioned about a part of the ACARS system remaining active after the rest is shut down.
mh370 - 142 - g :
Interesting to hear what the engineering philosophy is for a small part of the ACARS system to remain active.
mh370 - 142 - h :
It is allowed in aviation to leave a part of a system active only when that active part cannot cause a catastrophe.
mh370 - 142 - i :
The things a lawyer could do with such knowledge once an aviation catastrophe has happened.
mh370 - 142 - j :
If switching off the ACARS system was done according to cockpit protocol, that part of the ACARS system would still be active.
mh370 - 142 - k :
Somewhere it must be described how to completely switch off the ACARS system.
mh370 - 142 - l :
Deep in the maintenance manual of the ACARS system is described how to completely shut down the ACARS system.
mh370 - 142 - m :
He who turned off the ACARS system cannot be laughed at for not knowing the ACARS system would not entirely be switched off.
mh370 - 142 - n :
Meaning, we all would have thought that by flipping the switch of a device in the cockpit will make it switch off entirely.
mh370 - 142 - o :
Clever thinking of the ACARS engineer who came up with the idea to leave the Inmarsat ping active when ACARS is turned off in the cockpit.
mh370 - 142 - p :
Equally good thinking would have been to add a remark in the ACARS shutdown protocol that this is the case.
mh370 - 142 - q :
The remark should be: mind that the Inmarsat ping electronics stay on when the ACARS system is turned off.
mh370 - 142 - r :
It can never be that in an industry as regulated as aviation something is left out of cockpit protocols.
mh370 - 142 - s :
A manufacturer of aircraft can only survive a lawsuit when it turns out they did not delivered incomplete protocols.
mh370 - 142 - t :
Besides a lot of skilled engineers an aircraft manufacturer also employs skilled lawyers.
mh370 - 142 - u :
It is the job of the engineers to deliver an airliner that does not crash, burn or goes missing over the Indian Ocean.
mh370 - 142 - v :
It is the job of the lawyers to make sure the manufacturers business can continue when one of those things do happen.
mh370 - 142 - w :
The cockpit protocols that pilots need to follow, whether prior to taking off or in case of an emergency, is lawyer stuff.
mh370 - 142 - x :
Not everything in aviation can be put in cockpit protocols, aviation is simply too complex, too much variables.
mh370 - 142 - y :
There are very good cockpit protocols but common sense is the main ingredient for safety in aviation.
mh370 - 142 - z :
As it turns out the Inmarsat pings of MH370's are not breadcrumbs left as a trail, they are bright beacons on an unknown map.

mh370 - 141 - a :
If you take away the long Indian Ocean flight, what then remains is not so odd. It is not usual and clearly there is something not right, but it is not yet a mystery.
mh370 - 141 - b :
From Igari on MH370 might as well be heading back to KLIA, was it not for the long Indian Ocean flight.
mh370 - 141 - c :
It does not say in KLIA's flight protocol that emergency turns are not to be made at waypoint Igari.
mh370 - 141 - d :
In an industry that is as regulated as aviation for sure it must be described where to fly in case of an onboard emergency.
mh370 - 141 - e :
Meaning, every airport around the world has its own unique layout and location, hence, their own unique flight protocols.
mh370 - 141 - f :
Schiphol Airport in the Netherlands for sure has different flight protocols than those of Hong Kong.
mh370 - 141 - g :
Each airport requires custom made flight protocols to let a troubled flight land safely at that particular airport.
mh370 - 141 - h :
Given the speed and manoeuvrability of airliners the sky above airports where airliners can wait are quite big.
mh370 - 141 - i :
For a troubled airliner to turn left at waypoint Igari is the most responsible thing to do in case of returning to KLIA.
mh370 - 141 - j :
Let's face it, had MH370 made a wide left turn at Igari, instead of the sharp left turn, it would have been criticized.
mh370 - 141 - k :
The criticism being: letting an emergency wide left turn at Igari taking too long, and so, endangering flights in that same area.
mh370 - 141 - l :
It is the right of every troubled airliner to deviate from its original trajectory.
mh370 - 141 - m :
Every captain knows best what it still can and cannot do once up in the sky, it is not up to the flight controller.
mh370 - 141 - n :
The flight controller can only assist the troubled flight and alert other airliners that there is a troubled flight up ahead.
mh370 - 141 - o :
Had there been contact between MH370 and KLIA, KLIA would have also alerted SIN and SGN.
mh370 - 141 - p :
KLIA lies on a busy pathways so there must be a set of protocols in the control tower to divert a troubled airliner.
mh370 - 141 - q :
The bigger the number of flights up in the sky above KLIA, the more drastic measures are allowed in case of trouble.
mh370 - 141 - r :
Had MH370 turned right at waypoint Igari, chances are it would have endangered many other flights to and from SIN.
mh370 - 141 - s :
Clever thinking of MH370 to turn not only left at Igari, but also, to make the turn left as sharp as possible.
mh370 - 141 - t :
By turning sharp left at Igari Captain Zaharie increased the survival rate of all passengers and crew on board MH370.
mh370 - 141 - u :
Captain Zaharie should have been given a medal for the turn he made with a Boeing 777 at Igari.
mh370 - 141 - v :
Had Captain Zaharie made it safely to KLIA, the sharp left turn he made at Igari would be named: The Zaharie-Turn.
mh370 - 141 - w :
Similar as in Formula One, where corners are named after great drivers, so too will the U-turn Captain Zaharie made.
mh370 - 141 - x :
Horacio Pagani invested a lot of time in finalizing the Zonda and the Huayra. Continuously rethinking to get it right.
mh370 - 141 - y :
Captain Zaharie, a pilot for life, did the same rethinking about emergency situations to get it right when it really mattered.
mh370 - 141 - z :
The fuel for continuously rethinking to achieve a better result, whether in building cars or flying, is: passion.

mh370 - 140 - a :
Whoever turned off the ACARS and the transponder wanted to fly unseen. Stealth mode is what was opted for.
mh370 - 140 - b :
The ability of being invisible and the ability to fly: two abilities we all would like to have.
mh370 - 140 - c :
I think it is fair to say the ability to fly will generally be used for pleasure.
mh370 - 140 - d :
The ability to be invisible is not so much about pleasure: it is more about doing things in secrecy.
mh370 - 140 - e :
If you walk across an open field with no living soul for miles around, being invisible would not really come to mind.
mh370 - 140 - f :
Stealth mode is something the military will always favour. No enemy will waste ammunition by firing into emptiness.
mh370 - 140 - g :
Switching off ACARS and the transponder will make MH370 disappear like Harry Potter's invisibility cloak.
mh370 - 140 - h :
MH370 with ACARS and the transponder on is as visible to the naked eye as when those systems are switched off.
mh370 - 140 - i :
Not wanting to be noticed by the naked eye MH370 had to make sure its behaviour would not make it stand out in the sky.
mh370 - 140 - j :
All around the world there are flight enthusiasts. Any airliner in the sky with strange behaviour would get noticed.
mh370 - 140 - k :
The night MH370 went missing the weather was calm and the skies were clear: perfect weather for flight enthusiasts to look up.
mh370 - 140 - l :
Switching off ACARS and the transponder will make an airliner invisible on civilian radar systems.
mh370 - 140 - m :
So the mantra for MH370 not to get noticed on civilian radar systems was: no ACARS, no transponder and no odd behaviour.
mh370 - 140 - n :
It can be said that he who saw need to disable ACARS and the transponder also thought about staying off military radar.
mh370 - 140 - o :
That person must have realized that military radar can see MH370 without ACARS and the transponder on.
mh370 - 140 - p :
The route of MH370 shows a logical trajectory which does not stand out on military radar. And besides that military radar does not know when an Airliner has switched off its ACARS and transponder: so MH370 did not trigger any suspicion.
mh370 - 140 - q :
Military radar personnel must be aware of civilian pathways. Only in that way can they detect abnormal trajectories.
mh370 - 140 - r :
Deliberately diverting an airliner with 239 people on board and fly it through a busy flight area requires skill.
mh370 - 140 - s :
But, it is much more than skill alone to do with MH370 that what has happened to it.
mh370 - 140 - t :
Because we can only look from the outside to the missing of MH370 it is hard to retrace the steps that were taken.
mh370 - 140 - u :
The amount of planning, research and dedication it took to make the missing of MH370 a success is hard to grasp.
mh370 - 140 - v :
Even more difficult is it to understand what caused the trigger on a mental level for a person to start planning this mystery.
mh370 - 140 - w :
There are so much more variables in this mystery than simply switching off the ACARS and the transponder system.
mh370 - 140 - x :
With hindsight it is very easy to say that switching off the ACARS and transponder system were logical things to do.
mh370 - 140 - y :
It can very well be that switching off the ACARS and transponder system were not part of the initial plan for MH370.
mh370 - 140 - z :
It can very well be that switching off the ACARS and transponder system were merely the result of quick intuitive thinking when MH370 approached Igari.

mh370 - 139 - a :
Flightradar24.com screenshots, to get an idea about what is happening in the skies on the route MH370 took.
mh370 - 139 - b :
Flight BA34 exiting the Malacca Straits like MH370. If BA34 turns left, there are a bunch of airliners to avoid crashing into.
mh370 - 139 - c :
Still, on a 100km scale BA34 has some serious manoeuvring to do if it wants to avoid a mid-air crash when turning left.
mh370 - 139 - d :
Flight BA12 more or less in the same position as BA34. The safest way to turn left for BA12 is to descent and make the turn.
mh370 - 139 - e :
There are times that the skies over the Malaysian-Thai border and the Malacca Straits fall empty: enough space for MH370.
mh370 - 139 - f :
The skies over the Andaman Sea: flying a deliberate deviated airliner in this area is not an easy task.
mh370 - 139 - g :
Once out over the Indian Ocean there is plenty of space for flight QF10 to fly blindfolded.
mh370 - 139 - h :
A good moment for MH370 to enter the quiet skies over Kelantan and make the crossing over the mountainous border area.
mh370 - 139 - i :
14 minutes later and that same area of Kelantan is already a bit busier.
mh370 - 139 - j :
The Kelantan area again but this time a clear sky all the way from Igari towards the Malacca Straits.
mh370 - 139 - k :
Flight OD601 preparing to land at Penang. Above Kelantan flight OD601 is almost on the same route as MH370 was.
mh370 - 139 - l :
Just look at all the traffic above the South-China Sea, the traffic to and from KLIA and SIN. Some guts deviating MH370.
mh370 - 139 - m :
Whoever wants to deviate flight MK441 has an easy job. Once having left Perth it is already over the vast Indian Ocean.
mh370 - 139 - n :
Like MK441, flight SA281 has an easy job in deliberately getting lost over the vast Indian Ocean.
mh370 - 139 - o :
One more, having left Pretoria, flight SA280 has the same easy-to-get-lost potential as SA281. It lacks a cowboy's challenge.
mh370 - 139 - p :
Have a look at the crowed Southeast-Asia skies. This can only be achieved in aviation when things run like clockwork.
mh370 - 139 - q :
Yes a scale of 500km, but still, it looks impressive.
mh370 - 139 - r :
Looking at the flights to and from Australia's West-Coast. MH370 still had to keep its eyes open over the Indian Ocean.
mh370 - 139 - s :
Flights in aviation run like clockwork. Where which flight will be is known long before it is airborne.
mh370 - 139 - t :
Look with Flightradar24.com regularly at a certain spot and you will find a pattern about when the skies will be quiet.
mh370 - 139 - u :
If not with Flightradar24.com, where will one find a tool that gives such insight in a certain part of the sky? There is no better tool available.
mh370 - 139 - v :
Without research chances would have been high MH370 would have had a mid-air crash above the Malacca Straits.
mh370 - 139 - w :
If he who deviated MH370 did not do any research, how in God's name would one have expected to avoid a mid-air crash? Only by doing research was it possible to fly MH370 to the crash site in the Indian Ocean.
mh370 - 139 - x :
Even more so, what would one do next when (surprisingly) finding oneself over the Indian Ocean alive and well? If one had not prepared himself mentally one would lose one's mind in the time ahead.
mh370 - 139 - y :
You know, instead of continuing for oblivion over the Indian Ocean, returning to KLIA would have been a bigger stunt.
mh370 - 139 - z :
Somehow it always adds so much more flair to a criminal stunt when in the end all involved turn out to be safe and sound.

mh370 - 138 - a :
If one planned the missing of MH370 to become famous, to make a World's first so to say, then that one succeeded.
mh370 - 138 - b :
It would have been nicer to still be around the living and enjoy this World's first.
mh370 - 138 - c :
One could easily have flown a part over the Indian Ocean and land on an airfield on the West-Coast of Australia.
mh370 - 138 - d :
Even landing at Jakarta International would have been a good option to shake up the World and enjoy your World's first.
mh370 - 138 - e :
No need to fly MH370 into oblivion. There was plenty of fuel aboard MH370 to disappear of radar for a couple of hours.
mh370 - 138 - f :
Optional route: Igari to the Andaman Islands, passing Aceh towards the Cocos Islands, Christmas Island, Jakarta International.
mh370 - 138 - g :
Finishing in style would also have been possible by taking the route from the Andaman Islands to the Maldives.
mh370 - 138 - h :
The Maldives, what better final stop there is for the person piloting MH370. The Maldives: a great holiday destination.
mh370 - 138 - i :
The Maldives, instead of oblivion over the Indian Ocean, would have been mentally so much easier for the person piloting MH370.
mh370 - 138 - j :
The Maldives would also have been more fun when all aboard would wake up at the Maldives: surprise!
mh370 - 138 - k :
The Maldives, Jakarta International, the West-Coast of Australia: all good options. No need for oblivion over the Indian Ocean.
mh370 - 138 - l :
Choosing oblivion over the Indian Ocean is the most difficult option there is for MH370: mentally and technically.
mh370 - 138 - m :
For any pilot alive today, flying MH370 into oblivion over the Indian Ocean can hardly be beaten: all would just be a copycat.
mh370 - 138 - n :
Perhaps the one who planned the missing of MH370 knew: such an act can only be executed once.
mh370 - 138 - o :
Meaning, laws would be put in place to prevent a similar MH370-missing from happening again.
mh370 - 138 - p :
Then again, flying secretly to the Maldives from KLIA, instead of to Beijing, can still become a World's first.
mh370 - 138 - q :
There is even a chance that flying secretly to the Maldives will become more famous and favourable than what happened to MH370.
mh370 - 138 - r :
It is always more enjoyable and worthy to remember when a World's first with all involved can walk away safe and sound.
mh370 - 138 - s :
No one likes to remember the holocaust for kicks. People are not made to daily remember terrible things.
mh370 - 138 - t :
Let someone undergo the same things he has done to others and he will scream in the same way as his victims.
mh370 - 138 - u :
Flying MH370 into oblivion as a World's first. Think of the study someone had to do to come up with such a plan.
mh370 - 138 - v :
Where can one find the aviation archive needed to come up with the plan for MH370? In one's head.
mh370 - 138 - w :
Aviation is all about safety. The only archive you will find is about preventing crashes and hijacking by passengers.
mh370 - 138 - x :
There is no archive in which is stated that security measures must be taken to rule out hijacking by airline personnel.
mh370 - 138 - y :
One could argue that a deliberate missing of MH370 was an act to show that aviation safety can be further enhanced.
mh370 - 138 - z :
The missing of MH370: an act of self-sacrifice. Prior to MH370 no one would have believed airliners could go missing.

mh370 - 137 - a :
Flightradar24.com can almost replace any flight map. Get a subscribed account and there is even more information at hand.
mh370 - 137 - b :
Flight OD601 traveling more or less the same path as MH370 after MH370 had made the left turn at Igari.
mh370 - 137 - c :
It is said that MH370 tried to make radar evasive movements when flying back over the Malaysian Peninsula.
mh370 - 137 - d :
Flight OD601 is also considered to avoid radar because it is flying close to both Malaysian and Tai border? Guess not.
mh370 - 137 - e :
Flying back over the Malaysian Peninsula, MH370 flew over, or very close to, Malaysian Airforce base Butterworth.
mh370 - 137 - f :
Butterworth Airbase is the airbase of the Royal Malaysian Airforce. Daring move of MH370 to fly over an airbase.
mh370 - 137 - g :
Flying over an airbase with a hijacked airliner does not really say that one tries to hide or to be invisible.
mh370 - 137 - h :
Flying over an airbase with a hijacked airliner says more something like: "here I am, come and chase me".
mh370 - 137 - i :
He who was piloting MH370 never had the intention of flying into oblivion but rather to ignite a one of a kind chase.
mh370 - 137 - j :
One would only fly a hijacked airliner over an airbase if one wants to challenge the military personnel working there.
mh370 - 137 - k :
There was no better route towards the Indian Ocean, when being at Igari, than flying over Butterworth Airbase. Really?
mh370 - 137 - l :
Ask a Qantas pilot whether or not there was a better route from Igari towards the Indian Ocean than flying over Butterworth.
mh370 - 137 - m :
One could argue that by switching of both identification systems, ACARS and the transponder, MH370 tried to avoid confusion on civilian radar.
mh370 - 137 - n :
Not willing to be found? Then MH370 should not have flown back into the crowed skies over Malaysia and the Malacca Straits.
mh370 - 137 - o :
Only a show-off would fly the route MH370 flew from Igari back over Malaysia and into the Malacca Straits.
mh370 - 137 - p :
When playing hide and seek the fun and excited part is to hide and hearing the other person trying to locate you.
mh370 - 137 - q :
Each of us would only play hide and seek when we know someone is searching us, meaning, when both parties know the game is on.
mh370 - 137 - r :
Never heard of someone deciding to hide prior to all participants of the hide and seek game having met each other.
mh370 - 137 - s :
It can be said that the one in control of MH370 balanced the search for the seekers by flying over an airbase.
mh370 - 137 - t :
Meaning, without active ACARS and transponder but by flying over an airbase, MH370 knew it provided a hint only for military "eyes" only since it would not show up on civilian primary and secondary radar.
mh370 - 137 - u :
An airbase has radar capabilities that can see airplanes with and without their ACARS and transponder switched on.
mh370 - 137 - v :
Detecting airplanes in the sky is something that is the daily activity of an airbase like Butterworth.
mh370 - 137 - w :
Ever heard of an airbase that is not good at detecting unidentified airliners up in the sky? Flying over their head so to say.
mh370 - 137 - x :
The best way to fly over an airbase unnoticed is by not hiding. No one suspects an airliner that is clearly visible on radar.
mh370 - 137 - y :
If one chooses to turn off ACARS and the transponder it is so because one fears the civilian radar more than the military radar.
mh370 - 137 - z :
He who chooses to leave a trail behind wants to be followed. He who chooses to only leave questions behind wants what? Fame?

mh370 - 136 - a :
It is not strange to assume that before MH370 reached waypoint Igari there might have been some panic on board.
mh370 - 136 - b :
Meaning, he who wants to execute the sharp left turn at Igari must make sure he is alone in the cockpit.
mh370 - 136 - c :
Getting the cockpit of a Boeing 777 to yourself means that one pilot needs to make up an excuse to send the other one out.
mh370 - 136 - d :
Of course it can be that both pilot and co-pilot teamed-up.
mh370 - 136 - e :
To be alone in the cockpit at Igari means that at least 10 to 15 minutes before reaching Igari you must have the cockpit to yourself.
mh370 - 136 - f :
If pilot and co-pilot would team up they really must be getting along well, given MH370's long Indian Ocean flight with death at its end.
mh370 - 136 - g :
Only lovers have a bond strong enough to sit inside a closed cockpit while flying into oblivion.
mh370 - 136 - h :
Even if the one in the cockpit of MH370 planned everything, losing one's mind while executing the plan is a real scenario.
mh370 - 136 - i :
Killing yourself and all people aboard MH370 is mentally not an easy thing. It takes a lot of strength to keep a stable mind and body.
mh370 - 136 - j :
When there is only one person in the cockpit of MH370, that person only must make sure he himself keeps a stable mind.
mh370 - 136 - k :
When there are two people involved in the MH370 plan then that means that both people must keep a stable mind.
mh370 - 136 - l :
From a plan point of view: the more people are involved in the criminal plan of MH370, the higher the risk of failure.
mh370 - 136 - m :
When a group plans to perform a bank robbery, the mind-set all group members have is to gain a large sum of money.
mh370 - 136 - n :
Equally important when robbing a bank as a team is having the mind-set of not getting yourself killed or caught.
mh370 - 136 - o :
No one who designs a plan for a bank robber of which the goal is for each team member to get himself killed.
mh370 - 136 - p :
The better the plan for a successful bank robbery, the more people are willing to join.
mh370 - 136 - q :
In the case of MH370 the outcome is destruction of 239 people including oneself, and a Boeing 777.
mh370 - 136 - r :
Where will you find a partner in crime that wants to join a plan of which the outcome is each other's death? You do not just go to a bar.
mh370 - 136 - s :
As a pilot, and as a co-pilot, passenger and aircraft safety is psychologically imprinted throughout flight school, and most likely also in your DNA.
mh370 - 136 - t :
How to bypass the psychological barrier of passenger and aircraft safety? Quite though for someone who loves being a pilot.
mh370 - 136 - u :
What are the odds that a pilot finds a co-pilot with the same destructive idea for MH370? Such things do not happen suddenly.
mh370 - 136 - v :
Falling in love can happen suddenly. Meeting someone who instantly wants to crash a Boeing 777 with you? Not really.
mh370 - 136 - w :
You must spend a lot of time with each other to get to learn of each other's wish of wanting to crash a Boeing 777.
mh370 - 136 - x :
Two people who have never met can feel a connection upon meeting each other for the first time. Next step: kiss, not suicide.
mh370 - 136 - y :
From sex you roll on into marriage. These steps do not occur between pilot and co-pilot planning a crash.
mh370 - 136 - z :
What are pilot and co-pilot going to do when MH370 will be flying the long Indian Ocean flight? Playing cards? Discussing the upcoming death?

