    I wonder if it's possible that the plane could have crashed into the sea and gone straight to the bottom without breaking up on impact? I mean, if it had entered the water at a certain angle then could it have just continued downwardsr?

    not possible ... you would need a really sharp entry point to break the surface tension ... from that height - it's like hitting pavement ...

    I doubt the structure of the plane could withstand the impact force at any angle.

    i think the wings would break free for sure & the tail wing would possibly break free as well but i'd think for sure the wings would not take that kind of impact. boeing 777 has just one inch under a 200 foot wing span. 199 feet & 11 inches is correct.
    45,220 gallons or 171,160 liters maximum fuel
    maximum takeoff weight 660,000 pounds 299,370 kg

    these fuckers are huge

    slamming into the water at 300-400 mph or faster... i believe wings are coming apart

    Good point, however if its an remote airstrip it's probably going to be difficult to get a signal from there to send a text or call

    if someone attempts to use their phone, it will ping towers even if it cant get a signal, this is used in search and rescue often.

    With all of the satellites, surveillance and communications systems out there is it really possible no one knows what happened?

    Well so far i heard through the grape vine that the engine sends a radar message every so hours when in flight and it was reported to have sent a reading 4 hrs after it was reported missing, so Hijacking doesnt seem impossible. Also too celular phones of loved ones say that they are still ringing, but im not sure if it would still be ringing in any event of a crash or would.
    And it makes sence that the authorities would want to keep it hush hush if that was the case or there would be chaos and panic everywhere.

    250+ passengers means 250+ cell phones. if the plane was hijacked and landed on a remote airstrip, hidden & tucked away, i find it hard to believe one of those 250 people would not have sent a text message or call to someone. how does a hijacker possibly confiscate 250 cell phones? strip search?

    i find this whole situation hard to believe. you can say stuff like this about every scenario---if there was a catastrophic engine failure, there would have been a distress signal sent out...people would have

    Strange stuff.

    this is bat shit crazy. gotta be the weirdest story i have seen in years.


    Surprise, the story has changed.

    "The Wall Street Journal newspaper quoted U.S. investigators on Thursday as saying they suspected the plane remained in the air for about four hours after its last confirmed contact, citing data from the plane's engines that are automatically transmitted to the ground as part of a routine maintenance program.

    Hishammuddin said the government had contacted Boeing and Rolls Royce, the engine manufacturer, and both said the last engine data was received at 1:07 a.m. local time, around 23 minutes before the plane lost contact."

    this plane landed in pakistan. i'm calling it now.
    I heard on the AM that the plane has been hijacked and flown to a FEMA camp outside of Chicago where the passengers are to be exchanged for Osama Bin Laden who will then be flown to Benghazi and released so that he can unite the warring tribes, conquer Syria and bring on the Third Caliphate. This will force President Obama to not only admit to willingly authorizing but directly participating in Fast & Furious and finally admit that he also personally directed and oversaw the IRS target right wing, and right wing only, political organizations. The resulting political crises caused by impeachment proceedings will result in Putin reconstituting the former Soviet Union and the world slips back into an extended period of Cold War. Sarah Palin predicted it and for her astute global political understanding is rewarded with being elected president of the US of A.

    And those supposed contrails that the oil rig worker mentions in his email, those aren’t contrails. They’re the New World Order controlling the weather and modifying our food supply, in this case fishes in the ocean. Heard this on the AM as well.

    If its on the AM, it must be true.

    it's possible the hijacking wasn't terrorism related ... it also could be that the pilot was involved ... the plane was deliberately diverted to facilitate either further use of the plane; maybe someone on the plane was being extradited to china? ... dunno ...

    they are now saying that there is a 50% chance the plane actually changed course after losing contact ...

    more and more likely the plane landed somewhere and is hidden ...

    I totally agree! Feel for those on board and their families, worst not knowing what happened.

    So much for technology's omniscience.

    If the plane didn't crash and the passengers are indeed still alive, I can only wonder what - for this past week - they're doing (or being given?) for food, shelter, washing, basic comfort.

    Really feeling for them and their families.
