Cannot understand why this has not been mentioned on here? There was a time when the oatcake had its fingers on the pulse, if anything happened anywhere in the world it would be on here in a matter of hours? Sadly nowdays the oatcake is too occupied with infighting or petty (non)stories such as "the sun is going to name a gay england player" whooppie fookin doo. rant over. I am extremely troubled by the events of the doomed flight, could it have been machanical? Doubtfull the 777 has a very good safety record.bomb.? Possible but how on earth have they got a bomb on board with todays security checks? Are the security checks at kuala lumpa as stringent as we expect them to be? Or have the terrorists found a way of attacking a plane at 35,000 feet from the outside? Extremely doubtfull as surely something would show up on the radar. There are many unanswered questions, where is the blackbox? Surely it has a tracking device? how did two people manage to get on the plane with stolen passports? why did 5 people check in at the airport then decide not to fly? this will affect everyone whogets on a plane, as surely security will be beefed up at all airports worlwide. R.I.P to those innocents that losr their lives.

The black box sends out a signal for up to 30 days which can be detected within a radius of 10KM on land. Underwater it is a much weaker signal and they really need to be virtually on top of it. As far as the 2 stolen passports, apparently nicked here in Thai, I think that is just a coincidence, if they were terrorists why run the risk of getting stopped with dodgy papers. I think it was a catastrophic mechanical failure that shut down all systems, if it had been a bomb then I am pretty sure that the explosion would have been seen with the enormous amount of shipping that uses the South China Sea, and there are indications that it did attempt to turn back towards KL...

I agree with your sentiments , but perhaps it is too early to jump to too many conclusions. There are many troubling rumours circulating around at the moment which need clarification. It may take many months or even years before the real truth emerges. In the meantime one has to hope that every effort is made to maintain flight safety worldwide so that further incidents are prevented.
A terrible and tragic accident for all the families involved.

The two on dodgy passports had onward flights booked too. TEST

People always jump to the terrorist conclusion - it's silly. Until the black box is found no one can say anything. And in many cases an answer is never found.

Its certainly got a lot of the 'Air France 447' about it. So it was either a sudden catastrophe (bomb or some sort of breakup) or one that the pilots didnt know was happening until it was too late.

Followed it quite closely here. My best guess at the moment is some kind of event that prevented them communicating and it hit the water in one piece, hence lack of debris field.
If it had broken up in mid air (mechanical failure, bomb etc) there are a number of emergency beacons onboard that would have activated and be floating around. If they had just lost control etc. like AF447 they/the aircraft would have been able to communicate on the way down.

Is it possible that it could of been hijacked and not crashed at all?
The transponders stopped sending information height/ speed/ course etc, this is something in common with 9/11, the terrorists turned the transponders off to make it difficult to track them.

The whole point of "terrorism" is claiming responsibility. It's a bit pointless otherwise. Possibly a shit, cost-cutting repair job on a previous accident the plane had.

These stolen passports are also a mystery as to why they weren't detected by scanning at the airport control. It has also emerged that the travel agents who booked the flights for the holders of the stolen passports actually chose the flights for them in order to give them the cheapest flight to get to Europe which was their destination. Hardly the act of hijackers or terrorists IMO.

Just to add to the mystery, I have a flight tracking App on my IPad. As soon as it was reported missing on world news I typed in the flight number MH370 into flight scanner. This revealed an aircraft flown by Malaysian Airlines still airborne with Bejing as it's destination. It could be explained by another Malaysian Airlines aircraft having taken off on the same route later in the day. The route usually dictates the flight number not the aircraft flying it. It may also indicate something more sinister.

This time though both were deadly silent.