mh370 - 135 - a :
So this is the cockpit that Captain Zaharie tried to build: the cockpit of a Boeing 777, Cockpit of Biman's Boeing 777-200ER.
mh370 - 135 - b :
Looks good, does it not? Even if you do not know much about aviation, the first impression is its sound appearance.
mh370 - 135 - c :
The whole cockpit just shows how well the engineers of Boeing have thought all through.
mh370 - 135 - d :
It is almost as if the engineers of Boeing have consulted a Zen master in order get that peaceful and clear cockpit design.
mh370 - 135 - e :
All buttons and switches neatly ordered. Displays well divided and aligned for the pilot and co-pilot each.
mh370 - 135 - f :
With such a well-designed cockpit, how is it even possible for MH370 to get in trouble? You can't go wrong in this cockpit.
mh370 - 135 - g :
Commanding an airliner from such a well-designed cockpit will give any pilot a feeling of being in control.
mh370 - 135 - h :
Fact is that with such a well cockpit design, the only thing needed for a safe flight is a pilot who knows how to fly.
mh370 - 135 - i :
Captain Zaharie drove the service engineers at KLIA nuts by constantly asking them for leftover spare parts for his simulator.
mh370 - 135 - j :
Since the missing of MH370 it is safe to say that the rehearsal of Captain Zaharie on his simulator payed off.
mh370 - 135 - k :
Captain Zaharie's simulator lacks almost 95 percent of an actual Boeing 777's cockpit equipment.
mh370 - 135 - l :
95% of a Boeing 777's equipment was not present in Captain Zaharie's simulator and still he could practise on it.
mh370 - 135 - m :
Awesome pilot this Captain Zaharie for him being able to rehearse the missing of MH370 on a toy simulator.
mh370 - 135 - n :
Captain Zaharie was a dedicated lifetime pilot, he always has been.
mh370 - 135 - o :
Wonder what high ranked pilots of Qantas can rehearse on when seated behind Captain Zaharie's simulator.
mh370 - 135 - p :
How would a Qantas pilot rehearse when planning the missing of MH370? Building an exact replica of Captain Zaharie's simulator.
mh370 - 135 - q :
Without his passion, Captain Zaharie would never have put so much effort into building his simulator.
mh370 - 135 - r :
Captain Zaharie must have wanted to rehearse some very specific things given his highly under-equipped simulator.
mh370 - 135 - s :
Having criminal intent to plan the missing of an airliner and to rehearse the plan one builds an under-equipped simulator.
mh370 - 135 - t :
Specific needs for cockpit rehearsal asks for specific equipment, especially when rehearsing for the missing of MH370.
mh370 - 135 - u :
Meaning, Captain Zaharie must have asked the guys of maintenance more than once for these specific parts.
mh370 - 135 - v :
Succeeding in finding the essential parts for his simulator, Captain Zaharie must have been filled with joy.
mh370 - 135 - w :
Some consider Qantas' pilots superior to Captain Zaharie. I guess those pilots require even less equipment in their simulator.
mh370 - 135 - x :
Missing tweet.
mh370 - 135 - y :
Flying a Boeing 777 lies within the finesse of detailed operations and decisions made by the pilots in the cockpit.
mh370 - 135 - z :
Rehearsing the hijacking of an airliner on a simulator that lacks 95% of an actual Boeing 777's cockpit.

mh370 - 134 - a :
A flight simulator is only good for playing around with the controls. However, Flightradar24.com (/-7.78,102.58/4) is something else.
mh370 - 134 - b :
If you want to plan a vanishing trick then Flightradar24.com is what you need.
mh370 - 134 - c :
Flightradar24.com provides pilots with data and an overview that the Flight Simulator game by far cannot do.
mh370 - 134 - d :
If you are looking for a gap in a route then Flightradar24.com is what you need to use. There simply is no better tool.
mh370 - 134 - e :
Behind the scenes experts know that the hysteria about Captain Zaharie's flight simulator is pure hysteria and short-sighted view.
mh370 - 134 - f :
Experts know: no experienced pilot can train itself seriously with a homemade flight simulator.
mh370 - 134 - g :
Put fifty experienced pilots in a room and ask them what they would need to commit a crime, if it was any, like MH370.
mh370 - 134 - h :
None of those fifty pilots would answer that they would need to build a flight simulator at home.
mh370 - 134 - i :
There are only a few pilots that spend time on building a flight simulator at home: to satisfy their love for flying.
mh370 - 134 - j :
Only those pilots whose love for their profession runs deep in their soul will spend time building a flight simulator like Captain Zaharie did.
mh370 - 134 - k :
Flightradar24.com is something many pilots spend time on when not being on duty.
mh370 - 134 - l :
Flightradar24.com provide off-duty pilots with great fun because it allows them to really see live action in the sky.
mh370 - 134 - m :
Flightradar24.com acts like an aquarium for pilots: looking at it late at night brings relaxation.
mh370 - 134 - n :
Late at night one can spend hours just watching the airliners move on Flightradar24.com. It is almost therapeutic.
mh370 - 134 - o :
In the browser history of Captain Zaharie nothing could be found regarding Flightradar24.com? There must be.
mh370 - 134 - p :
Watching Flightradar24.com must have come up when being with his grandchildren or when being with family.
mh370 - 134 - q :
If one cannot understand the joy of monitoring global aviation does not mean that it is not happening.
mh370 - 134 - r :
Watching Flightradar24.com is truly a must-try for those who seek relaxation at night, pilot or no pilot.
mh370 - 134 - s :
The relaxation effect of Flightradar24.com comes from the fact that a lot is going on but at a slow rate: an aquarium.
mh370 - 134 - t :
Zooming in to a certain area provides a great view on how the airliners move.
mh370 - 134 - u :
Recommendable is zooming in up to a scale of 100 kilometres. At that scale you see the airliners happily move around.
mh370 - 134 - v :
Zooming in to a scale of 50 kilometres gives you a great view on the movement of the airliners, especially in a busy area.
mh370 - 134 - w :
Look at the Malacca Straits in Flightradar24.com, it really is a busy flight route. Flying there demands a focused mind.
mh370 - 134 - x :
Looking at the gaps between the airliners over the Malacca Straits, and considering their speed, it leaves little room for error.
mh370 - 134 - y :
Flying the busy Malacca Straits is not easy, let alone, navigating that area with a troubled MH370 in the dark of night.
mh370 - 134 - z :
One knew that turning MH370 at waypoint Igari would not lead to a collision, later that night, over the Malacca Straits.

mh370 - 133 - a :
A physical map is more suitable to plot an Indian Ocean flight than a simulation in Microsoft's Flight Simulator game.
mh370 - 133 - b :
Captain Zaharie, with all his experience and flight hours, does not need to practice on a homemade flight simulator.
mh370 - 133 - c :
Unexperienced pilots will run simulator hours to familiarise themselves with the controls of the cockpit.
mh370 - 133 - d :
One other thing unexperienced pilots run simulator hours for is to learn the behaviour of an airliner.
mh370 - 133 - e :
There is nothing above the Indian Ocean that will make one feel the need to build a flight simulator for.
mh370 - 133 - f :
He who builds a flight simulator does so because he/she is a flight enthusiast.
mh370 - 133 - g :
If realistic radar coverage is a feature in Flight Simulator then investigators might be on to something.
mh370 - 133 - h :
On the other hand, if realistic radar coverage is part of Flight Simulator, it for sure is common knowledge amongst pilots.
mh370 - 133 - i :
A pilot who flies unidentifiable over the military border of two somewhat distrusting countries is not worried about being pursued.
mh370 - 133 - j :
What should be looked for is if the route MH370 flew from waypoint Igari is the best route to fly into oblivion.
mh370 - 133 - k :
When MH370's Indian Ocean trajectory is mirrored over a horizontal line, the mirrored trajectory leads to Beijing.
mh370 - 133 - l :
A flight simulator in the home of Captain Zaharie that allows for planning the biggest mystery in aviation for years to come.
mh370 - 133 - m :
A homemade flight simulator that allows for planning the death of all its passengers and crew. Some special simulator that is.
mh370 - 133 - n :
Honestly, what can be rehearsed with Captain Zaharie's flight simulator that he could not practise in a real cockpit? Nothing.
mh370 - 133 - o :
One builds a flight simulator to practise for murder and then posts it on Facebook. No, too much honesty and pride on his face.
mh370 - 133 - p :
You know, even the creators of the Flight Simulator game would not know how to use their software for criminal intent.
mh370 - 133 - q :
Moreover, the creators of the Flight Simulator game would have to do serious overhauling of their software to make that happen.
mh370 - 133 - r :
There is nothing more boring in the Flight Simulator game than to fly a lengthy Indian Ocean flight.
mh370 - 133 - s :
The best flight in the Flight Simulator game are those where you fly between major cities and along busy flight corridors.
mh370 - 133 - t :
Experts will tell you that even an actual flight simulator from Boeing is not helpful in planning the dissapearance of MH370: all you will hear is "Pull up!....Pull up!...."
mh370 - 133 - u :
For any experienced pilot the problem is not how to fly an airliner alone, it is about how to get rid of the co-pilot.
mh370 - 133 - v :
An experienced pilot does not require time on his homemade flight simulator. He is more occupied with mental practise.
mh370 - 133 - w :
How long did it take Captain Zaharie to build his flight simulator? And all that time he had his mind on killing 239 people? Not likely.
mh370 - 133 - x :
A homemade flight simulator cannot give anything other to an experienced pilot, like Captain Zaharie, then sheer fun.
mh370 - 133 - y :
Someone as experienced as Captain Zaharie can fly a Boeing 777 with its eyes closed. No flight simulator needed.
mh370 - 133 - z :
The reason for an experienced pilot to build a flight simulator comes from the sheer love for flying.

mh370 - 132 - a :
Had MH370 not disappeared it would, of course, still be flying today.
mh370 - 132 - b :
MH370 would have passed waypoint Igari thirty times already, if not more.
mh370 - 132 - c :
Captain Zaharie would have flown around the world at least six times, after MH370 had landed that morning at BCIA.
mh370 - 132 - d :
Captain Zaharie would even have flown quite a few times over the current search area when flying to and from Perth.
mh370 - 132 - e :
In fact, Captain Zaharie has flown over the current search area quite a few times prior to the disappearance of MH370.
mh370 - 132 - f :
The current search area is not simply a spot that you pick when searching for a crash site for your Boeing 777.
mh370 - 132 - g :
The current search area simply lies way too close to Australia for anyone who seeks oblivion.
mh370 - 132 - h :
Only he who has a special bond with the current search area will pick the current search area as the preferable spot to crash.
mh370 - 132 - i :
One must have flown many times near the current search area to choose that spot as the crash site.
mh370 - 132 - j :
When you intend to kill 239 people, including yourself, you pick a spot that you are familiar with.
mh370 - 132 - k :
Or better said, you pick a spot that you are most comfortable with. A comfortable spot for a historical act.
mh370 - 132 - l :
In one way it can be said that the current search area is one of the best spots to crash MH370, given the ocean current.
mh370 - 132 - m :
Meaning, the current search area is far enough for debris not to wash up on Australia's west coast.
mh370 - 132 - n :
And also, the current search area is far enough from Madagascar's east coast for debris to be long enough out at sea.
mh370 - 132 - o :
For debris to be long enough out at sea, meaning, long enough out at sea for debris to get compromised and sink.
mh370 - 132 - p :
It is about fuel calculation. There was most probably not a better crash site within reach than the current search area.
mh370 - 132 - q :
With MH370's fuel load at KLIA one would already have known that the vicinity of the current search area was within reach.
mh370 - 132 - r :
And of course, one of the best ways to extend an airliners reach is to fly on autopilot.
mh370 - 132 - s :
Many pilots flying from Perth out over the Indian Ocean must have thought about it: will they find us when we crash here.
mh370 - 132 - t :
Any pilot will answer that flying over long stretches of ocean is a bit unpleasant: no place to land in an emergency.
mh370 - 132 - u :
When flying from Perth all pilots are faced with that point of safe return, i.e., not enough fuel to return to Perth.
mh370 - 132 - v :
That point of safe return is something flight MH370 most likely passed two to two and a half hours before it crashed.
mh370 - 132 - w :
The fuel load of MH370 and the dynamics of the Indian Ocean current could have been someone's objects of study.
mh370 - 132 - x :
You know, it is a bit mesmerising that MH370, with the speed it was flying, did not endanger any other airliner.
mh370 - 132 - y :
This goes especially for airliners which were flying over the Andaman Sea and the Malacca Straits.
mh370 - 132 - z :
Ocean currents: Wikipedia, Ocean current.

mh370 - 131 - a :
The disappearance of flight MH370 being the result of the law of Karma does not add up.
mh370 - 131 - b :
The law of Karma do not compensate for human error, nor for criminal intent, inflicted upon innocent people.
mh370 - 131 - c :
Looking at flight MH370, Karma really had to do some serious timing to get everyone boarded on time.
mh370 - 131 - d :
Not only did Karma had to control the passengers and crew, but also, the awareness of the flight controller at KLIA.
mh370 - 131 - e :
Besides the flight controller Karma must take in to account many more aspects to let MH370 undergo that what happened to it.
mh370 - 131 - f :
Perhaps it is the case that things like the missing of MH370 only happen when Karma can conclude that all is perfectly aligned.
mh370 - 131 - g :
Having said that, what if Karma has the margin to affect innocent people? No, it is against its own laws.
mh370 - 131 - h :
Meaning, the law of Karma can be executed when it can affect 80% of the souls that are on its list.
mh370 - 131 - i :
If Karma has that margin then such a thing really comes close to how humans make decisions.
mh370 - 131 - j :
Take e.g. a drone strike at an Afghan wedding: when there is one terrorist and 300 innocent people all is good to go.
mh370 - 131 - k :
For sure a drone strike at an Afghan wedding is a tough decision to make, but, it is executed nonetheless.
mh370 - 131 - l :
If the "good side" makes such decisions then for sure the "terrorist side" can equally decide to do so.
mh370 - 131 - m :
Perhaps Karma sees affecting the lives of innocent people as collateral damage the same way the military and politicians do.
mh370 - 131 - n :
In that case a more humane thing would be for Karma to let accidents happen quickly and painless.
mh370 - 131 - o :
Quick and painless: certainly not by means of a 7-hour flight over the Indian Ocean that results in a crash.
mh370 - 131 - p :
Karma is a part of nature, both created by God. God is the supreme engineer. God is flawless.
mh370 - 131 - q :
If it is meant that Karma can affect innocent people, because of a higher goal perhaps, then I think it is fair to say that the law of Karma is poorly engineered.
mh370 - 131 - r :
What higher goal is worth bringing suffering to innocent people? A system by the hand of God does not work in that way.
mh370 - 131 - s :
Karma, like nature, is a mechanism. It has no arbitrariness.
mh370 - 131 - t :
Equally so, Karma is a spiritual mechanism and not a physical one like nature.
mh370 - 131 - u :
Karma is the track record of the soul: it is build to affect an individual, not an entire airliner.
mh370 - 131 - v :
The flight data recorder of MH370 needs to be found to interpret its information. Karma does not require a readout.
mh370 - 131 - w :
MH370's flight data recorder can be separated from the aircraft. Karma is embedded in a person's soul: inseparable.
mh370 - 131 - x :
Flight data recorders have a limited storage capacity. Karma, however, is not bothered by such limitations.
mh370 - 131 - y :
Karma records and processes non-stop, it is a system in which bugs are not present.
mh370 - 131 - z :
For the law of Karma to result in all passengers and crew of flight MH370 to be on this flight is not a satisfying answer. It is too easy to file MH370 in that way.

mh370 - 130 - a :
In the early days after the disappearance of MH370 it was in the news that MH370 went on a roller coaster ride.
mh370 - 130 - b :
It was told that MH370 flew somewhere around 30000 feet and then dropped rapidly to 3000 or 5000 feet.
mh370 - 130 - c :
Where did this story come from? It end up in global news as far as the New York Times.
mh370 - 130 - d :
An expert commented that most likely passengers would almost not survive such a rapid steep descent of an airliner.
mh370 - 130 - e :
The reason passengers would likely not survive this is why military pilots wear G-suits. The human body needs support.
mh370 - 130 - f :
With the constant surveillance for incoming rockets it is fair to say that in Israeli airspace MH370 would not have gone missing. But, even Israeli operators get tired.
mh370 - 130 - g :
Israeli flight controllers cannot afford a margin of error: a positive gain perhaps of decades of military tension.
mh370 - 130 - h :
Any plan to make flight MH370 disappear would never have succeed had flight MH370 taken off from TLV airport.
mh370 - 130 - i :
Israeli airport security would not have been able to detect bad intentions from Captain Zaharie, had there been any.
mh370 - 130 - j :
Bad intentions from airline personnel at TLV airport is something even Israeli airport security is not monitoring for.
mh370 - 130 - k :
Monitoring airline personnel at TLV airport is something that Israeli security executes in the same way as it is done at KLIA.
mh370 - 130 - l :
A threat from the inside is one of the most difficult to detect, no matter what nationality and racial background you have.
mh370 - 130 - m :
Using a threat from the inside is something the best agencies in the world wheel as one of the ultimate strategies.
mh370 - 130 - n :
Israeli security has no techniques in personal questionnaires to detect bad intentions from an experienced captain.
mh370 - 130 - o :
Flying to TLV airport is a thrill for every captain given the raised security measures in Israeli aviation.
mh370 - 130 - p :
The number of times Captain Zaharie has gone through Israeli security is quite high. Israeli security knew Captain Zaharie as a professional pilot.
mh370 - 130 - q :
Flight paths around TLV airport do not contain waypoints like Igari: where an airliner can go unseen.
mh370 - 130 - r :
Even Israeli radar systems have their limitations in the same way Malaysian radar systems have.
mh370 - 130 - s :
Israeli security personnel would just as less suspect their own experienced pilots as KLIA security would.
mh370 - 130 - t :
Malaysia, like Israel, are (for good reasons no doubt) at some points not easy-going countries, especially at airports.
mh370 - 130 - u :
Had Captain Zaharie been an Israeli pilot, Israeli security would have started a similar investigation as Malaysian security did.
mh370 - 130 - v :
No doubt that Israeli security is highly skilled, however, there is a limitation to what any organisation can do.
mh370 - 130 - w :
Israeli authorities would never allow the possibility of switching off the ACARS system.
mh370 - 130 - x :
The ACARS system of an Israeli Boeing 777 can be equipped with additional software features.
mh370 - 130 - y :
Aviation nowadays is much safer because global regulation dictates the use of standardised parts and software.
mh370 - 130 - z :
Israeli modified ACARS software will only be implemented in those cases where it has good advantages.

