Malaysian Airlines flight 370

[RMAC757]

Ok...my thoughts are that the reason they went to a high altitude was to eliminate oxygen and kill or knock out the passengers...then went low to refill the plane with oxygen so the pilots (or whoever was flying the plane at that point) wouldn't have to use the masks.

I suspect someone wanted the plane for use as either a weapon or for terrorism training.

Could be. The incompetence that led up to and followed the plane going missing is sureal.

I'm surprised on the lack of radar coverage. Here I was thinking that everything in the air was tracked, labeled & recorded worldwide as a relic of the cold war and the war on drugs.

Why are there something like 26 nations now spending money they don't have to look for this thing? I understand it's important but so important that 26 nations are involved? The USA allows tries to help, China has lots of people on board and Malaysia is the home country, but why so many others? The world can never get 26 nations to work together for the same goal. So my questions is, what in the hell do they know that makes so many countries want to be involved in the search effort?

The potential fame and national pride that goes along with finding something lost...just spit-balling. There is also the training aspect. Technology sharing with those who know what they are doing is "cheap" training. I have now worked several major accidents/fires where the BATF, HMS showed up on site and requested to work alongside. They had no authority, were not called in, but saw it as an uncontrolled event that let them field train agents with no potential downside. There were some agents that sorely needed the training, and another set of eyes was never a bad thing.

don't judge us!



Why do millions of americans waste their weekends on pointless internet sights, hitting the refresh button over and over, wishing someone is post whoring?

I heard after 5 days the plane becomes finders keepers. Pretty sure that is a rule we all learned as kids.

Probably a pretty security issue to have an unaccounted for airplane after 9/11.

I was not judging, just pointing out that it is part of human nature to search for things.

oh okay than. Sort of like the poeple that don't know how to type and have to hunt out for the keys? Oh little kids hide our car keys and think its funny when we have to play hide and seek? yeah. I guess it's in our nature to find/search for things.... still looking for the millions of dollars I lost last year
