Checking some objects in the water.

These have to be it. Hope they are since black boxes won't emit a signal after a few more days. These families deserve some sort of closure.

So the day before the fated flight, the pilot's wife took their 3 children and left him. The day of the flight, the pilot's favorite political leader was convicted of homosexuality which is a crime in Malaysia. The pilot had attending the criminal trial just hours before the flight.

My take is he shot his co-pilot, set the course to take the plane way out to sea and then shot himself. The plane flew for hours with a dead man at the stick until its fuel was depleted and it fell into the ocean. Well it sounds better than aliens anyway?

The 'Black Boxes' aka the FDR/CVR have a 30 day pinger life on them and are a mandatory inspection item on all aircraft under FAA jurisdiction. Source: Paperwork/Jobcards from work.

That said.. this is an SE Asian airline. It's been in the water since 2 hours after it took off. Sat data be damned. I'd say the pingers never activated, which would also count for the totally whacked out telemetry the systems were spitting out; you'd be shocked on how much they skimp on maintaining large aircraft. Lion Air, the 777 belly flop at SFO, Adam Air 574, SilkAir 185.. goes on and on.

I'm calling suicide by flight crew.

You think this is messed up?

Many of us have been keeping quiet here, glad someone is finally thinking out of the box from the domestic group here.

CNN particularly, and of course a couple of their competitors, with some Canadian stations following, are the only media outlets practically on the face of the whole planet literally, who are continually playing this missing airplane story, on a page 1 status, and the player set on "auto loop" with slight updated adjustments. Many of us who are privileged enough to understand multiple languages have noticed this.

What's up with that? (cigarette)

[f5journal]

Thanks Camaro Dude. Exactly my point. I does look like they have physically spotted something now. I know this because we have a TV in the lobby at work set on CNN hahah

Time will tell.

[menendez1293]

Well CNN is reporting that now it is likely the plane has crashed in the Indian Ocean according to the Malaysian Prime Minister

[Camaro Dude]

....and then we can move on to why it crashed (cigarette)

Let's remember our history and examples. Circa 1983 when Soviets shot down a Korean 747, and 4 years ago, when USA shot down an Iranian Airbus....

Don't be surprised by the end of the story on this one.

Just sayin'.

Thank you for correcting my serious typo.
July 3, 1988 to be precise.

Guys,

My mom always told me not to say anything unless you have something nice to say. But in this case I am going to break that rule. Please grow up and stop with the aliens or monkeys. Many innocent people have lost their lives, including American's. Show some heart and empathy. We are grown ups and are better than that.

Now before you slam me, please think about this. What if your mom, dad, child or anyone else you know were on that flight and you saw these jokes.