mh370 - 129 - a :
Goodnight Malaysia three seven zero. There is stress in that person's voice. Timeline 11:20 (link is removed or relocted - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aC7nL_wpPy8, Missing Malaysian airline MH 370 Untold story)
mh370 - 129 - b :
Compared to the relaxed way of speaking at timeline 2:25, the voice at timeline 11:20 is stressed.
mh370 - 129 - c :
The voice at timeline 2:25 sounds comfortable and confident. A display of sheer routine.
mh370 - 129 - d :
The voice at timeline 11:20 sounds like a teenager who has secretly taken his daddy's car.
mh370 - 129 - e :
The voice at timeline 2:25 is clearly sounding like someone who is confident, like if he has an easy routine flight ahead.
mh370 - 129 - f :
The voice at timeline 2:25 clearly sounds like someone who has his life up and running and no worries whatsoever.
mh370 - 129 - g :
The voice at timeline 2:25 says: "I've got sunshine on a cloudy day. When it is cold outside I've got the month of May".
mh370 - 129 - h :
Everyone who has visited Southeast Asia hears the typical relaxed and worry-free way of speaking at timeline 2:25.
mh370 - 129 - i :
The voice at timeline 2:25 is a happy voice, a voice of someone in love with the good life he is living.
mh370 - 129 - j :
The voice at timeline 2:25 exceeds the many negative sounds of daily voices on the internet.
mh370 - 129 - k :
The voice at timeline 2:25 says: "I can fly this airliner seated backwards with two eyes closed".
mh370 - 129 - l :
The voice at timeline 2:25 lacks the compulsive obsessive tone of Gollum's voice saying: "My precious".
mh370 - 129 - m :
The voice, like the eyes, tell a lot about a person. Women are quick to analyse their husband this way.
mh370 - 129 - n :
The voice at timeline 2:25 clearly indicates that person is positively awake, no signs of sleepiness.
mh370 - 129 - o :
The voice at timeline 2:25 is thoroughly relaxed and has nothing to hide. Such a voice cannot be faked.
mh370 - 129 - p :
A pilot with years of experience, on a routine flight and with such good weather has no stress in his voice. It does not get any better.
mh370 - 129 - q :
One could say that the voice at timeline 11:20 sounds professional.
mh370 - 129 - r :
Professionalism and anxiety sometimes lay close together. One is so badly needed over the other when things go wrong.
mh370 - 129 - s :
How to interpret the voice of a person? A Tanzanian e.g. has a different intonation than an Italian.
mh370 - 129 - t :
In order to determine the meaning behind someone's intonation one would require familiarity with how those people speak daily.
mh370 - 129 - u :
One would definitely also require knowledge of the everyday intonation of that person.
mh370 - 129 - v :
In a non-stressed situation a person is automatically inclined to use his natural intonation.
mh370 - 129 - w :
Politicians practise their intonation because it determines their careers. A Boeing 777 does not have to practise in that way.
mh370 - 129 - x :
Cesar Millan can interpret the type of bark (intonation) from dogs.
mh370 - 129 - y :
The level of intonation from a Boeing 777 pilot about to execute an horrific act differs largely than that from a normal pilot.
mh370 - 129 - z :
MH370 took off with weather that is considered as one of the best to have in aviation. No reason to change one's intonation.

mh370 - 128 - a :
At some point it becomes irresponsible to make such a sharp left turn with an airliner the way MH370 did at waypoint Igari.
mh370 - 128 - b :
There are problems severe enough to force an airliner to make a sharp left turn without any problem.
mh370 - 128 - c :
Making a sudden left or right turn can usually only be seen with cars and military aircrafts.
mh370 - 128 - d :
When a car deviates abruptly from its path it is usually because the driver is trying to avoid a collision.
mh370 - 128 - e :
After a car has made a sudden evasive manoeuvre, the driver would normally return to his original route.
mh370 - 128 - f :
One knew that the left turn at waypoint Igari is was better move to make than a right turn at Igari.
mh370 - 128 - g :
Having full control one could have chosen to descent, to turn right, simply continue or even to climb a little higher.
mh370 - 128 - h :
Of all the moves one could choose when seated in a Boeing 777's cockpit, one chooses to make a Top Gun style left turn.
mh370 - 128 - i :
The move made at waypoint Igari tells about the psychology in the cockpit at that moment.
mh370 - 128 - j :
When no one cares anymore, why not push the engines to their max instead of making a left turn at waypoint Igari.
mh370 - 128 - k :
When one wants to get famous one needs a plan. When one wants to make history one needs a master plan.
mh370 - 128 - l :
The best aviation training instructors would find it a bit hard to come up with a good reason to make a left turn at Igari.
mh370 - 128 - m :
The training programs for Boeing 777 pilots include executing sharp turns at waypoints.
mh370 - 128 - n :
Every Boeing 777 pilot knows that at waypoint Igari there is a legal possibility to make a sharp left turn.
mh370 - 128 - o :
In the case of MH370 one does require an aviation detective and not a plain detective. Even better: a combined team of the both.
mh370 - 128 - p :
Aviation training instructors should implement details of flight MH370 in their training programs.
mh370 - 128 - q :
Flying over land is more restricted than flying over water, hence, criminal intentions flourish better when flying over seas and oceans.
mh370 - 128 - r :
For most people flying over land feels more safe than flying over an ocean.
mh370 - 128 - s :
It occurs only a few times a year that during a simulator training a pilot makes a sharp left turn at a waypoint.
mh370 - 128 - t :
Normally, waiting to turn an aircraft at a waypoint is a sign of decent pilot behaviour.
mh370 - 128 - u :
Not waiting to turn the aircraft at a waypoint will result in dangerous and chaotic scenes in the sky.
mh370 - 128 - v :
Waypoints are clearly recognizable and well-known marks in the sky. Waypoints are not hiding-places in the sky.
mh370 - 128 - w :
Trying to flee one would expect he who flees does want not to make use of such well-known marks.
mh370 - 128 - x :
If the idea was to divert MH370 via waypoints then it would also make more sense to also fly by waypoints over the Indian Ocean.
mh370 - 128 - y :
Abruptly deciding not to fly by waypoints is similar as when driving a car and suddenly drive the car of the road into the fields.
mh370 - 128 - z :
One reason for MH370 not flying by waypoints over the Indian Ocean is because that would result in an unwanted detour: limited amount of fuel.

mh370 - 127 - a :
Wonder what Airbus engineers would say about flight MH370 and the many aspects of it.
mh370 - 127 - b :
Meaning, hearing it from the actual engineers themselves and not from an Airbus representative.
mh370 - 127 - c :
In an airliner the possibility of switching off systems by the crew is most likely still a safety feature.
mh370 - 127 - d :
The action of switching off systems could be registered and transmitted by the ACARS system.
mh370 - 127 - e :
Working with passwords to safeguard the systems from being switched off is a dangerous feature to have.
mh370 - 127 - f :
Not using an actual password but rather the more common personnel ID is a lighter option to use.
mh370 - 127 - g :
It is best to also let a psychologist analyse human capability regarding password handling in panic situations.
mh370 - 127 - h :
If password implementation comes with risks it should not be implemented since it can worsen outcome.
mh370 - 127 - i :
There is also the danger of underestimating the risks that come with password implementation in a management meeting.
mh370 - 127 - j :
A simple key card would do the trick. No need to remember a password, just do not lose the card.
mh370 - 127 - k :
With all the passwords to remember these days an ordinary key is a welcome change.
mh370 - 127 - l :
One ring to rule them all, "One key card to rule them all".
mh370 - 127 - m :
A key requires a keyhole. A suicidal pilot does not require a fully packed Boeing 777: a mentally disturbed pilot does.
mh370 - 127 - n :
Nowadays there are already systems implemented in cars that monitor if the driver is about to fall asleep.
mh370 - 127 - o :
It will take a little longer before there are such systems in the cockpit of an airliner.
mh370 - 127 - p :
The moment when there are systems that can monitor a pilot's mental state in the cockpit will be in 2266.
mh370 - 127 - q :
Furthermore, in the year 2266 the original waypoint Igari will have new waypoints stacked on top (higher altitude).
mh370 - 127 - r :
In the year 2266 there will still be the possibility that an airliner goes missing: every system can be broken down or be switched off.
mh370 - 127 - s :
We cannot think of how to manipulate an airliner's tracking system in 2266, but someone growing up in that time does.
mh370 - 127 - t :
History is already written they say. True perhaps for history in general but the details are ever flexible.
mh370 - 127 - u :
Wonder what history the Airbus engineers have already written.
mh370 - 127 - v :
The more fuel efficient an airliner's turbines will become, the more new pathways and waypoints will be required.
mh370 - 127 - w :
Since the pathways over land are already heavily used, new pathways and waypoints will be situated over the oceans.
mh370 - 127 - x :
In the year 2266 deep-water salvage expeditions will still be very difficult to do.
mh370 - 127 - y :
Underwater mountain chains cannot easily be searched, not now and not in a couple of hundred years from now.
mh370 - 127 - z :
One may say that future technology will make things better. This could very well be true was it not for Man's dark nature.

mh370 - 126 - a :
There is too much coincidence is this case for comfort.
mh370 - 126 - b :
If someone was planning all this then surely that person would have known that he was creating too much coincidence.
mh370 - 126 - c :
That person would have known that every Boeing 777 pilot would deduct the steps made after the final radio contact.
mh370 - 126 - d :
Come to think of it, it does not even require so much planning for he who knows the flight protocols at Igari.
mh370 - 126 - e :
Any pilot who flies the route KLIA-BCIA knows about the radar situation at Igari: it is in the pilot's routine.
mh370 - 126 - f :
The person who planned all this must not have been bothered by the too much coincidental steps he was planning.
mh370 - 126 - g :
All in all, the person who was planning this did so because the coincidental steps were needed to reach the final goal.
mh370 - 126 - h :
Planning how to turn off the transponder and ACARS barely requires any research, as can be read in the many (expert) comments.
mh370 - 126 - i :
Perhaps the more difficult thing is to get yourself alone in the cockpit without raising suspicion.
mh370 - 126 - j :
With the routine of the cabin crew starting before reaching Igari, handling unwelcome issues is the real challenge.
mh370 - 126 - k :
One does not even need to be in the cockpit of MH370 to prepare the vanishing trick: any pilot knows how do it.
mh370 - 126 - l :
The 90 sec after the last radio contact was implemented to get MH370 mentally out of the radio operator's head at KLIA.
mh370 - 126 - m :
Waiting longer than 90 sec with executing the left turn would bring MH370 too close to Vietnam airspace.
mh370 - 126 - n :
Too close to Vietnam airspace would risk the response of the Vietnamese army to a non-communicating MH370.
mh370 - 126 - o :
Seated in MH370's cockpit and just having said "Goodnight Malaysia three seven zero" means that one knows he is no longer being watched.
mh370 - 126 - p :
In order to act so fast after "Goodnight Malaysia three seven zero", one must be in the cockpit prior to the last call to KLIA.
mh370 - 126 - q :
After the "Goodnight Malaysia three seven zero" the actions in the cockpit were executed under the watchful eye of a movie director.
mh370 - 126 - r :
Most likely a movie director would have some trouble extending the scene for 90 seconds after "Goodnight Malaysia three seven zero".
mh370 - 126 - s :
Meaning, the time after "Goodnight Malaysia three seven zero" and switching of the transponder and the ACARS system.
mh370 - 126 - t :
In fact, the 90 seconds to execute all the steps in the cockpit is not so fast. It can be done in less time.
mh370 - 126 - u :
After having said "Goodnight Malaysia three seven zero" that person might have gone through the longest 90 seconds he ever has known.
mh370 - 126 - v :
If one must wait for systems to close down, like when shutting down a computer, that would make sense.
mh370 - 126 - w :
It would also make sense if one had to slow down MH370 to execute the upcoming left turn at waypoint Igari.
mh370 - 126 - x :
Could be that switching off the transponder and ACARS too fast sequentially caused issues that required extra attention.
mh370 - 126 - y :
It can also be that the one in the cockpit was ready in 15 seconds and was calmly waiting to execute the next step.
mh370 - 126 - z :
If it is that the person in the cockpit was calmly waiting in those 90 seconds then that indicates ruthless discipline.

mh370 - 125 - a :
90 seconds after "Goodnight Malaysia three seven zero" was all it took. Timeline 11:20 Missing Malaysian airline MH 370 Untold story.
mh370 - 125 - b :
He who was responsible knew: time waits for no one.
mh370 - 125 - c :
Time is the eternal wind beneath the wings of Death.
mh370 - 125 - d :
Time is the eternal river Death sails on.
mh370 - 125 - e :
Time is something MH370 seemed to have plenty of. Only limited by its fuel capacity.
mh370 - 125 - f :
There goes a lot of 90 second periods in MH370's remaining time after the left turn at waypoint Igari.
mh370 - 125 - g :
How much more inferno can one think of for all those remaining 90 second periods.
mh370 - 125 - h :
An airliner is a fragile thing, like all life: damaging it irreversible is easy.
mh370 - 125 - i :
Perhaps airliners, like people, have a karma. Not so farfetched considering the maintenance record as the equivalent.
mh370 - 125 - j :
90 seconds was what it took to drastically disrupt the lifecycle of MH370.
mh370 - 125 - k :
If MH370 was a patient the accident happened at Igari and the time for rescuing lies between Igari and the Andaman Islands.
mh370 - 125 - l :
After the Andaman Islands it took a forensic scientist to locate the patient's path. A job well done.
mh370 - 125 - m :
For an airliner to lose one of its two engines is the equivalent of a heart attack.
mh370 - 125 - n :
An airliner with all its backup systems is more like a Klingon with its biological backup systems than a human.
mh370 - 125 - o :
ACARS can be considered the heart monitor of every airliner.
mh370 - 125 - p :
The law of karma cannot be altered, it is part of nature like Time and Death.
mh370 - 125 - q :
Gravitational forces of a planet might be altered by technology but the very concept of gravity cannot be erased.
mh370 - 125 - r :
That all the 239 people aboard flight MH370 were supposed to be there due to their karma is a short-sighted view.
mh370 - 125 - s :
With technology comes failure. Even in the stone age one could get seriously wounded by tripping over a branch.
mh370 - 125 - t :
From atheists to believers in God, all know Time and Death as their lifetime companions.
mh370 - 125 - u :
God can be cursed and jelled at. God is ever forgiving. Time and Death on the other hand do not slow down: they contain no margin for error.
mh370 - 125 - v :
Time and Death are in your face every morning you get up and every night when you go to bed. Not necessarily a bad thing.
mh370 - 125 - w :
Time and Death urge you to make the best of it, to fully try to live your life.
mh370 - 125 - x :
In the cockpit Time urges you to work efficiently. Death makes sure you work safely. Your conscious makes you work honestly.
mh370 - 125 - y :
The Truth behind flight MH370 looks at this brainstorming and says "really Bobby...well if you say so".
mh370 - 125 - z :
Truth: "you do not know me Bobby so please do not speak on my behalf. But, feel free to come and look for me".

mh370 - 124 - a :
Cars that leave the factory these days have a high-tech crumple zone. The crumple zone provides protection to passengers.
mh370 - 124 - b :
Crumple zones in cars really have proven their value in saving people's life and reducing the severity of injuries.
mh370 - 124 - c :
Cars can be equipped with heavy-duty crumple zones: simply add a more powerful engine to compensate for the extra weight.
mh370 - 124 - d :
For an airliner, however, the saying is "the lighter the aircraft the better".
mh370 - 124 - e :
From a statistic point of view it is more economical to equip a car with a crumple zone than an airliner.
mh370 - 124 - f :
Meaning, a car-crash usually has survivors, when an airliner crashes the survival rate is practically zero.
mh370 - 124 - g :
With a survival rate of zero there is no need to equip an airliner with a heavy-weight crumple zone.
mh370 - 124 - h :
Even if a strong light-weight crumple zone for an airliner is build, the question still is if it will serve a purpose.
mh370 - 124 - i :
No need to add a safety feature to an airliner if it adds little to the survival rate of the passengers.
mh370 - 124 - j :
Perhaps it can be said that due to the forces and speed that comes with air travel, a crumple zone will have no added value.
mh370 - 124 - k :
Wonder what the crumple zone gurus of Volvo Cars would say about crumple zones for airliners.
mh370 - 124 - l :
Passenger survival rate in an airliner can only be protected by a crumple zone during low speed manoeuvring.
mh370 - 124 - m :
Low speed manoeuvring would be: taxing, take-off, landing, controlled emergency landings (Hudson River).
mh370 - 124 - n :
Low speed manoeuvring would also be preparing the speed of MH370 to make the left turn at waypoint Igari.
mh370 - 124 - o :
Volvo Cars engineers know where the best structural integrity of a Boeing 777 is located.
mh370 - 124 - p :
If Volvo Cars engineers would look to ways to enhance the safety of airliner seats, each seat would be much stronger.
mh370 - 124 - q :
Volvo Cars engineers can create lightweight structural integrity for passenger seats in aviation.
mh370 - 124 - r :
The structural integrity of Volvo seats exceeds those of passenger seats in airliners.
mh370 - 124 - s :
If the structural integrity of passenger seats in airliners is rubbish then at least do not lie about it.
mh370 - 124 - t :
When it comes to airliners low costs is all that matters. Safety and comfort of passenger seats is quietly secondary.
mh370 - 124 - u :
Structural integrity of passenger seats in aviation finds it roots in producing low cost and lightweight seats.
mh370 - 124 - v :
In aviation safety generated by passenger seats only goes for certain accidents.
mh370 - 124 - w :
Meaning, no structural integrity can survive the nearly supersonic aviation speeds. Military experts will concur.
mh370 - 124 - x :
Structural integrity is not meant to survive. Just like the crumple zone it serves a specific purpose.
mh370 - 124 - y :
MH370's Structural integrity made it possible for a Chinese marked plastic bottle to wash ashore at Réunion Island.
mh370 - 124 - z :
Structural integrity does not vaporize on impact: it keeps MH370 parts together, like glue.

mh370 - 123 - a :
In a way it is hopeful if more and more debris of MH370 is found. The Week, MH370: mysterious 89kg load and BBC, MH370 search: New debris found in Mauritius.
mh370 - 123 - b :
One question that pops up is how long that debris has been lying there.
mh370 - 123 - c :
Here a part found in Mossel Bay South Africa, CNN, Possible MH370 debris found in South Africa.
mh370 - 123 - d :
Compared to the flaperon found on Réunion Island, the part found in Mossel Bay South Africa is quite small.
mh370 - 123 - e :
Mossel Bay is located almost on the most southern part of Africa. Somehow that provides un feeling of unease.
mh370 - 123 - f :
Meaning, parts that go beyond Mossel Bay have no land to wash up on: adrift till their buoyancy fails.
mh370 - 123 - g :
It would feel safer had all the debris been found on the east side of Africa.
mh370 - 123 - h :
From a Google Maps point of view the whole of East Africa acts as a fishing net where oceans currents can deposit debris.
mh370 - 123 - i :
The Indian Ocean current pushes head-on to East Africa. Once past Mossel Bay there is no land for debris to wash ashore.
mh370 - 123 - j :
On the other hand, it might very well be that a rotating ocean current will let debris revisit East African shores.
mh370 - 123 - k :
The only thing with revisiting ocean currents is that it might take a while before debris can be wash ashore again.
mh370 - 123 - l :
It would be something if it could be calculated how long it takes for debris to revisit East Africa.
mh370 - 123 - m :
A flaperon adrift in the Indian Ocean has a different timetable than a full moon.
mh370 - 123 - n :
If one flaperon can make a clean break from MH370's wing it is likely that the other flaperon did the same.
mh370 - 123 - o :
The unpredictability of structural integrity during a crash is not easily simulated.
mh370 - 123 - p :
The best guides that know the shores of East Africa are the local fishermen.
mh370 - 123 - q :
Due to commercial fishing on the coasts of Africa many fishermen are desperately trying to make a living.
mh370 - 123 - r :
Instead of lured into piracy, like in Somalia, these fishermen can be paid to search the coast for MH370 debris.
mh370 - 123 - s :
Paying these fishermen would not even be one tenth of the costs that are now being spend by the current search operation.
mh370 - 123 - t :
No criticism here, but in such a difficult search and mystery there is no shame in utilizing an unorthodox search method.
mh370 - 123 - u :
The fishermen in East Africa have lived near those shores for generations: they can spot unusual debris like no other.
mh370 - 123 - v :
The same goes e.g. for a life-long fisherman on the North Sea. They too can quickly make out unusual debris.
mh370 - 123 - w :
Fishermen in Somalia are not stupid, right Irish? Add desperation to it and it will need a ransom.
mh370 - 123 - x :
It is easier to locate a missing oil tanker over the Indian Ocean than a missing airliner.
mh370 - 123 - y :
Aside from the mystery surrounding MH370, there might have just been a well-formed debris field initially.
mh370 - 123 - z :
Had MH370 been an everyday ocean flight that disappeared, we would have had the same difficulty locating it.

