239 people presumed dead by plane crash from Malaysia

The news people released the final message from the pilot of the aircraft. He said "Roger that"

Looks like China may have found the crash site on the 9th.. and it's only taking till now for them to investigate.

Update from conference today along with other information provided.

There is still a chance the passengers are alive at this point.

Call me a cynic but I'm pretty convinced US intelligence knows exactly what happened to that jetliner. However, they have their own reasons for only cooperating with the search using civilian sources and what other countries' militaries are volunteering (I doubt anyone is fully revealing the extent of their coverage).

So I heard this was a media distraction to draw attention away from the situation in Ukraine. I don't think planes just go missing with 239 people on board.

Some of the speculation about this is rather disgusting.

You know this was an option to me ever since I heard the craft disappeared and they didn't find a single bit around the supposed crash area.

Not saying it's aliens, but we shouldn't rule out any (even the most ridiculous) option.

Also, it's rather suspicious how 'big' the involvement of the US organisations is and I highly suspect the intelligence agencies know more than they admit at this point.

Remember the US has used the guise of using their own military as a way to devise the public (to cover up) the real reason of why they are present in certain areas, they have done this multiple times in the past and I fear more often than we know already. (Again, not saying this option is fact).

My mother has some conspiracy nuts on facebook linking 8 of the Chinese passengers with a D.o.D. contract involving some type of new stealth technology. They all got patents on it which gave them 20% of the cut and the head honcho didn't like that so he had them killed off.

I honestly believe it was something as simple as a mechanical failure that resulted in an extreme change of pressure. I'm also in agreement with [MENTION=4093]SaptaZapta[/MENTION];, we have the NSA and satellite images of almost every square foot of the world, and it suddenly cuts off just as they were turning around? I feel like they should be, if not already investigating the area that these images clearly point too.

just a bit of info i know, do with it what you will.

the US has 24 satellites that are used to conform the GPS system, wether they have more for spying i don't know, but as far as my training goes, it's 24 satellites just for GPS, even if they were recording the surface of the world the chances they were looking at that very specific quadrant is very slim.

radars have a lot of faults, if a plane's transponder shuts off (or is shut off) they'll display on the radar as nothing more than a little dot, radars also have a maximum range and only apply over a certain height due to earth curvature/mountains/etc, so a plane flying low enough would not appear on the radar, and if it had the transponder off even if it appeared, it wouldn't be possible to define which plane it was. granted, i'm talking LOW here, as in 1200-/700-ft low at worst

so depending on how the GPS system works it is very possible that they weren't being recorded. but for that you'd need an expert in GPS satellite functions, assumming it didn't record their position and just gave it to them (and anyone else flying), or they turned it off (highly unlikely, since it's so massively useful for flying, although i don't know how flying over water works) it's very possible for them to have slipped away from radar and off into the sea unnoticed, or at least, without being distinguished as malasya flight XXX

that's a lot of satellites, whart they're up to though i don't know and i'm not one to wear a tinfoil hat often.

I don't know why I am taking the time to respond to this, but you don't really believe this do you? Anyone who seriously keeps up with current news is not going to be distracted from Ukraine by a missing plane. You know people's attention spans can follow more than one thing at once, right?

Announcing the shift to a criminal investigation, Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak said investigators now "can say with a high degree of certainty" that one or more of the 239 people on board the Boeing Co. BA +1.00% 777 jet deliberately turned off two aircraft signaling systems within 40 minutes after takeoff from Kuala Lumpur.
The plane made a sharp turn westward, away from its authorized route to Beijing, and from then on the flight path was "consistent with deliberate action by someone on the plane," Mr. Najib told a packed news conference.

Two objects located linked to MH370: Australian PM

Hopefully this is it.. and not just the media playing it up hard.

EDIT. Item looks to be 24 metres long.. planes are over the area now and more soon. ;(

Live blog. Been checking this for the last two weeks for information.

Fun fact: Im flying Malaysia Airlines to Japan in less than 34 hours.

Confirmed crash, no survivors.

Confirmed crash, no survivors.

Depressing, but expected at this point, unfortunately.
