I see pilot (the captain) suicide a little differently. Zaharie was a supporter of the PKR, who's leader (Ibrahim) was done on a charge of sodomy on the Friday. That charge is known in Malaysia as dodgy and orchestrated by the govt. The PKR want political reform in Malaysia which will never happen with the current/only govt. independent Malaysia has ever had.

Obviously crashing the plane in a suicide bid is essentially an open/cut case meaning comparitively very little spotlight is shone on Malaysia's incompetence. Crashing it in a hard place to reach/search will and has brought the world down on Malaysia and shown it up. Also, it may never be conclusively established as a suicide, therefore his family doesn't lose the all important 'face' and insurance will have to pay up.

Not to mention, putting eveyone to sleep and ultimately himself is a much nicer way to go vs pointing the nose to the ground and charging into it.

This is just a theory based on what I know of Malaysia and the facts that have surfaced of course.

I think the main sentence in that story is... "amid fresh rumour it may have landed"

Here's my theory,

It was taken by remote control, climbed to 45k to incapacitate everyone on board, then flown to Diego Garcia, under the cover of darkness.

Repainted/wrapped/whatever they can do quicker, fitted with new transponders and flown on to some mystery destination.

People discount Diego Garcia because it's open and probably watched by most of the worlds military satellites, and the residents would have to be in on it.

-it's a massive Air Force base, jets coming and going, even at night, are a normal occurrence.
-every one knows satellites and their routes, plus who knows what anti-sat tech the yanks have these days.


Motive?

Who knows, rumours range from the 20 electronic warfare employees, to stolen Russian nuclear weaponry, to Rothschilds and their patent shenanigans...


Also, ever heard the term 'extraordinary rendition'?
Google it, and see how it relates to Diego Garcia....


Yes, I know my theory is vague at best, and full of holes...

But as yet, there is still not one single piece of physical evidence to suggest it's anywhere near the Indian Ocean. Or toowoomba,


But the single biggest indicator that it's not in the Indian Ocean?

This quote from the prime minister

The Prime Minister said he had “no advice whatsoever” to suggest there is any truth in claims the plane may have landed somewhere.

Seriously, Diego Garcia? Flights are not 24/7 and due to limited paring space, every flight is controlled as much as Heathrow or JFK. Even the CIA didn;t risk running black flights with terrorists to Gitmo through there due to potential for "leaks" by general ops personnel. Time people looked at anaother island or country. I would say one of the disused WW2 Japanese or Allied bomber strips in the Andamans or maybe a former soviet base in Khazikstan or a remote Pakistani airfield.

Pakistan could use it as a flying bomb into one of India's nuclear facilities and be able ot deny any knowledge and blame it on a terrorist group.

Three pieces of debris washed up on a West Australian beach are being examined to determine if they are plane wreckage from MH370.

Nine News Perth reports three objects, one the length of a car with "distinct rivets", washed ashore 10km east of Augusta, about 320km south of Perth.

The debris was found by someone who was walking on the beach a few days ago and who notified police yesterday.

Local police in Busselton have since secured the debris and notified the Joint Agency Coordination Centre and the Australian Transport Safety Bureau.

The bureau was studying photographs of the material and had also passed on the images to the Malaysian investigation team.

PerthNow reports that the coast along the Hardy Inlet, where the discovery was made, is isolated and unreachable on foot, but is popular with four-wheel-drivers and trailbike riders.

Augusta Sea Rescue commander Paul Higginson said his volunteers would begin a sea search tomorrow if requested by WA Police.

But WA police have warned against jumping to conclusions, saying items of interest had been previously reported after washing up on a WA beach and had turned out to be unrelated to the missing Malaysia Airlines flight.

ATSB chief commissioner Martin Dolan also played down the find, which he said appeared to be sheet metal.

"It's sufficiently interesting for us to take a look at the photographs," Mr Dolan told CNN.

"The more we look at it, the less excited we get."

The search for the plane continues in a vast area of the Indian Ocean northwest of Perth and authorities have previously said it's more likely the prevailing currents would take debris west toward Africa rather than east to the Australian coast.

Prime Minister Tony Abbott said yesterday the search would continue while there was a reasonable hope of finding something.

"Australia will not rest until we have done everything we humanly can to get to the bottom of this mystery," he told reporters.

The Boeing 777 went missing on March 8 with 239 people on board.

I know I was saying it in a light hearten way, but it still had meaning to it. I still don't think it would be wreckage from the plane as they are saying sheet metal. Now if that was from the plane that means the plane's in pieces, so you'd think there would be a whole lot more debris around.

Depends on who you ask and what you believe.

There are talks about lawsuits against Malaysian Airlines and now Boeing but I can't understand what case you can build without knowing where the plane is let alone what caused it.

Australian head of the search effort, Angus Houston, said: ''We haven't found anything anywhere that has any connection to MH370.''

THE SEARCH SO FAR



52 days, with Australia co-ordinating the search for 41 days
More than four-and-a-half million square kilometres of ocean searched.
334 search flights conducted at an average of eight a day, for a total of more than 3000 hours.
Involving 10 civil aircraft with 19 military aircraft from Australia, New Zealand, China, Japan, South Korea and Malaysia.
14 ships from Australia, China and the UK.
The Blue-fin 21 drone has conducted an underwater search of over 400 square kilometres.
Can you imagine how stupid some will look if they turn around now and find it somewhere else...

I notice that nearby Blackwater is going to be graced by the presence of Charmaine Wilson..."The One"...who won that stupid show on TV about finding "Australias best psychic". Which is kind of like finding "Australias best unicorn"...neither exist...

Maybe someone in the audience could ask her where the missing plane is...?

Went to her Facebook page, and politely asked if she might know where the Malaysian Airlines plane is.
She quickly replied "I am not that type of medium - sorry to disappoint but I have never claimed to do that type of thing".
I'm sorry? You're not "that type of medium"? The horrible premature deaths of 239 people,whose spirits I would presume are all desperate to contact their families about what happened to them, are not in your line of work? Just bullshit about whether grandma is happy in the afterlife or that you might find love in the coming year?

If you're going to do your simple cold-reading crap that anyone can learn to do (and with a bit of showmanship thrown in, fool a lot of people), at least call yourself a magician and be done with it. You'll still be able to do your lucrative shows, but you won;t be preying on the emotions of desperate bereaved people..

In the last week we have learnt (from satellite imagery) that North Korea appear to be planning a nuke test, and there is a large iceberg floating around the ocean.
NASA also have a low earth orbiter that is coming up on 300 days of service, yet there is no imagery of the missing plane????????

The Bermuda Triangle has obviously moved location and is now eating planes in an unknown area.

Tin foil hat wearing friends of mine are convinced it's landed on some island controlled by the US military.

Other tin foil hat wearing friends think that it's been hijacked and those shopped photos of a low flying plane over jungle are teh reals.

Yes, too many people think the open ocean is just like you see looking out from the beach on a calm day.

In fact when you're standing on the deck or on the bridge of even a quite large ship in deep open oceans, it can often be a case of water-sky-water-sky-vomit-water-sky-roll-roll the other way-roll-pitch-water-sky-vomit again-water...and so on ad-infinitum...

Very rare it's glass smooth out there.

Satellites are very good when they are specifically looking for something.

They do not monitor every square inch of the earth permanently. At a guess there might be 3,000 planes in the sky right now. The chances of any of them being photographed are a lottery.