Theory #1: flight MH370 has been taken by aliens. TheWacky, 10 Theories About Missing Flight MH370.
mh370 - 122 - b :
Aliens might very well be responsible for the disappearance of flight MH370.
mh370 - 122 - c :
Since a piece of debris was found on Réunion Island it is fair to say that an alien commander screwed up.
mh370 - 122 - d :
Alien technology is far more superior than man's. Aliens could have easily executed the MH370 vanishing trick.
mh370 - 122 - e :
Without the sharp left turn of MH370 and the possible sighting on military radar, the alien theory would be stronger.
mh370 - 122 - f :
No alien commander needs Captain Zaharie to turn off the transponder nor the ACARS system.
mh370 - 122 - g :
If aliens can make themselves unseen from our radars then for sure they could make MH370 unseen on radar.
mh370 - 122 - h :
The sighting of MH370 on military radar does not fit the alien theory: it fits the action of a human on board MH370.
mh370 - 122 - i :
Aliens come from space, or abroad: depends on who you ask these days.
mh370 - 122 - j :
Aliens have space technology. It makes no sense for aliens to play hide and seek in the coverage area of a military radar.
mh370 - 122 - k :
Aliens could easily have taken whatever they wanted from MH370 and shoot for the stars afterwards: no need for a left turn at Igari.
mh370 - 122 - l :
Normally aliens only come down to show off: hovering in a ball of light, getting their picture taken and then speed away.
mh370 - 122 - m :
Aliens speed away so quickly they are like children fleeing their parents when doing something illegal.
mh370 - 122 - n :
For all the superior technology people believe aliens have, aliens are surely portrayed in a bad way.
mh370 - 122 - o :
For all we know alien life isn't easy. We all struggle with life, chances are they do too.
mh370 - 122 - p :
Give or take, we look at the stars and dream of space travel. Aliens fly the stars daily and dream of Earth instead.
mh370 - 122 - q :
Aliens, whose nature we know of as illusive and mystic, surely did not think it through taking MH370. No more quiet life.
mh370 - 122 - r :
Of all the air traffic that goes around aliens pick an airliner right in the middle of the busy Southeast Asian airspace.
mh370 - 122 - s :
If it is people they were after aliens could easily have taken people unseen from "no one cares" areas on Earth.
mh370 - 122 - t :
If aliens took MH370 with those little space ships that we normally see, they have bitten of more than they could chew.
mh370 - 122 - u :
Aliens come in different sizes and shapes the same way humans do. So does alien technology.
mh370 - 122 - v :
Everywhere people go they murder and enslave others, survival of the fittest they say. Well, say hello to aliens.
mh370 - 122 - w :
If aliens saw need to take MH370 it was because we must have taken something from then. They simply responded with Roswell, New Mexico, in mind.
mh370 - 122 - x :
Alien technology is superior to that of humans. They have no need for the batteries in MH370's cargo-hold.
mh370 - 122 - y :
If aliens were involved then surely they could have easily blocked Inmarsat's ping mechanism.
mh370 - 122 - z :
Even if aliens simply want to play with us by taking MH370, they must release more than just one flaperon.

mh370 - 121 - a :
As a passenger seated right behind the wing you have a good view on the wing and flaperon.
mh370 - 121 - b :
When looked at debris from a crashed airliner all debris is most of times badly damaged.
mh370 - 121 - c :
MH370's flaperon, which was found on Réunion Island, belongs to the group of least damaged debris known to history.
mh370 - 121 - d :
Perhaps that is just the way it is, meaning, airline crashes on water simply produce cleaner debris.
mh370 - 121 - e :
Every air crash investigator will tell you that reassembling a crashed airliner from a water crash is well doable.
mh370 - 121 - f :
The fragility of the flaperon's hinges become well visible when all flaps are in their breaking position.
mh370 - 121 - g :
During take-off the wing looks a rigid solid piece of engineering, but in breaking mode the fragility shows. So it seems.
mh370 - 121 - h :
Nothing survives a high speed impact on water. When hitting the water with a high velocity water becomes like concrete.
mh370 - 121 - i :
The hinges of a flaperon are not designed to survive a high velocity impact on water.
mh370 - 121 - j :
The hinges of a flaperon are designed to withstand the forces of an airliner when being at cruising speed.
mh370 - 121 - k :
Even severe thunderstorms cannot generate a force strong enough for the flaperon's hinge to let go.
mh370 - 121 - l :
It is only particular turbulence that can cause stress on the hinges of a flaperon.
mh370 - 121 - m :
The hinges of the flaperon can be cut by hydraulic overpressure.
mh370 - 121 - n :
In the industry metal can be cut with a high pressurized water beam. Hydraulics can do the same.
mh370 - 121 - o :
When hydraulics in the wing fail the flaperon can violently resonate in mid-air.
mh370 - 121 - p :
On board an oil tanker the rudder has the same functions as MH370's flaperon.
mh370 - 121 - q :
Similar to an oil tanker: it takes a strong force to rip off the rudder.
mh370 - 121 - r :
Any oil tanker that has its rudder ripped off is most likely to have collateral damage.
mh370 - 121 - s :
The most severe rainstorms cannot simulate the forces a flaperon undergoes during a water crash.
mh370 - 121 - t :
The flaperon is that part of a wing that is most shaped like the shell of a turtle. Turtle shells are very strong.
mh370 - 121 - u :
Similar to the almost undamaged flaperon of MH370 is the almost undamaged tale piece of flight AF447.
mh370 - 121 - v :
The landing gear and the engines are those parts of an airliner that are strong enough to survive a water crash.
mh370 - 121 - w :
Moreover, the landing gear is sheltered by the fuselage on impact and that adds to the survival of the landing gear.
mh370 - 121 - x :
Like flight AF447, this is what everyone is waiting for: Flight AF447, flight data recorder and Flight AF447, cockpit voice recorder.
mh370 - 121 - y :
Like flight AF447, this is what MH370's salvage operation might look like Air France flight 447, flight data recorder found.
mh370 - 121 - z :
If the flight data recorder can differentiate between an autopilot and someone pushing buttons, we may know the truth.

mh370 - 120 - a :
Captain Simon Hardy's theory that it might have been suicide. BBC, Flight MH370: Could it have been suicide?
mh370 - 120 - b :
Since suicide is most likely on many people's mind, it is a good thing to listen to Captain Hardy's theory.
mh370 - 120 - c :
Aviation writer Sylvia Spruck Wrigley says that suicide usually happens much quicker. BBC, Flight MH370: Could it have been suicide?
mh370 - 120 - d :
Captain Hardy's theory says that someone was taking a long emotional look at Penang, and, that Captain Zaharie is also from Penang.
mh370 - 120 - e :
How does that add up: before killing yourself and everyone on your flight you still want to enjoy a last view of Penang? Psychologically those two are hard to mix.
mh370 - 120 - f :
On death row it is the other way around: he who will be executed gets to enjoy their last meal, not the executioner.
mh370 - 120 - g :
From a death row perspective the "long emotional look at Penang" is a last beautiful meal served to Captain Zaharie. There is no enjoyment in one's last meal; it is the taste of death.
mh370 - 120 - h :
Captain Zaharie loved to cook in his spare time so he knew how to prepare a great dish, and he knows when something is rubbish. All chefs do.
mh370 - 120 - i :
If it was suicide by Captain Zaharie, suicide certainly was not the main thing when it comes down to flight MH370.
mh370 - 120 - j :
Think about it, when reviewing flight MH370 what strikes the world the most is that MH370 cannot be found, not suicide.
mh370 - 120 - k :
In the case of flight MH370 all the careful planning was not about "how to kill myself" but making an airliner disappear.
mh370 - 120 - l :
Suicide is a decision. Making an airliner disappear cannot be done simply by deciding to do so, it requires a lot of planning.
mh370 - 120 - m :
No one likes to kill himself. It usually requires a severe psychological pain for suicide to become an option.
mh370 - 120 - n :
For Capt. Zaharie to decide to commit suicide is one thing but to take 238 people with you is something else.
mh370 - 120 - o :
There is a big psychological gap between solitary suicide and committing suicide by taking 238 people with you.
mh370 - 120 - p :
In the mind of Captain Zaharie a severe psychological decay is needed for him to not being a responsible captain anymore.
mh370 - 120 - q :
A psychiatrist can tell what is needed for a professional Boeing 777 pilot to lose its responsibility.
mh370 - 120 - r :
The responsibility for people you do not know can be put aside more easily than for people we consider being a friend.
mh370 - 120 - s :
Deeper than what we feel about other people lies the life-long passion of a person. Passion is not set aside easily.
mh370 - 120 - t :
One who says goodbye to his life-long passion does so because one wants to serve a higher cause (a good or bad one).
mh370 - 120 - u :
Voldemort (Harry Potter) disassembled his soul and hid those in objects. A Boeing 777 pilot does not have that ability.
mh370 - 120 - v :
One's passion for work is like a guardrail on a highway: both will make sure that you are always coming back on track.
mh370 - 120 - w :
When the main goal is to write world history by making MH370 disappear, suicide is just a contributing factor.
mh370 - 120 - x :
Losing one's will to live due to psychological decay does not mix with still enjoying to cook delicious food.
mh370 - 120 - y :
Perhaps Captain Zaharie made a perfectly sane decision: the 238 passengers and crew just being collateral damage.
mh370 - 120 - z :
Collateral damage a term that is wielded by the best decision makers all over the world.

mh370 - 119 - a :
Where are you flight MH370...
mh370 - 119 - b :
Why the sharp left turn at waypoint Igari and not a more normal left turn...
mh370 - 119 - c :
Why only the right flaperon and a Chinese marked plastic bottle at Réunion Island...
mh370 - 119 - d :
No warning of an upcoming technical failure whatsoever, not even in your historical maintenance data.
mh370 - 119 - e :
You looked OK though. Nothing happens just suddenly: somewhere along the way there must be a build-up, there always is.
mh370 - 119 - f :
Should we interpret the sharp left turn at waypoint Igari as a remarkable disrespect of the aircraft...
mh370 - 119 - g :
Something on board only required the relatively small time window between waypoint Igari and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
mh370 - 119 - h :
Between waypoint Igari and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands you seemed to have life on board.
mh370 - 119 - i :
After the Andaman and Nicobar Islands all on board seemed to be idle. No human activity whatsoever. No navigational activity.

Perhaps you are sick and tired of questions in a same way as every sensei at some point will be.
mh370 - 119 - k :
Like every sensei, you know. It is the student who needs to dig, question and train to achieve progress.
mh370 - 119 - l :
As far as we know you only stopped flying when you ran out of fuel. Meaning, there was no technical failure.
mh370 - 119 - m :
Yet there was something on board which resulted in people not being able to control you, given your idle Indian Ocean flight.
mh370 - 119 - n :
Alan Schuster-Bruce, an Inmarsat scientist, has located your ACARS ping during your flight over the vast Indian Ocean.
mh370 - 119 - o :
As It turns out Alan Schuster-Bruce added a feature in the Inmarsat architecture after the Air France disaster of flight AF447.
mh370 - 119 - p :
This new feature Alan Schuster-Bruce added allowed him to track your ACARS ping. Timeline 25:00 topdocumentaryfilms.com, Where is flight mh370.
mh370 - 119 - q :
Answers do not lie in the trajectory over the Indian Ocean but between waypoint Igari and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
mh370 - 119 - r :
The answers must be lying close to home, as always.
mh370 - 119 - s :
You did what you had to do. Meaning, you kept on flying till you ran out of fuel, the rest is up to others.
mh370 - 119 - t :
Not a bad idea to put the investigators in a Boeing 777 and let them fly the exact same route as you did.
mh370 - 119 - u :
Better yet, let them fly it for three times so they have enough opportunity to figure out how to reproduce your trajectory.
mh370 - 119 - v :
I guess we must dig through all the obvious to find that state of mind that allows investigators to look further.
mh370 - 119 - w :
Unless someone was waving a gun on board, the passengers could only have been alarmed by your sharp left turn at waypoint Igari.
mh370 - 119 - x :
Besides your sharp left turn at waypoint Igari your trajectory was a smooth one. Smooth enough for passengers to stay asleep.
mh370 - 119 - y :
You do not require oxygen to survive but you do need a signal from the throttle for having fuel pumped to your engines.
mh370 - 119 - z :
Yes, the fact that you did fly towards Australia and not straight towards the South Pole, tells about a significant difference.

Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton drove radio controlled cars when he was younger: RC models are an educative source.
mh370 - 118 - d :
The tips and tricks a pilot could have gotten from flying model airplanes was much needed in the case of flight MH370.
mh370 - 118 - e :
One aspect of flying models airplanes is their agility compared to a real Boeing 777.
mh370 - 118 - f :
Professional truck drivers are often also motorcyclist in their free time: freedom provided by agility.
mh370 - 118 - g :
Playing with the agility of model airplanes: a huge enjoyment for a Boeing 777 pilot. The possibilities that are at hand.
mh370 - 118 - h :
Flying a Boeing 777 in real-life has a lot going for it compared to what RC model airplanes can offer.
mh370 - 118 - i :
The raw power at take-off the engines of a Boeing 777 produce is a thrilling experience for any pilot. Again and again.
mh370 - 118 - j :
The lift-off from the Earth's surface up into the sky is one of the delights of a Boeing 777 pilot. Every time.
mh370 - 118 - k :
Lewis Hamilton would acknowledge that driving a real Formula 1 car is a breath-taking experience. RC models are sheer fun.
mh370 - 118 - l :
A pilot passionate about flying will control his model airplane in a clearly different manner than a non-pilot.
mh370 - 118 - m :
A full-blooded pilot is bound to his DNA, meaning, a model airplane and a real Boeing 777 will be respected equally.
mh370 - 118 - n :
At some point any pilot passionate about flying will become one with the airplane he is commanding.
mh370 - 118 - o :
When a race-car driver becomes one with the car he can perform on a higher level. That is a well-known fact.
mh370 - 118 - p :
When a race-car driver or a pilot become one with their machine, an amazing feeling is the result.
mh370 - 118 - q :
An important rule for becoming one with that what you are controlling is that the controlled object is treated with respect.
mh370 - 118 - r :
You will practically not see a navy seal mistreating his weapon on the gun-range during leisure time nor during practicing.
mh370 - 118 - s :
For all professional sports people the amazing feeling of getting one with their equipment is what they strive for.

The Japanese sword became an extension of a samurai's arm: the flaperon of a Boeing 777 is the extension of the pilot's hand.
mh370 - 118 - u :
Millions of people enjoy RC models. They build, maintain and repair them. People pour the deepest of their souls in RC models.
mh370 - 118 - v :
A hand-build RC model reflects the soul of its owner. That is simply the straightforward nature of the RC model hobby.
mh370 - 118 - w :
Any RC model enthusiast on this planet can read the dedication and seriousness that has been put into any RC model.
mh370 - 118 - x :
Captain Zaharie owned a PBY Catalina RC model. The PBY Catalina is considered as one of the most beautiful aircrafts ever build.
mh370 - 118 - y :
Once flight MH370 is found we might catch a glimpse of the many water-landings Captain Zaharie made with is PBY Catalina.
mh370 - 118 - z :
Wonder what Isaac M. Laddon would say about Captain Zaharie's PBY Catalina RC model. Captain-Zaharie, talented hobbieist.

mh370 - 117 - a :
Had there been something like a Bermuda Triangle near waypoint Igari, the missing of MH370 would have been different.
mh370 - 117 - b :
In case of an Igari Bermuda Triangle the simulator of Captain Zaharie would not have been a point of negative interpretation.
mh370 - 117 - c :
Knowing the mystery surrounding an Igari Bermuda Triangle resignation in the faith of MH370 would be achieved faster.
mh370 - 117 - d :
If an active Igari Bermuda Triangle is in place the whole Southeast Asian flightpath planning needs an upgrade.
mh370 - 117 - e :
Flight MH17 and all its crew and passengers were blown out of the sky. No Bermuda Triangle but a war-zone.
mh370 - 117 - f :
Generally it can be said that he who plays with fire gets burned sooner or later: that is not good enough for those left behind.
mh370 - 117 - g :
Weather phenomena that were out of the ordinary would in some way be more easy to cope with.
mh370 - 117 - h :
Perhaps there is no actual Igari Bermuda Triangle as we now the original one but perhaps it was created temporarily.
mh370 - 117 - i :
Waypoint Igari seems to be lying in the heart of the Southeast Asian fly-zone. A perfect centralized cosmic point.
mh370 - 117 - j :
If one was planning something that has to do with waypoints then Igari is on top of any waypoint list.
mh370 - 117 - k :
In the real Bermuda Triangle any compass will go crazy. For the sake of originality any compass at Igari will work OK.
mh370 - 117 - l :
For many decades the Bermuda Triangle was not faced with climate change. Nowadays that is a different story.
mh370 - 117 - m :
Earth's magnetic field is rock solid, though, slight changes have influences on life in the Bermuda Triangle.
mh370 - 117 - n :
The Bermuda Triangle covers less square miles than the search area of flight MH370, yet finding a missing plane is as tough.
mh370 - 117 - o :
In a way the limitations of primary and secondary radar create their own blind spots. Turn off ACARS and you are good to go.
mh370 - 117 - p :
Daily airliners pass waypoint Igari without any problem.
mh370 - 117 - q :
It would not have mattered whether waypoint Igari was located out at sea or on land. It's about primary and secondary radar.
mh370 - 117 - r :
Sitting just outside of the border of radar coverage waypoint Igari is special, it has many things going for it.
mh370 - 117 - s :
If there had to be a Southeast Asian Bermuda Triangle then waypoint Igari would be one of the four best waypoints.
mh370 - 117 - t :
If MH370 was trying to escape radar coverage then it is a daring thing to fly back over Malaysia and Thailand.
mh370 - 117 - u :
It is not possible for someone to think that flying on the border of two countries military will not be watching.
mh370 - 117 - v :
If one would do such in-depth planning that it gets to avoiding military radar coverage, that would really be something.
mh370 - 117 - w :
Even if one was putting military radar coverage in the equation one could never now about military activity that day.
mh370 - 117 - x :
Not even with all the in-depth knowledge of the area surrounding waypoint Igari and the Thai border can one be a 100% sure one goes unseen.
mh370 - 117 - y :
From a cosmic perspective a Bermuda Triangle at waypoint Igari is farfetched. Hopefully.
mh370 - 117 - z :
However, from a flight-planning perspective waypoint Igari has a lot of potential to be used for good but also for bad purposes.

mh370 - 116 - a :
Let's say someone wants to cover up the truth about what happened to flight MFH370. In general, that is not a good sign.
mh370 - 116 - b :
The thing is that Malaysia and its neighbouring countries are not the best of friends. There is some distrust in place.
mh370 - 116 - c :
For Malaysian and Thai military willing to jointly keep their mouths shut, something extraordinary must have happened to MH370.
mh370 - 116 - d :
Covering up the truth by at least two countries requires quite some deep coordination and engineering, let alone by two distrusting countries.
mh370 - 116 - e :
Covering up the truth by two friendly countries is a big achievement.
mh370 - 116 - f :
When the cover-up is about an event on global scale an extra dimension of difficulty is added.
mh370 - 116 - g :
The best scenario for a cover-up is when one country holds all the cards. One country, one race, one management.
mh370 - 116 - h :
A cover-up is also well manageable when a one country and one company is involved.
mh370 - 116 - i :
The less that is known about an accident that needs to be covered up the easier it is to manipulate a story.
mh370 - 116 - j :
A cover-up requires a tight government controlled environment. Malaysia does fit that bill, but so do other countries.
mh370 - 116 - k :
North Korea is one of the few countries that does not have to play twister to cover-up. It creates its own truth. If you do not participate a prision camp awaits you.
mh370 - 116 - l :
A cover-up in a complex and globalized aviation industry is much more difficult than a cover-up in a local power plant.
mh370 - 116 - m :
Boeing, Airbus and their suppliers make great products that benefit many on this planet. Yet, there is fragility.
mh370 - 116 - n :
A globalized aviation industry is more fragile when it comes to technical failure than Apple's iPhone.
mh370 - 116 - o :
Apple can afford some mistakes and clean breaks. People simply love Apple products but many are reluctant to fly.
mh370 - 116 - p :
There are cases where individual businessmen are responsible for a regional catastrophe: such profit comes at the cost of others.
mh370 - 116 - q :
No politician will deny that other politicians will cause catastrophes. Sadly, catastrophes do tend to happen.
mh370 - 116 - r :
It is said that in many airline disasters the human factor (pilots) were sadly and not-knowingly responsible. Easy to say.
mh370 - 116 - s :
Letting pilots fly in a healthy mental and physical state is as much the responsibility of both pilot and management.
mh370 - 116 - t :
Whatever happens in Area 51 can happen there simply because it is a well managed area.
mh370 - 116 - u :
Statistically flying is safe...Where are you flight MH370? Your right flaperon was found on Réunion by Johnny Begue.
mh370 - 116 - v :
When seated in an airliner one receives safety instructions. When casting your vote, you are on your own.
mh370 - 116 - w :
Malaysia airlines has a lot going for it. It is a reliable airline and it needs flight MH370 and its passengers found.
mh370 - 116 - x :
When those responsible have been buried time is ready to expose their cover-ups. Die more quickly.

