Emirates CEO Questions Facts Around Malaysia Flight 370
Sir Tim Clark, president of Emirates Airline, spoke about the mystery of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 and his doubts about the facts of the aircraft’s disappearance. (airwaysnews.com) More...Yes, there is a big sky out there. yes, there is a huge ocean area within the arc of the 777's possible range. But, not to have discovered any identifiable piece of this aircraft I find more than confusing. Can we say with any degree of certainty that because we have found no debris, therefore the plane is not in the water? The alternative says that the aircraft has landed somewhere, the plane is intact, and the passengers are alive and very tired of somebody's catered food. Intuition does not satisfy any search for answers.,
If the plane isn't in the ocean then it must be on land, but most likely not intact or it would have been found by now. Look how long it took to find Steve Fossett's plane in Nevada. If the crash site is in thick tropical forest, it will be even harder.
I believe NSA knows where it is, But cant say without revealing how it knows.
Some secret squirrel 007 stuff happened. What was the mysterious cargo that was in the hold that the manifest they wouldn't reveal and someone didn't want it to get to China or Russia? Without one iota of evidence of a crash anywhere, the pax where asphyxiated and that plane landed somewhere in one piece. I'm going to go out on a limb here and also going to speculate that MH17 was shot down in retribution for MH370 getting "rerouted".inflight
ATPL airline pilot, 13,000+ flying hours:
I've been saying the same thing myself from about a month after the disappearance. What stands out here is what is NOT standing out - where is the debris? ANY of it? Just ONE possible piece, maybe? But not even ONE ID card, handbag, shoe, not a single personal effect whatsoever from over 200 people has turned up. It is easy to knee-jerk about things you can see and feel, it takes a modicum of intelligence to recognise there is something vital missing. There would be a breakup if they had landed it on water... if it dropped from altitude after running out of fuel while on autopilot, multiply that debris by thousands. I trust the Inmarsat location pings, I do not trust the never-before-tried "interpolation" of Doppler Effect on a DIGITAL signal twice (or thrice) relayed by other satellites to get to its destination in the UK. I say follow the pings NORTH, over China and into Russia - the northern arc crosses a Chinese desert (Taklimakan) and ends at Tashkent in Kazakhstan.
