Watching documentary on 5+1 now

Imagine if its been hijacked and to be fllown into a western target ... with all passengers still on board

We've just watched it on 5. 

WHAT !!!!

The pilot allowed passengers to be on the flight deck !!!

Smoking!!!

Yup and chatting them up too - doesn't fill you with confidence.

Its been hijacked for sure

So where has it landed then??

yes - I read that soozy - overcome by fire and put onto auto pilot then crashed into the ocean after 7 hours -Pilot turned to go to nearest airstrip common practice apparently but why wait until they are between traffic controllers - coincidence ???? - just weird

Second star to the right, straight on til morning

Hi Ros  Surely can't be a coincidence - just too weird!

That sounds more plausible than what's happening now Sainty

I thought they had established that the tracking devices were turned off before the Co-Pilot sent the 'goodnight' message.  Its definteley a bizarre case.  I just wish that they would find out what has happened to it for the sake of the families.

       
       


The thing is if they put it on auto pilot then why are they looking near Australia, they would have to type in the codes into the auto pilot to tell it where to go so why have they ended up near Australia

Yes, seems they took a left turn - south west - that could explain the theory they were heading to the nearest airport for an emergency landing. But then yet another turn -  south towards southern Indian ocean, west of Australia and heading towards the Antarctic.

 

Its baffling. Must be torture for the poor relatives not even knowing. 

 

Chinese government now says it's found objects that could be the plane

       
       


That's the odd bit to me, who put in the codes for it to go in the way it did and why, also if they think something went wrong ie fire and then they were trying to land why then go on to fly out to where they are looking now

Malaysian Airlines officials have confirmed that flight MH370 had been carrying highly flammable lithium-ion batteries in its cargo hold.

The news has added further weight to the theory that the crew on the aircraft may have been overcome by an on-flight fire.

The Malaysian airlines flight disappeared from trace on March 9, while flying over the Southern Indian ocean, with 239 passengers and crew on board.

The admission by CEO Ahmad Jauhari  that the ill-fated flight was carrying potentially dangerous cargo, follows a denial four days ago.

The last final 54 mins of communication from flight MH370

Exactly! Its strange... none of the theories quite fit

 

Thanks for those links with the extra info Erin   

 

One thing I can't get out of my head is, what if the passengers knew for all those hours, they were on a doomed plane and were trapped. 

 

I see there are reports of 'wreckage' off Australia150 from where the previous 'wreckage' was reported...

Wonder if its different wreckage or the same?

Program on Sky now about it

FBI investigator says the plane wasn't on auto pilot has it wouldn't rise and fall or change direction, someone was flying that plane, if there was something wrong (fire etc) there would be a lot of debris, if it was a suicide landing there wouldn't be

Don't know if anyone else has seen the clip of the pilots going through security, I don't know if it's what they have to do but they both look up at a camera, the younger go does it for longer

The truth is they don't know and can only speculate. I wouldn't like to be one of the poor relatives who have to go through that every day

It must be heart breaking

The way things are looking they may never know what's happened to their loved ones either Aimee. Which is all the more upsetting for them

I agree, I don't think this wreckage will be the plane either

must be so awful and unimaginable

it's terrible moons and unbelievable in this technological age

Hi rosie

Hi Ros  hope you're well

 

 

they seem to think its the same Rosie, the drift would be about right

The CEO of Malaysia Airlines has separately confirmed highly flammable lithium-ion batteries were among the cargo being flown by flight MH370, days after he denied the plane was carrying any dangerous items.

Ahmad Jauhari said the batteries were were classified as non-dangerous goods and had been loaded onto the plane in compliance with aviation guidelines, with the cargo checked several times before take-off.

The batteries, which are used in mobile phones and laptops, have caused a number of fires on commercial planes and - in extreme cases - been blamed for destroying two cargo planes.

 

Worrying........

I'm fine thanks - hope you are OK

awful - saw this on TV - causes a hell of an explosion

Doing ok thanks Ros

 

Yes it does, but it doesn't explain why the plane flew off course for several hours, an explosion would be quick and the plane would have been found by now.

I may be being a tad thick here, but why are people surprised it is taking so long to find any plane wreckage? It took decades to find the titanic and people knew roughly where it sank as other ships were in the area picking up survivors.. it was a heck of a lot bigger than a plane too... if the plane was heading in a different direction any wreckage may have sank long before they started searching south of its original path..

 

I feel for the family's but I get very frustrated with all the conspiracy theorist and people putting out full on 'documentary' programmes based around nothing but guesswork and supposition..

 

I read a suggestion about what happened from a Pilot of 20 yrs... I would have more faith in his theory than I would have in some producer wanting to grab a fast buck on the back of a tragedy by rolling out a documentary within a week or two.. the Pilot stated that the fact the plane went dark was easily explained due to a sudden onboard fire knocking out all electrics and possibly the whole of the crew and passengers eventually, depending on what was burning... he said they practice that possibility and they turn towards the nearest landing strip and put the the plane on auto pilot but if the fire is of the kind that knocks people out within 30secs there is nothing that can be done.. they can't wear oxygen masks if there is a fire and fire hoods give no more than 2 minutes of air and that's about it.

 

it is very sad all around..

Olly, I read that one but sadly seems to have been debunked now

It's all just so bizarre, my friend was speculating about it being shot down if it went into airspace it shouldn't and wasn't identifying itself, but no one would want to 'own up' to that!

awww that's a shame. .I do wonder if some country has more info about last position but is not revealing it because it will reveal what technical capabilities that country has, if that makes sense..  I know what I mean anyway

 

I hope for the sake of the families that they can find it and they can at least know the truth . .I suspect a lot are holding out that their relatives are alive somewhere.. which sadly seems the most unlikely outcome of all

 

Didn't some other country shoot a plane out of the sky for invading airspace a few yrs back. .I think that was detected by a lot of other countries tho so, if the same had happened, I reckon it would also have been detected by countries using satellites specifically to check for missile launches so unlikely to be the case with this plane..

It does seem a lot of the families are hoping it's not wreckage from the plane as then all hope is gone, it's looking like it is though as surely they wouldn't send so many ships/planes there on a . whim, I also think they know more than they are telling us