The art of camouflage: you cannot know what you cannot see.

The Pink Panther has a proper karma to get to the truth. That and a bit of zen.

mh370 - 115 - a :
Co-pilot Fariq did let people have a look into the cockpit. Meaning, on those flights the pilot also agreed on that.
mh370 - 115 - b :
Almost everybody wants to have a look in the cockpit: it is a spectacular, magical and wannabe place.
mh370 - 115 - c :
In fact, before 9/11 allowing people to have a look in the cockpit was done all over the World.
mh370 - 115 - d :
Co-pilot Fariq did not simply allow everyone to have a look in the cockpit judging from the known photos.
mh370 - 115 - e :
Letting people having a look in the cockpit indicates an open friendly mind and not some arrogant mentality.
mh370 - 115 - f :
To be more precise, it is the visitor's allowed duration in the cockpit that tells the true mentality of the pilots.
mh370 - 115 - g :
Co-pilot Fariq allowed women in the cockpit. All over the world women are invited for all sorts of things. So What.
mh370 - 115 - h :
Given all the talk about co-pilot Fariq allowing people in the cockpit I expected 101 photos on Google, not 5.
mh370 - 115 - i :
Co-pilot Fariq for sure checked who was outside the cockpit door before opening it. He was not aiming to get fired.
mh370 - 115 - j :
It is important to understand that any co-pilot needs the pilot's approval for allowing people in the cockpit.
mh370 - 115 - k :
All the people that co-pilot Fariq had in the cockpit have been recorded on the cockpit voice recorder.
mh370 - 115 - l :
Apparently co-pilot Fariq was not worried about recordings, and why should one be worried if one has no bad intentions at all.
mh370 - 115 - m :
No co-pilot aims to go through all the trouble of years of studying to eventually get fired because of showing off.
mh370 - 115 - n :
All the Victoria's Secret models are invited to have a look in the cockpit. That is a cliché, but so very true.
mh370 - 115 - o :
Captain Nadira Ramli was co-pilot Fariq's fiancée. That means co-pilot Fariq's fiancée was higher in rang.
mh370 - 115 - p :
At night flying over the sparkling Southeast Asian region provides a kick to any pilot and cockpit visitor.
mh370 - 115 - q :
Nighttime flights in the Southeast Asian region would suit to invite the whole Ocean's Twelve crew in the cockpit.
mh370 - 115 - r :
Having the whole Ocean's Twelve crew on board L'appuntamento of Ornella Vanoni would have been played.
mh370 - 115 - s :
With Ocean's Twelve on board the cockpit voice recorder would have recorded Thé à la Menthe of La Caution.
mh370 - 115 - t :
Co-pilot Fariq, good job perspectives, good looking, strong beautiful girlfriend. Everything indicates: proper mental health.
mh370 - 115 - u :
It is not that weird if a young pilot wants to show off for cockpit visitors. All full-blooded pilots do a little of that.
mh370 - 115 - v :
Both Captain Zaharie and co-pilot Fariq have been heavily investigated. Had there been anything they would have found it by now.
mh370 - 115 - w :
A positive show-off attitude would also have involved playing music in the cockpit like in Top Gun.
mh370 - 115 - x :
With all that we know of Captain Zaharie and co-pilot Fariq: MH370 should have been a successful flight.
mh370 - 115 - y :
Captain Zaharie, a professional, would never have accepted any amateurism of co-pilot Fariq during the flight.
mh370 - 115 - z :
Even if co-pilot Fariq had a show-off attitude, surely he handled that with care and professionalism. Most pilots do.

mh370 - 114 - a :
Not everyone is suited to be a pilot. That is simply the way it is: some people have these skills and others do not.
mh370 - 114 - b :
Being a pilot requires technical understanding of flight patterns, mathematics, being able to think clear and fast.
mh370 - 114 - c :
Whether a troubled flight will turn out to be a disaster depends on many aspects. A pilot's experience helps a lot.
mh370 - 114 - d :
Not in all cases having enough fuel is necessarily a good thing, but for a commercial airliner more is better.
mh370 - 114 - e :
Since there is video footage of the pilot and co-pilot of flight MH370 going through security detectors, no gun was on board.
mh370 - 114 - f :
If there was a gun in the cockpit, prior to take-off, there were not many places where it could have been hidden.
mh370 - 114 - g :
There is a huge amount of wiring aboard a Boeing 777. Remove a panel in the cockpit and the ACARS wiring is well visible.
mh370 - 114 - h :
The panels near the pilot's feet hold enough space to place a gun. The panels on the ceiling, however, are of no use.
mh370 - 114 - i :
If necessary, removing the backup battery of the transponder will provide one of the best hideouts for a small gun.
mh370 - 114 - j :
Picking a gun for use on board a Boeing 777: small, light-weight and of course a .22 calibre.
mh370 - 114 - k :
A .22 calibre can incapacitate everyone in the cockpit without any risk the bullet penetrating the fuselage.
mh370 - 114 - l :
The ballistic characteristics of a .22 calibre, and the low risk fuselage penetration, gives the freedom to fire freely.
mh370 - 114 - m :
It takes a bit of flight engineering knowledge to understand where on a Boeing 777 firing a gun is less risky.
mh370 - 114 - n :
A well placed shot can wound the ACARS system such that it becomes dysfunctional except for the ping mechanism.
mh370 - 114 - o :
In the comments of pilots and experts there is almost all who say the ACARS system on MH370 was shutdown manually.
mh370 - 114 - p :
In a 007 script "manually shutdown" would almost definitely become "shot down".
mh370 - 114 - q :
007 would have noticed the sharp left turn at waypoint Igari had he been on board.
mh370 - 114 - r :
007 Sean Connery would have responded in a more gentleman way. 007 Daniel Craig would have run towards the cockpit.
mh370 - 114 - s :
Initially none of the 007s would have panicked since MH370 carried enough fuel to get around any small problem.
mh370 - 114 - t :
Any of the 007s can locate the ACARS and transponder system on MH370, but the cockpit door is the real challenge.
mh370 - 114 - u :
The scriptwriters of Skyfall should join MH370's research team. With their talent, they can fill in all the blanks.
mh370 - 114 - v :
The MH370 research team would benefit from the capabilities of the 007 scriptwriters.
mh370 - 114 - w :
Not only are scriptwriters able to fill in the blanks, they can also turn it into a matching story.
mh370 - 114 - x :
Scriptwriters are for sure able to write different scenarios about flight MH370.
mh370 - 114 - y :
A 007 script is focused on becoming a blockbuster, the MH370 script should be focused on reality.
mh370 - 114 - z :
Daniel Craig arriving at the cockpit door he will be faced with a real problem. If he can't get in who are we to do so?

mh370 - 113 - a :
At timeline 1:10 it is said that Captain Zaharie was in contact with opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim TomoNews US, Youtube.
mh370 - 113 - b :
It is a pro if Captain Zaharie was close to Anwar Ibrahim, considering life in the opposition is not an easy thing in Malaysia.
mh370 - 113 - c :
It takes guts and sacrifice to be part of the opposition party in Malaysia. No right or wrong, it is just the way it is.
mh370 - 113 - d :
The Malaysian opposition benefit from making MH370 disappear? That's like starting a fire and getting an inferno in return.
mh370 - 113 - e :
Captain Zaharie being in close contact with one of Malaysia's highest political figures is in fact quite an achievement.
mh370 - 113 - f :
Having a close contact with any high political figure is generally what lobbyists all over the World are trying to do.
mh370 - 113 - g :
Curious to know who approached who. One must have sought contact with the other.
mh370 - 113 - h :
A Captain Zaharie that wants more democracy in Malaysia: deliberately diverting a Boeing 777 does not fit such a personality.
mh370 - 113 - i :
Having democracy on one's mind in a not so easy country as Malaysia: one's mind and character is deeply set for progress.
mh370 - 113 - j :
There are less than ten people in Malaysia that would seriously benefit from a deliberate crash of an airliner.
mh370 - 113 - k :
One should do a voice analyses of Captain Zaharie's MH370 voice response and compare that with his pre-MH370 flights.
mh370 - 113 - l :
A high-tech voice analysis will show stress levels in a pilot's voice in case of an endangered airborne Boeing 777.
mh370 - 113 - m :
Having one's mind set for more democracy one is fully set to improve the lives of people, not endangering them.
mh370 - 113 - n :
Anwar Ibrahim sodomy Anwar Ibrahim: Malaysia's leader-in-waiting. In a heterosexual relationship, anal intercourse is considered a triple jackpot.
mh370 - 113 - o :
Being in close contact with Anwar Ibrahim Captain Zaharie's mind was set for the greater good: not mystifying the World.
mh370 - 113 - p :
Getting into close contact with a high political figure indicates something completely different than planning suicide.
mh370 - 113 - q :
Wanting a political career Captain Zaharie will avoid negativity on his future political resume, i.e., not crashing a Boeing 777.
mh370 - 113 - r :
In the political arena having strong political potential make your opponents do things beyond the sane mind.
mh370 - 113 - s :
In political life switching off your "ACARS" tracking is only a means to an end when one needs to stay off the political radar.
mh370 - 113 - t :
Having a high political figure as a friend goes well with one's hobby being flying model airplanes and preparing great dishes.
mh370 - 113 - u :
One can only handle a high political friend when one can do one's day job with one's eyes closed, i.e., with great ease.
mh370 - 113 - v :
The close contact between Captain Zaharie and Anwar Ibrahim either goes back a long time or is relatively new.
mh370 - 113 - w :
Take 7% of each theory about MH370, put those together and you get a pretty good view that lies close to the truth.
mh370 - 113 - x :
Every book ever written consists out of chapters, the story builds itself up. An article, however, can go without.
mh370 - 113 - y :
A good lie about MH370 requires quite a bit of engineering. The truth, however, simply unfolds itself.
mh370 - 113 - z :
The missing of flight MH370 is like a vague origami figure: we do not know its full shape and the way it is constructed.

mh370 - 112 - a :
Captain Zaharie, a.k.a. Uncle Ari, was quite an active man in life. Chumguan Phoon, Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah.
mh370 - 112 - b :
Captain Zaharie volunteered at the Orang Asli village, timeline 2:15. Chumguan Phoon, Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah.
mh370 - 112 - c :
The Orang Asli villages lay north of Kuala Lumpur on the Cameron Highlands Cameron Highlands, Orang Asli.
mh370 - 112 - d :
The Cameron Highlands truly are a beautiful place to spend your time, to volunteer. Lonely Planet, Cameron Highlands.
mh370 - 112 - e :
The Cameron Highlands for sure must have been a good place to for planning how to divert MH370 after take-off.
mh370 - 112 - f :
Carrying a quality GPS, Captain Zaharie could see waypoint Igari and so the route back over the Malaysian peninsula came to mind.
mh370 - 112 - g :
The crisp air of the Cameron Highlands for sure allow to pinpoint waypoint Igari's direction.
mh370 - 112 - h :
Volunteering for Captain Zaharie meant setting aside his passion for flying. The Cameron Highlands must have pleased him much.
mh370 - 112 - i :
The Cameron Highlands are known for being a food haven is one of the reasons for Captain Zaharie, passionate cook, to be there.
mh370 - 112 - j :
Captain Zaharie volunteered at the Orang Asli village. A traditional tribe, no Boeing 777 insight.
mh370 - 112 - k :
Volunteering at the Orang Asli village brings one back in sync with nature rather than planning the missing of flight MH370.
mh370 - 112 - l :
The Orang Asli village is where top level managers are sent to improve their skills, at a rate of 4500 euro per week.
mh370 - 112 - m :
Spending time at the Cameron Highlands to leisure is one thing, deciding to volunteer there is something else.
mh370 - 112 - n :
Beautiful dawns of the Cameron Highlands allow for a clear head to plan the route after the left turn at waypoint Igari.
mh370 - 112 - o :
The fact that MH370 made a left turn, instead of a right turn, can easily be architected while zipping on some fresh tea.
mh370 - 112 - p :
Walking over the tea plantations, passing the strawberry farm, MH370's trajectory heading for the Andaman Islands is visible.
mh370 - 112 - q :
Setting up a flight simulator at a corner part of the Orang Asli village would have really been something special.
mh370 - 112 - r :
There are a few hotel rooms that, when standing on the balcony, allow a complete overview of MH370's known trajectory.
mh370 - 112 - s :
A trajectory of MH370 over the Indian Ocean until its fuel rans out is outside any pilot's sane capabilities.
mh370 - 112 - t :
The best outdoor activity at the Cameron Highlands that stimulate flight-creativity is a hike over its tea plantations.
mh370 - 112 - u :
One could easily take a four hour walk on the Cameron Highlands and walk a part of MH370's trajectory.
mh370 - 112 - v :
The delicious cuisine of the Cameron Highlands attracts all sorts of food enthusiasts from ordinary people to Nigella Lawson.
mh370 - 112 - w :
It seems that almost every major Asian cuisine is settled on the Cameron Highlands because of its wide selection of herbs.
mh370 - 112 - x :
No better place for a food enthusiast to be than the Orang Asli people when it comes to getting to know the local dishes.
mh370 - 112 - y :
The strawberries grown on the Cameron Highlands can easily be kept fresh for MH370's entire known flight duration.
mh370 - 112 - z :
Captain Zaharie is too much in love with life itself to deliberately divert a Boeing 777 Chumguan Phoon, Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah.

mh370 - 111 - a :
The phone call of Captain Zaharie, talked about in this video TomoNews US, Youtube, is perhaps already considered meaningless.
mh370 - 111 - b :
Let's consider for a moment that Captain Zaharie did make a phone call prior to take-off: so what if he did. Pareidolia.
mh370 - 111 - c :
The thing is that any pilot can do all sorts of horrible things with an airliner without having a phone call prior to take-off
mh370 - 111 - d :
Ask yourself: what possible information would Captain Zaharie require from that phone call to make MH370 disappear? Absolutely none.
mh370 - 111 - e :
Would that information be something like: do not drink the soda on the left because that one has the toxic for the co-pilot.
mh370 - 111 - f :
Captain Zaharie did not require any flight information. All pilots know about the limitations of primary and secondary radar.
mh370 - 111 - g :
No matter from which perspective you look at Captain Zaharie there is no denying that he was an experienced and skilled captain.
mh370 - 111 - h :
The possible information such a captain would need to receive by phone prior to take-off.
mh370 - 111 - i :
When one is skilled enough to plan the missing of flight MH370, one would never let it all depend on a single phone call.
mh370 - 111 - j :
Planning the missing of MH370 does not require a phone call. One simply needs MH370 airborne with enough fuel on board.
mh370 - 111 - k :
Being in a car, however, the police can easily stop you. Try to stop an airliner in that manner and it will fall from the sky.
mh370 - 111 - l :
MH370 being airborne is all there is to it. That and no one bothering you in the cockpit. Not a phone call in sight.
mh370 - 111 - m :
At timeline 1:25 it is said that Captain Zaharie was only assigned to MH370 shortly before departure. TomoNews US, Youtube.
mh370 - 111 - n :
Being assigned to a flight on short notice it is not unimaginable one needs to make a quick phone call. We all do that.
mh370 - 111 - o :
MH370 was a Boeing 777. One of the most automated and reliable airliners there is. A phone call does not add anything to that picture.
mh370 - 111 - p :
From a darker point of view: an involved pilot only needs a phone call before take-off when he is only a pawn in a bigger plot.
mh370 - 111 - q :
An involved pilot would only need a phone call prior to take-off when more people are involved, or when he is blackmailed.
mh370 - 111 - r :
A phone call prior to take-off means one is faced with a decision to take his own life and let another continue.
mh370 - 111 - s :
Did Captain Zaharie made a phone call prior to take-off or did he got a phone call? There is a difference between those two.
mh370 - 111 - t :
In case of blackmail, imagine what the true subject is when it needs a Boeing 777 and all aboard to disappear.
mh370 - 111 - u :
In a play where Captain Zaharie would be a pawn and MH370 just a means to an end: such play must run deep and wide.
mh370 - 111 - v :
Flying was in Captain Zaharie's blood. It really takes something strong to make such a person deviate from that state of mind.
mh370 - 111 - w :
There is too much passion in Captain Zaharie for him to let a phone call come between him and his commanding flight.
mh370 - 111 - x :
In case of severe marital problems the only thing that you can fall back on is yourself: in this case being a passionate and professional pilot.
mh370 - 111 - y :
Crashing MH370 is like crashing yourself: not possible with so much passion for flying in your DNA. Chumguan Phoon, Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah.
mh370 - 111 - z :
In case of marital problems one will divorce one's wife or husband but one will never divorce from one's lifelong passion.

mh370 - 110 - a :
At timeline 37:45 of BBC Horizon's documentary is mentioned #hypoxia. topdocumentaryfilms.com, Where is flight mh370.
mh370 - 110 - b :
It is flight 522 of Helios Airways that is referred to. Helios Airways, Flight 522.
mh370 - 110 - c :
Signs of hypoxia on board MH370 is thought of as the turn south and/or the steady flight pattern from that moment on.
mh370 - 110 - d :
Before the final turn south, at timeline 36:50, MH370 seemed to be piloted because its manoeuvres.
mh370 - 110 - e :
On flight 522 it is believed hypoxia came about because the pressurisation system was not set back to "Auto" prior to take-off.
mh370 - 110 - f :
In the weeks before the fatal crash of flight 522 the crew complained about apparent faults on board.
mh370 - 110 - g :
On MH370 there is no such record of that the pressurisation system, or any other system, showing signs of errors.
mh370 - 110 - h :
The only physical system failure that we can see on MH370 is the failing of ACARS and the transponder.
mh370 - 110 - i :
If ACARS and the transponder were switched off the pressurization system might accidentally have been switched off too.
mh370 - 110 - j :
Whoever switched of ACARS might in their hurry accidentally also have switched of the pressurization system.
mh370 - 110 - k :
Perhaps the words "Auto" and "Manual" of the pressurization switch lead to believe it was better to put it to "Manual".
mh370 - 110 - l :
Meaning, "Manual" implies you can control it, "Auto" does not.
mh370 - 110 - m :
In one way the "Manual/Auto" switch of the pressurization system is a tool to incapacitate everyone on board.
mh370 - 110 - n :
Meaning, putting the switch to "Manual" you can take over a flight without a fight: just sit and wait.
mh370 - 110 - o :
Of course you do need to gain access to the oxygen bottles of the crew for you to survive on aboard.
mh370 - 110 - p :
Finally, when all are incapacitated you put the pressurization switch back to "Auto" and you can breathe freely again.
mh370 - 110 - q :
Yes, deliberately manipulating the pressurisation switch is farfetched.
mh370 - 110 - r :
Nevertheless, it is fact that by simply flipping the pressurization switch you can incapacitate everyone on board a Boeing 777.
mh370 - 110 - s :
Beyond the pressurization switch there will not be many other switches on board that have a similar incapacitating effect.
mh370 - 110 - t :
In one way it can be said that every Boeing 777, by default, carries a switch that can incapacitate all on board.
mh370 - 110 - u :
If ever the flight data recorder is found, perhaps it will be concluded that the information of the pressurization switch has been overwritten.
mh370 - 110 - v :
Hypoxia does strange things to the mind. Perhaps the pilots have mistaken the transponder switch for something else.
mh370 - 110 - w :
If you suspect hypoxia to kick in then a quick spin of the autopilot rotary button creates a U-turn pattern.
mh370 - 110 - x :
Not such a bad idea to strengthen the door that holds the pressurization switch in the same way as is done with a cockpit door.
mh370 - 110 - y :
Had MH370 experienced the same alarms on board as flight 522, then that could result in MH370's U-turn at Igari.
mh370 - 110 - z :
One would expect that in case of depressurization a Boeing 777's autopilot would decent to a breathable altitude.

