<p>Romani, I was just going to ask the same thing. </p>

122

<p>Here is latest report I could find. Did the possible hijack report come from the WSJ? I didn’t read it but the Maylasian gov’t dismisses the info in the WSJ. </p>

<p><a href=“http://www.cnn.com/2014/03/13/world/asia/malaysia-airlines-plane/”>Search for missing Malaysia Airlines plane expands to Indian Ocean - CNN;

<p>Here is WSJ report for anyone who wants to read it. </p>

<p><a href=“http://online.wsj.com/news/article_email/SB10001424052702304914904579434653903086282-lMyQjAxMTA0MDEwMzExNDMyWj”>http://online.wsj.com/news/article_email/SB10001424052702304914904579434653903086282-lMyQjAxMTA0MDEwMzExNDMyWj&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>It’ll be like finding a needle in a haystack given that tremendous amount of territory. I heard someone mention it going towards Pakistan, but that circle doesn’t reach that far. </p>

<p>Sadly I imagine all those passengers are dead, either in a crash or executed. If it was hijacked I’m guessing someone knows and people will start talking.</p>

124

<p>They are saying it was way off course and could be somewhere in the Indian Ocean.</p>

125

<p>Flossy, who is “they”? </p>

126

<p>I like this article. </p>

<p>They is some news report that’s on in the background here. Best I can tell it’s really still just a mystery. No-one knows.</p>

128

<p>I heard on the radio that US Navy ships were going to be searching in the Indian Ocean for debris.</p>

<p>So how much does this all cost?</p>

130

<p>One gathers than the transponders would have had to be deliberately disabled, which lets out hypoxia–unless it happened accidentally afterwards. It certainly implies that at least one pilot was flying under duress, or that at least one pilot was in on the plan, or that 9/11-style, both pilots were overwhelmed by attackers and replaced by them. Since a pilot said that it would only take 5 seconds or less to get out some kind of a distress call, it happened extremely quickly unless both pilots were in on it. </p>

131

<p>Aside from acquiring the plane for another use, here’s another reason why the plane was possibly hijacked</p>

<p>

<a href=“Malaysia Airlines Plane MH370 Latest Conspiracy Theory: Who were Freescale Semiconductor Experts on Board? | IBTimes UK”>http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/malaysia-airlines-plane-mh370-latest-conspiracy-theory-were-freescale-semiconductor-top-employees-1440097&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

132

<p>Consolation, I read a comment in the NYT which speculated that the transponder could have been located near where a structural event causing decompression occurred and was damaged. He speculated that the pilots could have attempted to turn the plane around before they lost consciousness before they completed the turn. The plane could have kept flying on autopilot until it lost altitude and finally crashed somewhere between Indonesia and Thailand. Sounds like a plausible scenario to me than a hijack. </p>

<p>Apparently Rolls Royce/Boeing reports directly to the US and officials now believe the plane crashed in the Indian Ocean, but it will take 24 hours for a US sub or ship get to the area.</p>

134

<p>What happens to the passengers during those perhaps hours of flying in the wrong direction? Wouldn’t someone make a phone call? Or notice? Or something?</p>

135

<p>Like that golfers private jet a few years ago. Something happened so that the pilot and all the passengers lost consciousness and died, some decompressive event. But the plane kept going until it crashed in the Dakotas.</p>

136

<p>^ Yeah, I think that was Payne Stewart’s plane. </p>

137

<p>If they dropped altitude or oxygen couldn’t they all just pass out and die quickly? How long can a plane fly without anyone “manning” the controls. But it doesn’t really explain the transponder not working.</p>

138

<p>Planes can fly without anyone “manning” the controls until they crash or run out of fuel. They usually need a pilot to land, though. </p>

139

<p>Eyemamon, it does if the transponder was damaged by the same event that caused the decompression. It certainly seems to make more sense to me than a lot of the other scenarios I’ve read about. </p>

140

<p>Plane continued to fly for about 4 hours; indication that communications systems were shut down at different times.

per US government sources</p>

<p>Looking more like a hijacking, imo.</p>
