[breaking] Malaysian Airlines loses contact with Beijing-bound flight, 239 on board

Nope. It's disgusting the way it's been reported here. Now that Australia is involved in the search...of course...it's all about us now according to the media.


Just on the Australian PM...we get the politicians we deserve in Australia. All of our politicians are disgusting people who are only interested in keeping their own jobs. They talk in sound bites and are not accountable for their stuff ups. So our PM isn't alone by any means when it comes to his credibility.

I'd be shocked if the Aus PM would make an announcement without knowing they had found this plane. Considering our standing in the region I would suggest that the Aus Gov had tracked the plane, knew where it has flown the whole time, and chose the "right" time to step forward.

That they pulled out some satellite pictures of a random stretch of ocean in the middle of no where says it all.

I hope they have found the plane for the family's of all the people on board. This must be horrible for them.

 

The images that the Australians released were taken on Sunday.

So what they are looking for now, 4-5 days later, might have already drifted far away or worse, sunk below.

They better hope they find those pieces and it turns out to be the plane's or they will come out looking like total imbeciles.

 

Yeah, the images are old now. I've read that there's no chance major pieces of the plane would be floating still at this point. So all they are hoping for is that in that general area they pick up a beacon of some sort to indicate the plane is there.

 

Australian news sites simply trolling for hits. Disgusting

 

Sun is just starting to come up in that area. Hope we see some news by tonight. I don't know what CNN is going to do if this ever gets solved.

Also:

Member #17? Seriously? Were you a friend of Clutch or a dev on the site?

 

Processing sat images is always going to take time.

No excuse for this from a few days ago

(Hey, #213 ain't bad!)

 

Here's the movie plot...

1) Pay the co-pilot or pilot (or both) to hijack the plan.
2) Turn off all tracking.
3) Turn the plan toward Maldives.
4) Take the plane up to 40k feet, turn the mask drop on manual, depressurize the cabin (taking out all passengers and crew)
5) Land at Maldives.
6) Remove the flight recorder and all other recording devices.
7) Take the jewels!
8) Set the plane to take but leave the door open
9) After takeoff, pilot parachutes out
10) Plane crashes, bodies found but not the pilot(s), parts found but not the flight recorder. No one knows that it landed and it was a heist. The just assume malfunction or pilot suicide.
11) Meanwhile…back at the Riviera…

 

Back in my day we used to walk ten miles in the snow to post a reply!

 

I was a member of the original forum. Then Clutch opened this one up (An upgrade over the old one) and I just registered on it when it opened. It's that simple. :-D

 

Yes I too remember that. My internet was a lot slower so it took a couple of years as I sent the request in.

 

Clutchcity.net 5eva!

 

it was clutchcity.com but there was some controversy with another guy who owned the domain... then it became clutchcity.net, then clutchfans

 

I wonder how many people discovered the original clutchcity.com site like I did... when back in the infancy of the internet, you randomly checked out if websites existed by typing what you wanted, and adding .com at the end.

tl;dr - Pilots, seemingly in agreement with Chris Goodfellow's theory, explain how a plane on auto-pilot could stay aloft for 7ish hours, what might have caused the significant ascent and descent along the way, and also how its course of direction could deviate somewhat during that time.

 

That is the same way I found Jesus.

 

The black hole now.

 

The only reasonable explanation that I will accept at this point is alien abduction.

 

Hey, that's the guy from Mad Men.