mh370 - 109 - a :
If the starship Enterprise would circle Earth at this moment, they also would have a hard time finding MH370.
mh370 - 109 - b :
At this moment there simply is no technology that can rapidly search an ocean floor for a Boeing 777's debris.
mh370 - 109 - c :
The technology to scan a large part of ocean floor for metal from a Boeing 777 will, at best, be ready in 500 to 700 years.
mh370 - 109 - d :
Even if the USS Enterprise can scan the ocean floor for a piece of metal it would still take them quite some time.
mh370 - 109 - e :
In the centuries to come sonar technology will struggle with the laws physics when performing underwater surveys.
mh370 - 109 - f :
Ocean exploration and space exploration: performing a search and rescue in both can be a daunting task.
mh370 - 109 - g :
Ocean floors and their underwater mountain chains can contain lots of metals a that will dwarf MH370's debris.
mh370 - 109 - h :
Sonar equipment of the USS Enterprise would have a hard time distinguishing natural ocean metals from MH370's metal debris.
mh370 - 109 - i :
Real difficulties start when a piece of wing lies on a steep underwater mountain slope. Sonar cannot see such debris.
mh370 - 109 - j :
A Boeing 777's wing is perfectly balanced. Even a damaged wing can elegantly hover in an underwater layer.
mh370 - 109 - k :
The piece of a Boeing 777's debris that has the highest change of being found are its engines: big solid structures.
mh370 - 109 - l :
A Boeing 777's engine is so massive, in weight and structure, that it will sink straight to the ocean floor.
mh370 - 109 - m :
Even when lying on a steep underwater mountain slope a Boeing 777's engine is detectable by sonar.
mh370 - 109 - n :
Given the fact that debris on the ocean floor will quickly be inhabited by marine life, time is limited to find MH370.
mh370 - 109 - o :
See how quickly deliberately sunken ships (recreational diving) are inhabited by marine life in Florida.
mh370 - 109 - p :
One positive thing about the deep Indian Ocean is that marine life in the deep do not colonise that quick.
mh370 - 109 - q :
In Florida marine life thrives in warm water and sunlight. The deep ocean contains a deep darkness and coldness.
mh370 - 109 - r :
When, in the future, Australia will start deep ocean mining it is at such activities that MH370 debris can pop up.
mh370 - 109 - s :
When sand deposits are made on top of MH370 debris within the years to come, this debris will be well preserved.
mh370 - 109 - t :
Within the next couple of hundred of years it is solely underwater mining that may run into debris from MH370.
mh370 - 109 - u :
The USS Enterprise has a higher change of locating the battery cargo MH370 was carrying than MH370's metal debris.
mh370 - 109 - v :
Batteries are an anomaly in a deep-sea environment, i.e. batteries are not part of a deep-sea environment.
mh370 - 109 - w :
Deep ocean pressure can reshaped parts from a Boeing 777 in such a way that these parts will become undetectable by sonar.
mh370 - 109 - x :
A deep-sea exploration sub of the USS Enterprise would at least require 3 to 5 years to search the current search area.
mh370 - 109 - y :
If data from the current search area needs to be analysed then sign it up at BOINC Wikipedia, BOINC.
mh370 - 109 - z :
Our first guesses are often wrong that is a profound saying. Timeline 3:07 CBS This Morning, Capt. Sullenberger gives pilot's perspective on flight MH370 mystery.

mh370 - 108 - a :
Maybe you have seen it but just in case here it is again: Horizon's documentary about MH370 topdocumentaryfilms.com, Where is flight mh370.
mh370 - 108 - b :
The sound of experts at work: people who know how to look at the missing of MH370 from a technical point of view.
mh370 - 108 - c :
At timeline 48:00 the eight-minute arc is mentioned. It is the last recorded Inmarsat ping of flight MH370.
mh370 - 108 - d :
This eight-minute arc ping is different than all previous Inmarsat pings MH370 has broadcasted.
mh370 - 108 - e :
The eight-minute arc ping is significant since it was generated just 8 minutes after the second last Inmarsat ping, and not 1 hour.
mh370 - 108 - f :
System analysts at Inmarsat saw this eight-minute arc ping as the result of a restart of the Inmarsat system on board MH370.
mh370 - 108 - g :
The theory is that the Inmarsat system restart was a result of MH370 running out of fuel and started to roll in its descent.
mh370 - 108 - h :
During MH370's roll one engine caught some remaining fuel, restarted, and generated power for the Inmarsat system to restart.
mh370 - 108 - i :
Because it is believed that MH370 ran out of fuel at this eight-minute arc, it is in that area that the search is focused on.
mh370 - 108 - j :
To be precise: the eight-minute arc being around 28 degrees south. See timeline 58:45 in the documentary.
mh370 - 108 - k :
If MH370 came down in a roll then consider what a simulation of that crash would look like.
mh370 - 108 - l :
The flaperon found on Réunion was in quite a good shape considering the high-speed crash it made in the Indian Ocean.
mh370 - 108 - m :
Considering the dents of the flaperon, it should be possible to trace back the impact the flaperon underwent.
mh370 - 108 - n :
If the impact of the flaperon can be calculated then also the angle by which MH370 crashed into the Indian Ocean.
mh370 - 108 - o :
Once MH370's crash can be simulated, perhaps then it can be deduced what other parts of MH370 could be adrift.
mh370 - 108 - p :
Deduce from the crash simulation how MH370 broke up in parts: adjust the sonar equipment to look for those shapes.
mh370 - 108 - q :
Causing a Boeing 777 to go to an uncontrolled roll requires quite some energy from a physics point of view.
mh370 - 108 - r :
Getting a Boeing 777 in to an uncontrolled roll is a hard to do in a flight simulator, even with low fuel levels.
mh370 - 108 - s :
When a fighter jet comes in to a roll the fighter jet and pilot undergo severe G-forces.
mh370 - 108 - t :
A fighter jet is built to function while undergoing high G-forces, a Boeing 777 is not.
mh370 - 108 - u :
The flaperon found on Réunion could have broken off when MH370 was in its roll: the reason the flaperon is relatively intact.
mh370 - 108 - v :
MH370's roll is the result of an unbalanced cargo load causing MH370 to fall to one side, once the engines ran out of fuel.
mh370 - 108 - w :
One engine out of fuel and the other engine slightly working could generate a misbalance strong enough to make MH370 roll.
mh370 - 108 - x :
Perhaps it was not within 8 minutes that MH370 lost its flight capabilities. Could be things started 10 or 15 minutes earlier.
mh370 - 108 - y :
Being at cruising altitude and at crushing speed a Boeing 777 does not fall from the sky that quick.
mh370 - 108 - z :
For the Inmarsat system on board MH370 to send out a final ping the Inmarsat system requires the Boeing 777 to be in one piece.

mh370 - 107 - a :
Yes, that is true. Turning towards the Indian Ocean at waypoint Igari is the quickest way to reach the vast Indian Ocean.
mh370 - 107 - b :
However, turning slightly to the right at waypoint Igari would lead you towards the gigantic Pacific Ocean.
mh370 - 107 - c :
Vastness? Turning right at waypoint Igari would have brought MH370 over the edge of the Philippine Sea into the Pacific Ocean.
mh370 - 107 - d :
Untraceable in a vast emptiness. Plotting the disappearance of MH370 over the gigantic Pacific Ocean would be an option.
mh370 - 107 - e :
Perhaps one problem with the route to the Pacific Ocean are the many islands in the Philippine Sea that can catch debris.
mh370 - 107 - f :
Planning a car holiday can be done on Google Maps. Planning the missing of an airliner requires a somewhat different map.
mh370 - 107 - g :
The flight map for planning the missing of an airliner contains waypoints, flight corridors, radar positions.
mh370 - 107 - h :
Planning the missing of an airliner, and not feeling obliged to fly by the rules, use Google Earth: mouse scrolling freedom.
mh370 - 107 - i :
Taking an airliner for a joyride, yet one still seems to plot a route using waypoints and aviation markings on an official flight map.
mh370 - 107 - j :
Planning the missing of MH370, no one will sit for hours of Indian Ocean flight behind their flight simulator to see the end.
mh370 - 107 - k :
In one's mind it would have played how much fuel MH370 was going to get. Less fuel would have meant less distance to disappear.
mh370 - 107 - l :
Lots of fuel would have meant the route towards the gigantic Pacific Ocean would have been possible with proper wind direction.
mh370 - 107 - m :
From a fuel perspective, the Indian Ocean route is the best option. The Indian Ocean is closest to waypoint Igari.
mh370 - 107 - n :
How to request for more fuel at KLIA? You simply ask for it.
mh370 - 107 - o :
Worrying: events unfolding in rapid order just after the last radio contact, i.e. when MH370 was no longer under KLIA control.
mh370 - 107 - p :
If entering the end of KLIA airspace was the trigger point, why then fly back in the direction of KLIA? That takes guts, it is a stunt.
mh370 - 107 - q :
From waypoint Igari on there are quicker options to fly towards the Indian Ocean than turning back into the direction of KLIA.
mh370 - 107 - r :
Flying back into the direction of KLIA is unexpected: no one searches for an airliner in the direction from which it came.
mh370 - 107 - s :
MH370 would certainly have gained time by returning into the direction of KLIA: misleading the authorities.
mh370 - 107 - t :
But why such complex manoeuvring for gaining extra time if the plan is to crash into the Indian Ocean? That does not add up.
mh370 - 107 - u :
The missing of MH370 planned as a hide and seek or a chasing game? Only in a chasing game one seeks ways for gaining extra time.
mh370 - 107 - v :
If one has the skill to plot and execute the disappearance of an airliner, one is certainly able to execute its intentions.
mh370 - 107 - w :
Being up in the sky with an airliner authorities cannot stop you. Authorities can, at best, come to you and fly side by side.
mh370 - 107 - x :
The reason for the Inmarsat pings not showing a straight trajectory over the Indian Ocean is that a chasing game was intended.
mh370 - 107 - y :
The World was to be told what happened to MH370 by means of a letter. Letters can get lost in a post office's system.
mh370 - 107 - z :
A letter would have bought extra time. Especially since it takes at least a full day before a letter is delivered.

mh370 - 106 - a :
Satellite handshakes with MH370 on 8 March: BBC, MH370: What we know.
mh370 - 106 - b :
A non-professional comment: looking at the dots of the timestamps, MH370 was flying largely parallel to Indonesia for 5 hours.
mh370 - 106 - c :
If the timestamp dots do match the rough position of MH370, it shows something different than simply flying into nothingness.
mh370 - 106 - d :
When wanting to fly into nothingness the timestamp dots would have been expanding away from Australia, not move towards it.
mh370 - 106 - e :
What is it with this change of course of the timestamps between 8:11 and 8:19. Looks like a hard right turn.
mh370 - 106 - f :
Look at the distance covered between 8:11 and 8:19, i.e. hundreds of kilometres in a few minutes. 8:19 should probably be 9:19.
mh370 - 106 - g :
But if 8:19 is correct then 8:11 should probably be 7:11 because the 7:11 timestamp dot is missing from the image.
mh370 - 106 - h :
Look at this image without the circles and only the timestamp dots. Then, replace the dots with miniatures of MH370.
mh370 - 106 - i :
If someone was playing hide and seek why then stick close to and fly parallel to Indonesia? To stay in the game, so to say.
mh370 - 106 - j :
Still in the hide and seek game, flying over Christmas Island, a shallow left turn would have kept MH370 parallel to Indonesia.
mh370 - 106 - k :
But instead of making a shallow left turn at Christmas Island (timestamp dot 8:11), MH370 made a hard right turn.
mh370 - 106 - l :
A hard right turn at timestamp 8:11 (or should that be 7:11) makes MH370 fly away from land and away from friends/relatives.
mh370 - 106 - m :
If flying away from friends is the goal then the turn at 8:11 should have been towards French Southern and Antarctic Lands.
mh370 - 106 - n :
Instead of flying a course towards the French Southern and Antarctic Lands, MH370 seems to fly more parallel to Australia.
mh370 - 106 - o :
If someone disabled the transponder, wanting to be untraceable, then flying relatively close to and parallel with Indonesia is not logical.
mh370 - 106 - p :
Perhaps that is the whole issue of making yourself untraceable: you plan to fly relatively close to Indonesia and Australia.
mh370 - 106 - q :
Even if that is the case the sudden change of course at timestamp 8:11 is something that should not be there.
mh370 - 106 - r :
Trying hard being untraceable to eventually, with two hours left of fuel, decide to fly away from the detectable area.
mh370 - 106 - s :
If someone did so much detailed planning of staying unseen, that person would also have thought about Indian Ocean currents.
mh370 - 106 - t :
The timestamp route is the best route for crashing into an Indian Ocean current that keeps debris hidden for a long period.
mh370 - 106 - u :
Considering Indian Ocean currents while plotting the faith of MH370 is certainly an originality in that master plan.
mh370 - 106 - v :
If MH370 would have gone straight at timestamp 8:11 it would have been on course for the Great Sandy dessert.
mh370 - 106 - w :
If from timestamp 8:11 MH370 flew straight MH370 might have reached Beagle Bay Airport or Broom International Airport.
mh370 - 106 - x :
RAAF Base Curtin, Anna Plains Airport, Sandfire Airport, Wallal Airport. All lay in a straight trajectory from timestamp 8:11 on.
mh370 - 106 - y :
But perhaps One Arm Point Airport and Beverley Springs Airport would be better for MH370 when running low on fuel.
mh370 - 106 - z :
Big Bell Airport, laying quite some distance from shore and in Australian waters, would suit best when running low on fuel.

mh370 - 105 - a :
Investigators, police, secret service and all other involved in a missing airliner always find something.
mh370 - 105 - b :
In the case of MH370 they find nothing. Everything is doubtful, no one seems to know.
mh370 - 105 - c :
All the experts in the field of aviation have shown their light on the missing of MH370. Worldwide expertise.
mh370 - 105 - d :
The best agencies have checked and double checked all and yet there is nothing.
mh370 - 105 - e :
From small-time community crime to terrorist attacks, authorities usually manage to track down those responsible.
mh370 - 105 - f :
In most cases there is always something, no matter how small, that skilled inspectors can use to shed some light.
mh370 - 105 - g :
Even those guys with fake passports were tracked down as simply two people who wanted to build a better future.
mh370 - 105 - h :
It would have been convenient when the usual suspect turns out to be responsible.
mh370 - 105 - i :
The difficulty starts when it isn't the usual suspect. Wheeling prejudice can lead to a good career, but not to MH370.
mh370 - 105 - j :
If robbing high valuable paintings from a museum was common skill it would have happened more often.
mh370 - 105 - k :
Security labels on clothing make it much more difficult, if not impossible, to perform shoplifting.
mh370 - 105 - l :
A high valuable car on a driveway however is a sitting duck for a skilled person with car theft on his mind.
mh370 - 105 - m :
Things do happen because of skill, circumstances, possibilities, or simply because there always is a backdoor.
mh370 - 105 - n :
Nothing just simply happens, especially not in aviation and certainly not when an airliner goes missing.
mh370 - 105 - o :
There must be something. Look closer when there is nothing. Look from a different angle.
mh370 - 105 - p :
There always is something, simply because in aviation things are designed for safety and not for disappearing from radar.
mh370 - 105 - q :
Captain Zaharie could be responsible. Yes, that is a scenario, but why then torturing yourself for 7 hours on-flight.
mh370 - 105 - r :
Captain Zaharie was a highly skilled and enthusiastic pilot, everybody knew that.
mh370 - 105 - s :
People like Captain Zaharie do not linger for 7 hours before eventually taking their own lives. They do it head-on.
mh370 - 105 - t :
Captain Zaharie commanded airliners for so many years, always fully imprinted and dedicated of getting his passengers home.
mh370 - 105 - u :
If the crew and passengers could let us know what happened we would all be going "Oh was that what happened. Of course!".
mh370 - 105 - v :
Even if someone planned all this then for sure even during planning-time a moment is designated for all to be revealed.
mh370 - 105 - w :
The only time you do not want to reveal anything is when you robbed a bank, then, you simply want to enjoy the money.
mh370 - 105 - x :
You know, when you plan and commit such a thing with an airliner you want to let the World know it was you.
mh370 - 105 - y :
If it was planned then that person was quite decisive given that all happened shortly after take-off.
mh370 - 105 - z :
No radio contact? But, at some point in time surely you need to talk to somebody, eventually an airliner must come down.

mh370 - 104 - a :
The wing, or a piece of it, still being adrift after such a long time at sea: praise engineering.
mh370 - 104 - b :
A plane crashes in the ocean and produces a piece of debris that stays adrift for a long period of time.
mh370 - 104 - c :
At some point in time everything in the ocean sinks. Things deteriorate, especially in the Indian Ocean.
mh370 - 104 - d :
Shellfish were attached to the piece of wing. Shellfish came up from the deep to attach themselves to the piece of wing.
mh370 - 104 - e :
Seeing the way the metal is bend it can be concluded what the angle of impact must have been.
mh370 - 104 - f :
Any piece of wing would stay adrift while undergoing torrential rainfall.
mh370 - 104 - g :
A piece of wing that contains no fuel anymore is more damaged on impact.
mh370 - 104 - h :
Luckily the buoyancy of an airliner's wing is strong enough to withstand sinking by the bashing waves.
mh370 - 104 - i :
You would say that the best way for shellfish get attached to a wing would be near a beach.
mh370 - 104 - j :
Shellfish are not the fastest marine life around, meaning, the wing needs to lay still for a while.
mh370 - 104 - k :
Shellfish are strong. They can hold on to a rock in a violent surf. A wing on the ocean is easy going.
mh370 - 104 - l :
Things that are adrift in the ocean attract all sorts of marine life.
mh370 - 104 - m :
Shellfish attract seagulls, seagulls attract bigger fish.
mh370 - 104 - n :
Things that are adrift in the ocean provide birds with a place to rest.
mh370 - 104 - o :
The safest place for any animal to take a rest, other than a piece of wing, is a piece of wood.
mh370 - 104 - p :
Natural objects/material stay longer adrift than man-made objects. A coconut versus a wing.
mh370 - 104 - q :
In the fast Indian Ocean the wreckage of a Boeing777 means nothing, not even a ripple.
mh370 - 104 - r :
The Indian Ocean keeps it rhythm, no matter what.
mh370 - 104 - s :
For one part of a wing reaching Réunion from a huge distance is fortunate.
mh370 - 104 - t :
For two pieces of MH370 reaching Réunion from over 4000km is impressive.
mh370 - 104 - u :
For two pieces of MH370 to stay together for 4000km on the Indian Ocean requires similar buoyancy.
mh370 - 104 - v :
A piece of wing and a Chinese marked plastic bottle staying together for 4000km on the Indian Ocean.
mh370 - 104 - w :
It is hard for a wooden board and a plastic bottle to stay together on the Thames river.
mh370 - 104 - x :
The odds that two completely different objects reach Réunion at the same time from 4000km away.
mh370 - 104 - y :
A plastic bottle is more likely to stay adrift for many years on the Indian Ocean than an airliner's aluminium/steel.
mh370 - 104 - z :
A plastic water bottle would carry a message just as good as a glass bottle.

mh370 - 102 - a :
In case of criminal intent you only deviate from your original trajectory when reaching cruising altitude.
mh370 - 102 - b :
If not at cruising altitude, wait till you are near waypoint Igari to deviate from your original trajectory.
mh370 - 102 - c :
Reaching cruising altitude or flying near waypoint Igari, it does not matter. Once airborne no one can stop you.
mh370 - 102 - d :
One bothered to fly the first part of the flight via the normal pathway, and not deviate after 15 minutes into the flight.
mh370 - 102 - e :
After 30 to 45 minutes into the flight all check-ups had been made, after which one pilot can fly alone.
mh370 - 102 - f :
One is going to bring down a fully packed airliner and still bothers to fly along a regulated flight corridor.
mh370 - 102 - g :
So your mind is fully set to crash an airliner and yet you stick to the rules of flight: always fly along flight corridor.
mh370 - 102 - h :
A pilot joyrider has more freedom, not being bound to the tarmac, and yet one sticks to a flight corridor.
mh370 - 102 - i :
When commanding an apocalyptic flight one could take the airliner on an acrobatic tour.
mh370 - 102 - j :
Instead of flying into oblivion, you want to let your home crowd know that "you're the man": joy-flight above Kuala Lumpur.
mh370 - 102 - k :
Flying along the northern flight corridor and not responding to any traffic controller would really have set off a chaos.
mh370 - 102 - l :
If one of the two pilots plan to crash an airliner then eliminating the other pilot is a relatively small thing.
mh370 - 102 - m :
There is something about MH370's flight to BCIA that makes it the best pathway for hijacking (if that is what happened).
mh370 - 102 - n :
In case of criminal intent there were also other opportunities than to do with MH370 that what has happened to it.
mh370 - 102 - o :
Strange, a pilot sticking to the rules of flying along a flight corridor knowing he will crash the airliner.
mh370 - 102 - p :
Just break free of the flight corridor and fly that airliner to the moon and back, or whatever flightpath one always have wanted to fly.
mh370 - 102 - q :
There is, from an aviation point of view, more joyride potential in the pathway from KLIA to BCIA.
mh370 - 102 - r :
A flight from KLIA to Perth makes a better flight to plan the disappearance of an airliner: pass Indonesia and turn right.
mh370 - 102 - s :
Turning off the transponder makes one feel unseen by radar, yet one still follows the rule of using a flight corridor.
mh370 - 102 - t :
If one wants to fly an airliner unseen into oblivion simply punch the throttle and set course for the Indian Ocean.
mh370 - 102 - u :
In case of criminal intent there is still no logic in flying relatively near and parallel to the West Coast of Australia.
mh370 - 102 - v :
Programming the flight computer to fly into the Indian Ocean, yet still a trajectory parallel to Australia's West Coast.
mh370 - 102 - w :
In case of criminal intent, a trajectory towards the French Southern & Antarctic Lands sounds better: away from civilization.
mh370 - 102 - x :
Flying a steady course along the southern flight corridor relatively near Australia looks like Australia was not an issue.
mh370 - 102 - y :
A steady trajectory along the southern flight corridor indicates MH370 was thinking it was flying on course to BCIA.
mh370 - 102 - z :
The trajectory derived from the Inmarsat ping shows a robotic straight trajectory, no activity of a human interference.

