HA! That's freakin' great! Wonder how long it will take to get a reply to my inquiry. . .
Damn, bout broke my phone.
Sounds like hijacker or passenger was at the controls. Could this story get stranger or more frightening?
At 45000 ft depressurize the cabin and everyone on the plane dies. Then down to lower altitudes headed west towards the Andaman islands then north straight into Myanmar.
Would the cockpit stay pressurized during that??? Or is this a thunderball type situation?
A couple of interesting developments; they apparently got a ping from a communications satellite over the Indian Ocean at 0811, about 7 and a half hours after "losing" it from radar.
So they have a range from the satellite though no bearing.
The transponder was switched off just after checking out with Malaysian Air Control, they would have next checked in with Vietnam but that did not happen.
Interestingly, this occurred in a location where flight paths, north-south and east-west cross.
These actions are coordinated and complex enough so the average passenger would not be able to accomplish them.
It's certainly somewhere not flying.
Wonder where though.
I don't know it's just speculation.
Someone is withholding information. The story keeps changing on when they had last contact. Can't believe someone's military did not track it.
They are saying on CNN right now that the transponders were deactivated before the someone in the cockpit answered "Alright, goodnight." This has led to speculation that the commandeering of 370 began almost from takeoff.
