Malaysia Airlines 777 missing

It's been about 10 days and no-one has come forward claiming responsibility nor establishing motives with the flight crew. I think the longer this goes on, the more its looking like an accident.

An event of some kind breached the hull in the vicinity of the flight deck, injuring the pilots, depressurizing the aircraft and knocking out most of the avionics. The CA & FO were unable to immediately put on supplemental oxygen while fighting for control of the aircraft as it climbed to FL 450 and then descended to FL 250 (or whatever), before settling somewhere in the flight levels. If still alive, the CA & FO were unconscious. Other passengers would lose consciousness when their chemical oxygen generators ceased operation, or as they panicked and left their seats. Cabin crewmembers who grabbed portable oxygen bottles were also facing loss of consciousness as their supplies were exhausted. They may never have even attempted to access the flight deck physically, assuming that the pilots had regained (or were regaining) control. Calls on the interphone went unanswered.

The aircraft was now unpiloted and essentially NORDO, with the autopilot disengaged and power set wherever it happened to be. The heading was wherever the aircraft rolled out and "stabilized." It gradually climbed and descended with whatever stability is inherent in the B777 airframe at that power setting, along the southwesterly Inmarsat arc, beyond radar & radio contact, over open ocean, until fuel was exhausted.

Or it could be an alien abduction.

While I have never flown a 777 I'm pretty sure it didn't go from mid 30's to mid 40's in short order. I'm sure it took the better part of 10 minutes to get up there. When it weighs as much as it did I'm sure it took some time to get to that altitude and then it had to hold onto that altitude. The decending thing might be possible but someone is most likely manipulating the controls. As others on here have said I'm sure there are a few government agencies that have a pretty good idea about where the airplane is. That being said I'm also pretty sure no one has a concrete reason why it ended up there.

On one of the social media pages I follow, someone is crowing about "well, the Israelis think..."

So I asked "all of them? Really? From the Bar Rafeli sunbathing on the beach in Tel Aviv to the settler in a Kibbutz, they're all running up some conspiracy?" :)

I'm gojng to get banned.

One former Israeli intel dude or something said they need to concentrate on the Iranian teenagers who boarded with fake passports and the investigators are wasting their time chasing the other leads. Its not like they are paranoid or anything. ;)

What, Israel blames Iran for something? That NEVER happens. If Arnold Drummond were still around he'd be blaming The Gooch.

Oscillations while crew incapacitated and auto pilot turned off?

Maybe? That would take a long time though. Now they could have been carrying little to no cargo and just had warm bodies on board and maybe they shot right up to the mid 40's. The wings would start to have a hard time supporting that weight that high since the engines are not producing enough thrust. Once again I haven't flown one but I'm pretty sure it was manipulated by someone who was watching the parameters closely in order not to stall the wing.

Maybe the terrorists stole a whole airplane to use as a flying bomb

If he wanted to kill himself/crash they would've just nosed it over, why go to all that trouble. I'd bet it's on land somewhere, and intact.

Maybe his life insurance won't pay if the company can prove it's suicide, hence flying to where he hopes no one would find the airplane.

This was pretty close to my original theory, but in my limited knowledge I couldn't think of anything that would cause such failures. I think at this point more and more people are gravitating towards the alien theory ;)
 
Aliens, man. Aliens.

What, that's crazy? No crazier than any of the harebrained speculation I've seen reported at "news."

BTW, some journalists still practice it. I'm working on a business that's going to be featured in a digital magazine. It's good publicity for me and a nice story for them, and who knows, maybe you'll see my ugly mug on one of the local affiliates when I get things rolling.

The reporter asked me to give her the names of the contacts at the companies and agencies I'll be working with, and she will not run the story until she confirms it with all of them.

She's doing all that for a company that's going to be featured on a digital magazine for a network affiliate in the 30th largest media market.

And then we have the jokers on cable news giving air time to people who have no clue what they are talking about, with no data to support their "conclusions."
 
Good they found it