mh370 - 100 - a :
Co-pilot's cell phone used while flying back over the Malay peninsula. CNN, Co-pilot's cell phone was on.
mh370 - 100 - b :
Pilots only use onboard communication equipment, even in the case a strictly personal message needs to be delivered.
mh370 - 100 - c :
Had e.g. the co-pilot's mother been on speed dial anyone having his phone could have touched that speed dial button.
mh370 - 100 - d :
Turning at waypoint Igari, with failing communication equipment, one could not make use of a cell phone at an earlier stage.
mh370 - 100 - e :
The telecommunication equipment that connected with the co-pilot's cell phone is situated on a mountain.
mh370 - 100 - f :
The reason why this telecommunication receiver picked up the co-pilot's cell phone is because the pilots managed to slow down.
mh370 - 100 - g :
Having only found the co-pilot's cell phone making a call indicates that the passengers were unaware of any danger.
mh370 - 100 - h :
Perhaps the passengers were aware of the danger but the co-pilot made use of a better telecommunications provider.
mh370 - 100 - i :
Some cell phone manufacturer build models that allow passengers to call someone while being seated in a fast-moving jet.
mh370 - 100 - j :
The stewardesses making use of the onboard telephone to call KLIA. That functionality only exists in the movies.
mh370 - 100 - k :
The flight engineer aboard would have been able to fix any fault with the onboard telephone had there been a need to do so.
mh370 - 100 - l :
Would the passengers have noticed the co-pilot was locked out many cell phone calls would have been made.
mh370 - 100 - m :
If there is such a thing as an onboard telephone, it would then also be logical to have a speed dial button on it to call KLIA.
mh370 - 100 - n :
Nowadays after 9/11 for sure the telephone system on board must have been equipped with speed dial buttons.
mh370 - 100 - o :
From a system failure point of view it says something had it been that the telephone system on board was not working anymore.
mh370 - 100 - p :
The telephone system on board is linked to the cockpit's communication systems. Text messages can be sent from it.
mh370 - 100 - q :
You, as a passenger, are most likely not aware of the plane making turns it is not supposed to do when flying at night.
mh370 - 100 - r :
Thinking that passengers would make use of their cell phone if an airliner flies properly is highly unlikely.
mh370 - 100 - s :
The flight engineer for sure is skilled in solving problems but without any reason to act that skill remains idle.
mh370 - 100 - t :
In general, the most likely call for help from pilots is to ask if there is a doctor on board when a passenger gets unwell.
mh370 - 100 - u :
Even if the passengers would have known about any trouble aboard they would only use their cell phone when they lose faith.
mh370 - 100 - v :
One case in which the passengers did, and luckily managed to, call their relatives was in the 9/11 hijacking.
mh370 - 100 - w :
When the pilots of MH370 wanted, and could, call KLIA to notify them of their problems, they had the right number to do so.
mh370 - 100 - x :
If you as a pilot do not have the number of KLIA then who do you call? The person who is closest to you.
mh370 - 100 - y :
When being in trouble in Kuala Lumpur city you call 112 from your cell phone, that also would have worked from a troubled airliner.
mh370 - 100 - z :
Had a text message been sent from the co-pilot's cell phone, that message would have had a good chance of being delivered.

An @nprnews article. Switching off a Boeing 777's transponder is easy, shutting down ACARS is not. npr.org, Boeing 777 Pilots: It's Not Easy To Disable Onboard Communications.
mh370 - 99 - b :
The pilots interviewed said they must go through checklists to find out how to switch off ACARS. npr.org, The Difficulty Of Making A Modern Airplane Disappear.
mh370 - 99 - c :
Even more so, the pilots indicated they might need premeditation to find out how to switch off ACARS. npr.org, The Difficulty Of Making A Modern Airplane Disappear.
mh370 - 99 - d :
A Boeing 777's transponder can be switched off (accidentally) at the flip of a switch. No notification alarm when that happens.
mh370 - 99 - e :
Had the transponder and ACARS been installed close to each other, technical failure in one stopping the other is plausible.
mh370 - 99 - f :
If ACARS can only be switched off by premeditation, shortly after take-off, means the checklists for this are publicly available.
mh370 - 99 - g :
The checklists needed for premeditated acts are offline available for every pilot, by means of study.
mh370 - 99 - h :
ACARS is considered an aviation system that under any circumstances needs to function, hence, no off switch.
mh370 - 99 - i :
It means that engineers from Boeing have implemented ACARS is such a way that it cannot influence other systems aboard.
mh370 - 99 - j :
The first sign that something was wrong was when MH370's transponder stopped working at 1:21 AM and, secondly when ACARS stopped.
mh370 - 99 - k :
Instead, it might very well have been that it was ACARS that failed first and secondly the transponder (affected by ACARS).
mh370 - 99 - l :
ACARS having no On/Off switch means ACARS is physically not able to bring trouble to a Boeing 777 like a transponder can.
mh370 - 99 - m :
At the flip of a switch means any attempt to stabilize oneself by grabbing the cockpit wall will flip the transponder switch.
mh370 - 99 - n :
In a Boeing 777 simulator one can practice with the checklists repeatedly to succeed in switching off ACARS in 30 min.
mh370 - 99 - o :
Since MH370 deviated from its course ACARS must have triggered a failure big enough for the pilots to notice and turn around.
mh370 - 99 - p :
Physically and software wise it is possible for faults in the ACARS system to mess up other systems on board.
mh370 - 99 - q :
From a technical failure point of view: ACARS and the transponder failed, co-pilot used his cell phone, MH370 could still fly.
mh370 - 99 - r :
In this theory it is mentioned that another airliner nearby was asked to contact MH370. Flight MH370: A Speculative Scenario.
mh370 - 99 - s :
Failures in the transponder and ACARS could have jammed an accurate fuel indication.
mh370 - 99 - t :
Electrical wiring of the ACARS and the transponder is bundled throughout a Boeing 777 together with wiring of flight controls.
mh370 - 99 - u :
A cockpit transponder alarm would be triggered by a watchdog in the transponder and by seeing that the breaker has flipped.
mh370 - 99 - v :
It could be the off switch of the transponder was mistaken for another off switch, especially at night in a troubled cockpit.
mh370 - 99 - w :
The missing of MH370 should perhaps be looked at not as a single event, but, as two or more different events.
mh370 - 99 - x :
Had ACARS had an off switch and that switch would be flipped, the Inmarsat ping part of ACARS would also be switched off.
mh370 - 99 - y :
One way or another some actions (or minor technical failures) triggered a bug in either software or in electrical systems.
mh370 - 99 - z :
A software or electrical bug manifesting itself at daytime is much easier to handle than during nighttime.

mh370 - 98 - a :
MH370 took off at 00:41 local time. At that time passengers will try to get some sleep. BBC, The story of missing flight MH370.
mh370 - 98 - b :
Unless it was rough weather at KLIA, passengers would be relaxed enough to fall asleep when MH370 was over its steep climb.
mh370 - 98 - c :
Unless it was a moonlit night, most passengers would have closed the blinds not constantly facing the unpleasant deep darkness.
mh370 - 98 - d :
During daytime passengers got some orientation of where they are flying. At night that orientation is far less.
mh370 - 98 - e :
Flying at night change of direction or altitude works on the passengers likes the wobbling of a baby's cradle.
mh370 - 98 - f :
Had there been any technical failure on MH370, the emergency floor lights (pointing the direction of exits) would be activated.
mh370 - 98 - g :
If the passenger flight information system was on passengers would have noticed that MH370 was off course.
mh370 - 98 - h :
At night looking down from an airliner to the cities below is a pleasant passenger experience.
mh370 - 98 - i :
Flying off course, passing Aceh would have been the last time passengers could have spotted city lights below.
mh370 - 98 - j :
Accustomed to flying, and most likely enjoying it, the passenger flight engineer on board would have been asleep quite soon.
mh370 - 98 - k :
During their break, flight attendants on MH370 would have noticed the city lights of Chinese cities were missing at some point.
mh370 - 98 - l :
If the passenger flight information system was on, passing Indonesia but still seeing land provided some feeling of safety.
mh370 - 98 - m :
Looking at the flight information system, passengers would only start worrying when not returning to Indonesia, i.e. land.
mh370 - 98 - n :
At nighttime the passenger flight information system on board is more looked at since there isn't much else to look at.
mh370 - 98 - o :
Around 5:00 AM (sunrise) passengers who were asleep must have been shocked seeing only water and not the Chinese mainland.
mh370 - 98 - p :
More alarming would be finding the sunrise on port side of MH370, and not what is should have been, i.e. starboard side.
mh370 - 98 - q :
The first sign of daylight on port side would have triggered the pilots they were flying in opposite direction of BCIA.
mh370 - 98 - r :
At the dawn of day, when passengers noticed only water, they would try to pinpoint their location via their GPS app.
mh370 - 98 - s :
At night the routine of flight attendants is such that flight attendants have more time to enjoy the view of city lights.
mh370 - 98 - t :
On board MH370 there was proper medication to get pilots back on their feet when suffering from food poisoning.
mh370 - 98 - u :
Flying through Indonesian airspace at night would trigger a response from Indonesian Air Force.
mh370 - 98 - v :
Since there was no Indonesian Air force response means that MH370 took a wide trajectory avoiding the busy Indonesian airspace.
mh370 - 98 - w :
Attempts to do repairs aboard MH370 would be quite hard in case the lights failed after 2 or 3 hours into the flight.
mh370 - 98 - x :
One of us noticing anything of a course deviation when flying that late at night. Most likely not.
mh370 - 98 - y :
When would one of us really start to get worried? That would be when still not seeing the Chinese mainland around 6:00 AM.
mh370 - 98 - z :
Flying late at night we would only start to worry when e.g. we notice the dimmed lights start to flicker.

Captain Zaharie: probably one of MAS' best pilots. International Business Times, Who was Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah.
mh370 - 97 - b :
How different the interpretation of MH370's trajectory would have been had it been flown by a less experienced pilot.
mh370 - 97 - c :
Captain Zaharie flew in one of the most interesting places a pilot can fly: the beautiful and dynamic Asian region.
mh370 - 97 - d :
Raising his family in the area he flew, Captain Zaharie made sure MAS' flight simulator was in perfect shape.
mh370 - 97 - e :
Captain Zaharie, besides flying, had a passion for cooking. Such psychology would hardly suggest a fanatical personality.
mh370 - 97 - f :
Loving good food and going to restaurants for that, or, enjoying cooking good food yourself are two different things.
mh370 - 97 - g :
From a psychological point of view, he who loves cooking usually defines a person having a positive attitude in general.
mh370 - 97 - h :
Apart from the ingredients, flying a Boeing 777 is like cooking: it is all about creating and maintaining a proper balance.
mh370 - 97 - i :
When spending time with his family, Captain Zaharie often talked about his job pointing at the airliners overhead.
mh370 - 97 - j :
At nights in Kuala Lumpur, Captain Zaharie enjoyed looking at airliners in the night sky.
mh370 - 97 - k :
Kuala Lumpur airspace at night is great to watch with all the airliners overhead. More filled with airliners than US airspace.
mh370 - 97 - l :
At nighttime the best location to enjoy KLIA and the airliners overhead is from the hills surrounding Kuala Lumpur.
mh370 - 97 - m :
From the east shore of the Malay peninsula it is possible to have a visual on waypoint Igari, where MH370 made its sharp left turn.
mh370 - 97 - n :
Having flown all over the Kuala Lumpur region, Captain Zaharie knew the safest pathways for a troubled airliner.
mh370 - 97 - o :
Relatively safe is the Andaman and Nicobar Islands region: far less airliners but still close enough to return safely to KLIA.
mh370 - 97 - p :
The Malay peninsula is quite narrow and is quickly crossed. You must program the flight computer with the waypoints ahead.
mh370 - 97 - q :
Not only did Captain Zaharie knew the pathways of the Kuala Lumpur region well, he also knew the waypoints very well.
mh370 - 97 - r :
Being a pilot is like being a sailor or a truck driver: it is not a job, it is a way of life - it is what I am, it is what I do.
mh370 - 97 - s :
Always busy with his job, Captain Zaharie studied aircraft accidents to become an even better pilot. International Business Times, Who was Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah.
mh370 - 97 - t :
The Kuala Lumpur flight region is close to other countries, before you know it you have entered another country's airspace.
mh370 - 97 - u :
When thinking about pathways in the Kuala Lumpur region you quickly get a feel for the waypoints and other countries' airspace.
mh370 - 97 - v :
Pilots become better pilots when practicing difficult flight situations in a flight simulator.
mh370 - 97 - w :
Having grown up and flown many hours in the Kuala Lumpur region, Captain Zaharie knew the waypoints and pathways overhead.
mh370 - 97 - x :
If someone like Captain Zaharie had trouble managing MH370, no one could have done better. International Business Times, Who was Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah.
mh370 - 97 - y :
Had Captain Zaharie not been one of MAS' best pilots, assumption of technical failure would be more acceptable.
mh370 - 97 - z :
To some extend it can be said that the experience and skill of Captain Zaharie are used against him. International Business Times, Who was Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah.

mh370 - 96 - a :
MH370 flew at night and dawn for the large part of the flight Reuters, Radar data suggests missing Malaysia plane flown deliberately toward Andamans - sources.
mh370 - 96 - b :
Surrounded by darkness the illuminated buttons, gauges and indicators tend to enhance the pilot's senses.
mh370 - 96 - c :
Flying at night, surrounded by darkness and illuminated buttons, gauges and indicators allow for the best pilot-experience.
mh370 - 96 - d :
At night the illuminated buttons, gauges and indicators allow pilots to more easily locate flight controls than during daytime.
mh370 - 96 - e :
At night the illuminated buttons, gauges and indicators allow pilots to more easily locate alarm beeps than during daytime.
mh370 - 96 - f :
Seated in a cockpit at night the illuminated transponder and ACARS buttons are easily accidentally touched in an emergency.
mh370 - 96 - g :
At night it is the nature of pilots to "feel and focus" on waypoints. In the surrounding darkness waypoints provide grip.
mh370 - 96 - h :
An airliner having serious and sudden trouble at night, there is no safer way than to deviate near a waypoint.
mh370 - 96 - i :
Turning at waypoint Igari avoids one ending up in one another's trajectory. Turn at waypoints, not in the middle of a lane.
mh370 - 96 - j :
Having turned at waypoint Igari, the narrow Malay peninsula is quickly crossed with a Boeing 777, even a troubled one.
mh370 - 96 - k :
Turning at waypoint Igari a troubled Boeing 777 quickly needs to plot a safe waypoint-route towards less busy flight areas.
mh370 - 96 - l :
A troubled Boeing 777 at night, with enough fuel and poor communication, is better off in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands region.
mh370 - 96 - m :
Keeping a cool head the pilots knew it was safer to fly a waypoint-route at night instead of a straight line.
mh370 - 96 - n :
After waypoint Igari MH370 stayed relatively near land/an airport waiting for daylight. Reuters, Radar data suggests missing Malaysia plane flown deliberately toward Andamans - sources.
mh370 - 96 - o :
Perhaps the safest area to wait for dawn and daylight is south of Indonesia, above the Indian Ocean: less to no airliners.
mh370 - 96 - p :
Knowing where he was and still sharp from the recent take-off, Captain Zaharie easily made a responsible turn at waypoint Igari.
mh370 - 96 - q :
Turning at waypoint Igari, why not? It is always best to change direction on intersections, and not in the middle of a lane.
mh370 - 96 - r :
Executing the turn before waypoint Igari meant it was hijacked. Doing it after Igari meant there were technical failures.
mh370 - 96 - s :
A sharp turn and not a more passenger friendly turn because at nighttime on busy pathways you must do things quickly.
mh370 - 96 - t :
Had MH370 turned sharp right at Igari it would have brought itself on the busy pathway to Indonesia, and further away from KLIA.
mh370 - 96 - u :
Had it been daytime MH370 would not have turned, but instead, descent towards a nearby Vietnamese airport.
mh370 - 96 - v :
It would have been irresponsible to execute a normal turn at waypoint Igari at nighttime.
mh370 - 96 - w :
A sharp turn at nighttime suggests an emergency and a normal turn suggests "All OK, but better to return".
mh370 - 96 - x :
Cruising altitude means being at cruising speed. Considering cruising speed, the sharp left turn was not too sharp for that speed.
mh370 - 96 - y :
Making a turn within a 30-mile radius of waypoint Igari is considered a turn at that waypoint.
mh370 - 96 - z :
A troubled Boeing 777 at night, how to stay visible to other airliners? You follow waypoint-routes till it is safe not to do so.

Even if Mr Franklin's debris is not from an airliner, it still would be good to know what it is part of. The Sunday Morning Herald, Flight MH370 search.
mh370 - 95 - b :
Mr Franklin's debris is not from an aircraft because the two-hour black box signal was located outside the Leeuwin Current.
mh370 - 95 - c :
Ocean experts think the Leeuwin Ocean Current most likely dropped this debris on the shore of Augusta. Busselton-Dunsborough Mail, MH370 debris could wash up on WA coast.

The South Indian Current would push this object into the Leeuwin Current. Tomnod, @AWeeBitCrazy
mh370 - 95 - g :
The bigger the object the more likely it is the Leeuwin Current can keep it entrapped.
mh370 - 95 - h :
The South Indian Current keeps large objects from washing up on Southern Australia's coastline.
mh370 - 95 - i :
For future SAR missions it would be good to know what can generate aircraft-like debris as Mr Franklin's. The Sunday Morning Herald, Flight MH370 search.
mh370 - 95 - j :
Bunbury, Busselton and Dunsborough also form a coastal region where the Leeuwin Current can drop similar debris.
mh370 - 95 - k :
Whatever this part was ruptured from, given the violent impact it has undergone, similar objects could follow.
mh370 - 95 - l :
Debris, such as this The Sunday Morning Herald, Flight MH370 search, cannot have been tossed into the water from shore.
mh370 - 95 - m :
One could pull a stunt by creating aircraft-like debris and tossing it in the ocean for it to wash ashore.
mh370 - 95 - n :
For the stunt to work it is necessary to drop it 500 yards from shore into the water for it to be picked up by ocean currents.
mh370 - 95 - o :
Objects that tend to near the coastline usually do not stay adrift in the more turbulent waters near the beach.
mh370 - 95 - p :
Any debris sunken off-coast can end up in a dredger's cargo-hold and be transported to places debris is normally not found.
mh370 - 95 - q :
Debris like the one Mr Franklin found The Sunday Morning Herald, Flight MH370 search can easily can get caught up in disposed fishing nets.
mh370 - 95 - r :
Debris of MH370 cannot wash up on Indonesian shores since the Leeuwin Current travels south. Busselton-Dunsborough Mail, MH370 debris could wash up on WA coast.
mh370 - 95 - s :
Metallic objects adrift are rare. A violently twisted and ruptured fuselage can't generate the buoyancy needed for drift.
mh370 - 95 - t :
Mr Franklin's debris, The Sunday Morning Herald, Flight MH370 search, could only have washed ashore due to the buoyancy of the insulation.
mh370 - 95 - u :
Ms Teede (BUO, Busselton-Dunsborough Mail, MH370 debris could wash up on WA coast.) said that many objects always wash up on West Australia's coast.
mh370 - 95 - v :
Based on what Ms Teede said (Busselton-Dunsborough Mail, MH370 debris could wash up on WA coast.) it would be good having a team of beachcombers added to the SAR mission.
mh370 - 95 - w :
Beachcombers in the coastal line from Bunbury to Augusta know the best seasonal time to find objects on the beaches.
mh370 - 95 - x :
Based on Ms Teede's statement the search on West Australian coastlines can become more important than searches on water.
mh370 - 95 - y :
Forensic experts doubted Mr Franklin's debris because the flight recorder's ping was located further north-west of Augusta.
mh370 - 95 - z :
It still is possible for an airliner's debris, located far at sea, to wash ashore in Augusta.

mh370 - 92 - c :
A closed cockpit door is designed to withstand a two-hour pounding of 226 passengers supervised by a flight engineer.
mh370 - 92 - d :
Adrenaline would provide the passengers with mental and physical strength that would equal 250 passengers.

