I have thought that from the beginning. plenty of places to land.

Except the pings they got when the batteries were dying indicate they have roughly the right area. I'm sure it's sitting in the Indian ocean. Will take a year to find it, but it will be very interesting to see what's on the blackboxes.

would it be possible to remove the blackbox and drop it in the ocean?

That's a long way to go to drop a black box, why bother if you had hidden the plane so well already?

It remains a complete and utter mystery to me. How on earth it managed to stray so far off course (if it is where they think it is) I find bewildering. It has even got the so called "aviation experts" stumped. I think most of the theories stated on here are possible.

also...I don't think it would be that easy to remove the black box, they make them secure for a reason

maybe they should make the transponder switch as secure as the blackbox. why is that even an option for the flight crew to be able to turn it off

Since the plane was already running on vapor when it reached that area it would have run out of fuel at about the same time as the black box was dropped. So not such a great tactic really. If anyone was going to drop the boxes it would have been best to do that when the pilot signed off to flight control.

Good point. Why would they ever want to switch it off?

I hear it is about the risks of electrical failures and pilots needing full control. I guess we can all relate to that

I guess that's something similar to "lag" then...lol...

hmmmm...lag switch?

Could be bhf. Could be the start of a whole new theory.
If you are right, the airliner will suddenly appear back on radar and on course any time now. And saying wattsup!!!..lol..

Ok folks, no sign of missing airliner, nothing ever washed up on any shore, nothing, absolutely nothing.

So now what is your thoughts?

I still wouldn't give up on the idea it made land..

Here's an Idea the government needed test dummies for drugs and whatever else. Could be true could not be who knows!!

Hoax possibly? Not really happened at all?

Government aliens

My thoughts are that we live in a world where shit just happens, which is filled with people who are capable of doing just about anything, and in a day and age where we've gotten used to seeing it all happen live in 1080p quality. I guess what I'm trying to say is that when something like this happens and somehow we missed it despite all of our technology and advancements, we tend to jump to the worst conclusions: "it must have been intentional, how else could something so large and loaded with safeguards get away without a trace?", and of course there are organizations out there that are capable of pulling it off. Yet things like boats and planes have been disappearing in the Bermuda Triangle for decades, and nobody ever suggested a sinister terror plot or attack was behind it - it just happens.
I know...this is a different scenario in a different place under different circumstances, I just try not to get caught up in the paranoia of our time.

Yet with all that said, nothing disappears without a trace these days, at least not an airliner....

Terrorists hijacked it and parked it under dense jungle. They know what they were doing and took that black box thing the sent the ping out and destroyed it. Maybe they plan to use it as a weapon.

Dixie I agree with you. I know there are some who will laugh at this (actually it ain't funny) but I believe it's a future weapon. The bad people of this world have a free reign now because of our weak leadership.

Everyone knows that cushions float, seats float, suitcases float and plastic floats so something would have washed ashore.

Given that, nothing would surprise me.

it could have gotten an airial refueling out over the wothern indian ocean, while doing so it dropped the black box, and flew to an uncharted island in the south indian ocean, and landed there

What if they landed somewhere real private, re-fuled, transferred the black boxes, transponders, pingers, onto another plane to be dumped into the southern ocean, and then flew on to it's final destination unknown!...

Wasn't it strange how the so called pings from the black box were first picked up from a Chinese ship thousands of kilometers from where everyone else was looking. Then all the search ships moved to that area and started picking up pings. Now they say they didn't come from the plane. Me thinks th chinese Are feeding us something to hide their mistake of shooting it down.

Well HEFF, that certainly is also a viable senirio however nothing was ever found floating or washed up. Possible the Chinese could have stolen the plane though. Good post, thanks all for your thoughts.

Well I posted a humorous picture yesterday and then set and thought about it. As much as I hate to say it I believe its LAG. Give it time and it will reappear, seem to travel at the speed of light, travel to its distination and land just fine.

or the UFO will release it

I know huh, there's so many scandals in this corrupt administration that all they can do is blame others and destroy records. No wonder they can't find the plane. I really doubt that they even put much of an effort into located it.

Now if it had landed on a golf course hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

missing plane, not one single piece of debris...

LANGOLIERS got 'em...
