Malaysia Airlines 777 Disappears: 239 on board. - Page 124 - Other Topics Forum - Discuss Pop Culture, Arts and Entertainment

Apparently there is evidence on MH370 that can't be made public. My heart goes out to the family members.

Wow.

Also the news that the search area has changed again is incredible. And it's based on the radar data from Malaysia? That doesn't make any sense. I thought the satellite analysis had determined where it likely crashed...

There is every reason to believe the Malaysians either have no idea what they are doing or are trying to cover something up, which is going to be hard when the world is watching.

Malaysia is coordinating the search effort because it is their plane ,they request help from various countries and companies and then pass on the details to whoever they need assistance from.This is totally standard.

Given that you stated that the Radar information came from Malaysia despite the article you quoted saying the information originated in the UK I believed you were.

It's basically confirmed aliens now that they are unwilling to reveal what happened.

That "I'm not saying it was aliens but it was aliens" pic posted way in the beginning was kinda funny. Everything else referring to aliens wasn't in the slightest.

Sometimes conspiracy theories can be funny though for their pure ******edness:

Quote:

It could have been an accident. There could have been a small short lived fire that knocked out one of the transponders and damaged the other one enough that it eventually failed. Although this fire was extinguished, it could have also ruptured the canisters that house the chemicals for the chemtrails. Because of the fire the pilot most likely would have set a course to turn around and land at the nearest airport to assess the damage, but he didn't know that the chemtrial containers were ruptured and was overcome by the chemicals before he could fully enter in the new flight plan into the flight computer causing the plane to fly off until it crashed. When they are diluted into the atmosphere those chemitrail chemicals will leave people susceptible to a suggestive state, but they aren't deadly. However in an undiluted form and in an enclosed space those things will cause unconsciousness and death in a matter of minutes.

And this is why the Malaysian government is sealing evidence.

This is actually an apt analogy.

Some people believe the passengers are alive somewhere. Some believe they are dead.

We will not know which until we observe the result, so our observation will determine which it i.

I'm a bit puzzled why the search areas could change this dramatically. wouldn't the satellites have the exact coordinates of the objects in the pictures they took? are they just not looking for those things anymore?

The debris isn't all that reliable since there's tons of **** in the oceans, it moves pretty fast and some-what unpredictably, and there's a long lag time between when the satellite picture was taken to when they can get something in the area to actually check it out.

The location derived from the ping data is probably the best way of figuring out where they should be searching now - so when they got the 'new information' about plane speed it makes sense that things shift to respond to that information.

I've wondered if marine biology or ecology could be used in these situations, like these scientists who tag sharks with gps recorders - they could notice multiple sharks converging to a specific area in the ocean. Or if certain fish would somehow avoid the area of the crash because of the oil or gas.

Probably still hard to do since a plane going into a giant ocean is not a significant event, but a lot of fish know exactly where the plane is.