If tools were needed to dismantle a passenger seat, the flight engineer with his tools would suffice.
mh370 - 92 - h :
The construction worker, also aboard, also knows his way around tools. BBC, The passengers on board MH370.
mh370 - 92 - i :
Turning a passenger seat into a battering ram would require less tools when supervised by the construction worker.
mh370 - 92 - j :
On board MH370 there was enough food to power 227 passengers to breakdown the cockpit door.
mh370 - 92 - k :
Almost one hour into the flight food that was already served would have fallen of the tables due to the left turn at Igari.
mh370 - 92 - l :
The construction worker could reach the cargo-hold to get his tools for dismantling a passenger's seat.
mh370 - 92 - m :
In a construction worker's hand a tool can do so much more in case of an emergency.
mh370 - 92 - n :
The construction worker could have gotten help from the mechanical engineer from Cambridge University. BBC, The passengers on board MH370.
mh370 - 92 - o :
A flight engineer, a construction worker and a mechanical engineer from Cambridge university: a demolition team.
mh370 - 92 - p :
Getting to the cargo-hold, to get tools, would have been a higher priority at some point in time than breaking down the cockpit door.
mh370 - 92 - q :
The mechanical engineer would be able to strengthen a catering trolley for usage as a battering ram.
mh370 - 92 - r :
Since 9/11 catering trollies have light armour plating to provide aid for crew and air marshals.
mh370 - 92 - s :
If no tools are available for sure a fire extinguisher would serve well as a battering ram.
mh370 - 92 - t :
No other area of an airliner can be reached, without force, from the passenger area.
mh370 - 92 - u :
A second mechanical engineer, who was a martial arts specialist and a former soldier, was present. BBC, The passengers on board MH370.
mh370 - 92 - v :
The crew has access to tools that would benefit these passenger engineers who were on board.
mh370 - 92 - w :
Seated in an airliner all looks so light and fragile, as if you could tear it all off with a little force.
mh370 - 92 - x :
Even if these engineers managed to get to the vast network of cables you still need the drawings to know what is what.
mh370 - 92 - y :
The flight recorder, being rock solid, allows it to be a good battering ram.
mh370 - 92 - z :
No valves or mechanical unlocking mechanisms outside the cockpit that could release the cockpit door.

mh370 - 90 - a :
The flight engineer onboard MH370 most likely "listened" to the airliner when it deviated from its course. Reuters, Malaysia police probe flight engineer.
mh370 - 90 - b :
MH370 descending unevenly at 2:15 AM certainly must have triggered the flight engineer's attention. The New York Times, Search for Flight MH370.
mh370 - 90 - c :
A flight engineer, traveling as a passenger, letting an airliner descent unevenly. Guess not.
mh370 - 90 - d :
The resulting movement of an airliner, if a pilot needs to compensate for the flight engineer's actions, would be similar.
mh370 - 90 - e :
As a crash was eminent the flight engineer dropped the flight recorder in the Indian Ocean to safeguard it from crashing.
mh370 - 90 - f :
It is possible for a flight engineer to create a spoken log in the flight recorder. In this case a log as to what has happened.
mh370 - 90 - g :
A flight engineer could rewire an existing microphone to create a spoken log in the flight recorder.
mh370 - 90 - h :
A flight engineer can communicate with the pilots when the cockpit door won't open.
mh370 - 90 - i :
A pilot is informed about the details of the passengers, especially when one of the passengers is a flight engineer.
mh370 - 90 - j :
When technical problems started on board MH370 the flight engineer made himself known to the pilots.
mh370 - 90 - k :
A flight engineer has options to communicate with the outside world while not being in the cockpit.
mh370 - 90 - l :
A flight engineer, outside the cockpit, can influence an airliner's movement.
mh370 - 90 - m :
A flight engineer has access to tools for fixing problems on board an airliner.
mh370 - 90 - n :
An airliner consists more out of a vast network of cables and straightforward equipment than high-tech.
mh370 - 90 - o :
Removing a transponder during the flight is not that difficult.
mh370 - 90 - p :
An airliner flying over water cannot simply land to get its problems fixed. There were spares on board MH370.
mh370 - 90 - q :
The flight engineer could have repaired any transponder and flight computer problems by using spares.
mh370 - 90 - r :
A simple laptop would have done the job, no special cables and connectors needed.
mh370 - 90 - s :
Trouble with the heading sensor is perhaps more difficult to fix since it is an analogue device.
mh370 - 90 - t :
There are spares on board an airliner to repair the flight data recorder and the voice recorder.
mh370 - 90 - u :
All manuals for solving problems on board an airliner are located in the cockpit.
mh370 - 90 - v :
The flight engineer had manuals for the job in Beijing which were identical to the ones aboard MH370. Reuters, Malaysia police probe flight engineer.
mh370 - 90 - w :
Captain Zaharie's experience (pilot and flight instructor) combined with the flight engineer's skill would have fixed most problems.
mh370 - 90 - x :
Khairul was scheduled for Beijing. The cargo-hold contained his tools needed to fix MH370's problems. Reuters, Malaysia police probe flight engineer.

Locations in the airplane where one needs to hide to disable the ACARS system.
mh370 - 2 :
Gas can be used to subdue the pilots. There is a spot where this gas needs to be released for it to reach the pilots.
mh370 - 3 :
If it was a deliberate act to hijack the plane, it could also have been done after the second last contact with the pilots.
mh370 - 4 :
If a hijack was planned, it would then be too risky to wait any longer with the hijack because of Chinese airspace.
mh370 - 5 :
Parts of the airplane's communication system can be used to track US drones.
mh370 - 6 :
There are things at KLIA that make it an interesting location to enter the airplane illegally.
mh370 - 7 :
A certain angle of descent is needed to crash an airplane in the ocean causing almost no debris.
mh370 - 8 :
More difficult is it to hijack a cargo plane that is travelling the same route as flight MH370.
mh370 - 9 :
No phone calls have been made from flight MH370. Safe to say that during the entire known flight nothing strange happened.
mh370 - 10 :
How to make a car untraceable? You repaint it. And what about an airplane? You do the same.
mh370 - 11 :
It is relatively safe to navigate and land a Boeing 777 at night without knowing the weather conditions.
mh370 - 12 :
Perhaps we are looking at an initially well-executed plan that at some point went terribly wrong.
mh370 - 13 :
Not much better would the trajectory to avoid radar have been had the pilot been given constant tower control guidance.
mh370 - 14 :
The unnatural trajectory/manoeuvres were caused by the failing recently repaired left wing.
mh370 - 15 :
It is possible for a hijacked airplane to take the shortest route, it does not have to make use of aerial marks nor of landmarks navigation.
mh370 - 16 :
There is a first time for everything. What that exactly is in the case of flight MH370 is not clear yet.
mh370 - 17 :
The system on board, that is used to plot a route, automatically considers the amount of fuel that is on board.
mh370 - 18 :
If a Boeing 777 would fly the entire route of MH370 it would provide the same radar results that countries now have.
mh370 - 19 :
There are computer viruses that can shut down systems on board MH370. For example a Unix based virus.
mh370 - 20 :
Pray all passengers are well. Debris does still stick well together on an open ocean after a week.
mh370 - 21 :
Birds have a keen eye that will allow them to locate debris. Well programmed drones do too.
mh370 - 22 :
Local fisherman on the ocean know their waters. If asked to join the search, they know which signs to keep an eye on.
mh370 - 23 :
The Boeing 777 of MH370 must have flown the same route before on a regular flight since it is a regular route.
mh370 - 24 :
A pilot who lost all systems while being on a busy flight route will fly low and use navigational landmarks to get back safely.
mh370 - 25 :
It is easy to misinterpret the pilot's actions when not looking at the cockpit situation from the pilot's perspective.
mh370 - 26 :
The cockpit situation combined with system loss can easily result in the misinterpretation of navigational landmarks.
mh370 - 27 :
Captain Zaharie, 18000 hours over 30 years and love for the Boeing 777. A sensible outcome has a more natural fit given these numbers.
mh370 - 28 :
When flying from KLIA to BCIA, and one would fly 180 degrees in the opposite direction, it will lead to the current search area.
mh370 - 29 :
Every part of an airplane is curved. All parts of a Boeing 777 need to be flattened to become large rectangular debris.
mh370 - 30 :
Going through the trouble of flying a decent navigational path towards the Andaman and Nicobar Islands to eventually take a rogue route south.
mh370 - 31 :
The route south over the Indian Ocean could easily have been taken by two simple left turns from the last point of radio contact.
mh370 - 32 :
As a pilot you are trained to trust your instruments, especially in extreme conditions.
mh370 - 33 :
When an airplane has noticeable problems and the captain asks to switch off all electronic devices, you will most likely do so.
mh370 - 34 :
Flying low over the Malaysian peninsula you do not risk worsening the electronic problems on board by using your mobile phone.
mh370 - 35 - a :
The search area in the Indian Ocean is a known location The New York Times, Search for missing jet. One name it has is the "Roaring Forties".
mh370 - 35 - b :
On an open ocean the "Roaring Forties" stand out on navigational maps as a fixed point. A coordinate a jet needs to avoid.
mh370 - 36 :
Abnormal flight behaviour, causing commotion, flying too fast. If MH370 was a car one could say someone took it for a joyride.
mh370 - 37 :
Even the communication systems of a Boeing 777 can, like any other PCB: fail, catch fire, get damaged or cause damage.
mh370 - 38 :
As a pilot you first assess any system trouble before deviating from your trajectory, unless immediate action is required.
mh370 - 39 :
The safest thing a troubled Boeing 777, that is near it's home base, can do is to get out of the busy pathways and fly low.
mh370 - 40 :
MH370 travelled faster than it should, The New York Times, Search for missing jet. MH370 needed higher windspeeds over its wings to keep lift.
mh370 - 41 :
The minute MH370 deviated from its original trajectory it showed abnormal flight behaviour, as if flown with less experience.
mh370 - 42 :
Whatever happened, happened.
mh370 - 43 :
Without a flight data recorder, the closest to the truth you can get depends on the type of person you are and how you interpret things.
mh370 - 44 :
Not that different would the trajectory back to Malaysia have been had KLIA requested MH370 to urgently fly back to KLIA.
mh370 - 45 - a :
Two minutes after the last radio contact things kick off, The New York Times, Search for missing jet. So, trouble had 38 minutes to prepare.
mh370 - 45 - b :
Engineers from Boeing would be able to get a Boeing 777 into the same state within 38 minutes during a simulation.
mh370 - 46 - a :
It is believed that the first turn MH370 took after 1:21 AM was programmed into the flight computer, The New York Times, Search for missing jet.
mh370 - 46 - b :
An experienced pilot would be able to make such a turn manually. A student would rather let the flight computer handle it.
mh370 - 46 - c :
Learning how to program a flight computer is something different than going through a full training to becoming a pilot.
mh370 - 46 - d :
Why only programming the initial turn? Two more coordinates would have set the route to the Indian Ocean.
mh370 - 47 :
Six out of ten people who play the Flight Simulator game will show wrongful handling when getting bored or lose purpose in the game.

mh370 - 51 :
The received Inmarsat signal could come from each of the two engines.
mh370 - 52 :
There is an Inmarsat signal even when an engine is stationary.
mh370 - 53 :
The received Inmarsat signal above the Indian Ocean shows steady flight speed.
mh370 - 54 :
At 2:15 AM a radar detected MH370 at 45000 and then 23000 feet. Loss of thrust, reason: flying on one engine or flaps deployed.
mh370 - 55 :
Around 1:21 AM there was a sharp left turn. G-forces on passengers and crew would have alarmed all on board.
mh370 - 56 :
Flying on one engine, a higher flight speed is needed to keep a decent lift.
mh370 - 57 :
The route above the Indian Ocean horizontally mirrored leads to BCIA. Damaged heading sensor since a steady flight pattern was kept.
mh370 - 58 :
Between 1.21 AM and 2.15 AM there was engine trouble. The trajectory over the Indian Ocean tells of worsening navigational problems.
mh370 - 59 :
Captain Zaharie had to make a dreadful decision: fly away from civilization.
mh370 - 60 :
Flight data recorder. Expand battery operating time: ping each 10 seconds, not each second.
mh370 - 61 :
The flight data recorder being in an air bubble or having a damaged water detection sensor means: it sees no need to ping.
mh370 - 62 :
The flight data recorder is not in Indian Ocean. It lies in the South China Sea or on Malaysian land. Problems started there.
mh370 - 63 :
So close to KLIA after turning around above the South China Sea. Yet, MH370 was not able to turn towards KLIA.
mh370 - 64 :
MH370 was only able to steer by making use of its engines.
mh370 - 65 :
Having only the possibility to run the engines full throttle or stationary will result in a Boeing 777 that is hard to control.
mh370 - 66 :
Engines that are only willing to run flat out can be slowed down by flying in low oxygen air, i.e. at high altitude.
mh370 - 67 - a :
Indonesian military radar did not track MH370 when it flew towards the Indian Ocean.
mh370 - 67 - b :
Now that Inmarsat already reported MH370 flew towards the Indian Ocean, there is no reason for Indonesia to report it.
mh370 - 67 - c :
In a case as difficult as MH370 any piece of information could evolve into better insight.
mh370 - 68 - a :
The trajectory between 1:21 AM and 2:15 AM is not that strange had MH370 been in trouble. The New York Times, Search for missing jet.
mh370 - 68 - b :
At 2:15 AM a troubled MH370 was perfectly positioned to descent to KLIA. The New York Times, Search for missing jet.
mh370 - 69 - a :
A troubled airliner shows abnormal flight patterns, depending on the severity of its problems.
mh370 - 69 - b :
A troubled airliner does not follow your logical way of thinking. It goes where its troubles takes it.
mh370 - 70 :
Staying unseen in a Boeing 777 at night means switching off the navigation lights.
mh370 - 71 - a :
The first sharp left turn around 1:21 AM would have alarmed any air marshal had one been on board.
mh370 - 71 - b :
An air marshal, as well as a fake one, would be granted access to the cockpit before boarding and during the flight.
mh370 - 71 - c :
A captain and an air marshal are the two people on board passengers would put their trust in.
mh370 - 72 - a :
1:19 AM, last radio contact. 1:21 AM, transponder off and MH370 turns sharp left. Two minutes in-between. The New York Times, Search for missing jet.
mh370 - 72 - b :
Two minutes. On a normal day it passes quickly, in extreme conditions it feels like ages.
mh370 - 72 - c :
An experienced pilot, like on MH370, can do a lot within two minutes. Even more can be done if the co-pilot is present.
mh370 - 72 - d :
Experienced pilots react quick to sudden imminent aircraft failure. It is the routine and professionalism that kicks in.
mh370 - 72 - e :
In an extreme situation there is no better way than to use the flight computer to fly the aircraft.
mh370 - 72 - f :
An injured pilot is better off using the flight computer, especially in rough conditions.
mh370 - 73 - a :
Dear Chinese Authority, sad to hear Cao Shunli's organs failed. May your MH370 search efforts provide us with better results this time. Cao Shunli.

Search is moved north again. Not a trajectory towards the Roaring Forties but towards Australia. The New York Times, Search for missing jet.
mh370 - 76 - b :
The trajectory towards the Roaring Forties is a trajectory that is intended to not return alive.
mh370 - 76 - c :
The new search area shows a trajectory towards Australia, a trajectory that shows hope, or perhaps, regained aircraft control.

Q and A for a better grip. The New York Times, Q. and A. on Malaysia Airlines Flight 370.
mh370 - 79 - a :
Aviate, Navigate, Communicate: a pilot's mantra in case of an emergency. The New York Times, Q. and A. on Malaysia Airlines Flight 370.
mh370 - 79 - b :
Aviate, Navigate, Communicate, at some point Communicate would have become just as important for MH370 as Aviate.
mh370 - 79 - c :
Communicate as important as Aviate when an airliner knows it needs to make a water landing, i.e. sending out an SOS and its position.
mh370 - 79 - d :
Radio and flight enthusiasts on the west coast of Australia would be able to pick up an airliner's communication.
mh370 - 80 - a :
Upgraded Inmarsat ping signal: communicate an alarm the minute ACARS, the transponder or the flight data recorder goes offline.
mh370 - 80 - b :
A button within the pilot's reach to activate this upgraded Inmarsat ping signal would be a good option to have.
mh370 - 80 - c :
It is said that Aviation is a conservative industry. If the goal is to get robust systems then conservatism is a good thing.
mh370 - 80 - d :
An upgraded Inmarsat ping signal does not affect the airliner's capability so a quick implementation should be possible.
mh370 - 80 - e :
The upgraded Inmarsat signal could also be sent when the pilot's life signs start to fade. Release the cockpit door when this happens.
mh370 - 81 - a :
Voice data recorders only record for two hours, after that it overwrites the recorded data. The New York Times, Q. and A. on Malaysia Airlines Flight 370.
mh370 - 81 - b :
Recordings made when MH370 deviated from its trajectory may have been overwritten. The New York Times, Q. and A. on Malaysia Airlines Flight 370.
mh370 - 81 - c :
If the voice recorder was not switched off it could be the pilots left a spoken log, in the final hour, as to what has happened.
mh370 - 82 - a :
If it wasn't for Inmarsat's hourly ping signal the trajectory of MH370 into the Indian Ocean would most likely remain unknown.
mh370 - 82 - b :
American experts knew little about Inmarsat's ping signal. Then again, it lies deeper in the system. The New York Times, Q. and A. on Malaysia Airlines Flight 370b
mh370 - 82 - c :
Now that the whole world knows about it, it is better to design a new "ping signal" that remains unknown.
mh370 - 82 - d :
Use the existing Inmarsat ping signal and redesign it so everyone can monitor it in case of an emergency, a bit like an Amber Alert.
mh370 - 83 - a :
At 2:15 AM a military radar detects MH370 ascending to high altitude and then descending unevenly. The New York Times, Search for missing jet.
mh370 - 83 - b :
Why did MH370 descent unevenly at 2:15 AM? It simply could have stayed at high altitude and set course to where it was going.
mh370 - 83 - c :
The flight computer should have been used to keep MH370 at high altitude from 1:21 AM to 2:15 AM. The New York Times, Search for missing jet.
mh370 - 83 - d :
Military radar imagery from 1:21 AM to 2:15 AM show MH370 maintaining a steady altitude and not a roller-coaster ride.
mh370 - 83 - e :
A steady altitude movement would suggest there was no need to descent unevenly at 2:15 AM. The New York Times, Search for missing jet.
mh370 - 83 - f :
A roller-coaster ride suggests technical failure. Perhaps MH370 went above the Boeing 777's design limit earlier than 2:15 AM.
mh370 - 83 - g :
If MH370 saw need to travel above the Boeing 777's design limit it could also have done this when flying over the Indian Ocean.
mh370 - 83 - h :
Military radar has inaccuracies, but still, flying fast at high altitude might be caused by technical failures pushing the Boeing 777 to its limits.

mh370 - 85 :
Certainly not to put the blame, merely a suggestion: Boeing's engineers must go over their "unlikely list" again.
mh370 - 86 - a :
The search area of the flight data recorder is quite a bit north, The New York Times, Two More Sets of Signals Detected, compared to Inmarsat's calculation.
mh370 - 86 - b :
That means Captain Zaharie managed a very good water-landing, west of Perth, which allowed MH370 to stay adrift and move north.
mh370 - 86 - c :
This search area, The New York Times, Two More Sets of Signals Detected, indicates the flight data recorder is hovering under water in an ocean current.

@1papalotl, scepticism is important to have. @klovesbass, thanks for sharing, do not stop, do not hold back.
mh370 - 89 - c :
There was need to investigate rectangular objects at sea. Tomnod.
mh370 - 89 - d :
Perhaps from its dimensions it was concluded this could not be part of MH370.
mh370 - 89 - e :
Having probably found the flight data recorder does not mean MH370 could not be more south, given the mystery of it all.
mh370 - 89 - f :
From a deliberate point of view, ditching the flight data recorder and fly deeper south is the cherry on top of that theory.
