The Search for the Boeing 777

[AliShibaz]

I just saw the news story that a Boeing 777 has gone missing over Vietnamese air space.

Holy Shit! It's not April Fool's Day. So, what the fuck could it be? An attack of some kind by some group of nutzos? Oh Shit!

Strap yerselves in and buckle down. This could be the beginning of a real big fucking problem.

Holy Shit! Oops. I said that. Holy Fuck! Lookout Peeps. We could be in fer it here!

Could be in fer what? Could be in fer a big fucking slam bam!

Apologies! I could be ringing the alarm bell fer nuttin'.

Then, again. It could be somethin'! Oh, yeah!!!

It is always a good idea to post a link to the actual news item, so that the rest of us can read it too.

let's invade vietnam to look for it

The Vietnamese are not the bad guys any more.
Something else must have caused the airliner to disappear.

You are correct, of course.

I suppose I didn't feel a need to do that since this story is on the front page of every newspaper and news site in the entire world.

I have a feeling this will continue to be the biggest story on every media site for at least a week and perhaps for longer than that.

If I had to make a guess at this time, I would guess the plane developed some kind of mechanical problem and crashed and it might take a few days before any trace is found.

What are the odds that it could have disappeared and no trace will ever be found? I would think that using today's technology, that would be extremely unlikely.

Is it even possible that it could have crashed into the ocean and sank and no trace will ever be found? Wouldn't the black boxes still emit a signal that could be found from the bottom of the ocean?

Map of the path of flight MH370 from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.

Thanks for that map Velvetfog. That is useful to see.

If it did indeed crash where indicated on that map, it should be very difficult to figure out what happened.

It is very surprising to me that nothing was found on the surface of the water. If it crashed intact, it prob would have disintegrated when it hit the water and there would be hundreds of objects that would remain floating on the surface. So that is one mystery.

I read another story that said the airplane did not send any kind of distress signal. So whatever happened either happened instantly or someone prevented the crew from sending out any message.

Here are some links to that story and others:

The Drudge Report (for those of you who may not know) is, IMHO, the best source of news concerning the USA. It is usually the first site I check whenever I log in.

Does anyone have any opinions about what may have happened?

the thing crashed into the sea due to mechanical failure,no conspiracy

[AliShibaz]

Well, things keeps on getting more and more mysterious.

Now, officials are saying the plane was deliberately flown off course and was either sabotaged or hijacked. But no one seems to know.

I think the answer is obvious. It was those aliens from outer space that beamed the whole plane up to their space ship so they could mess with all the passengers. Isn't it obvious?
