Damn, that's incredible. Still, would take a flock of them to take down a plane. And this would have reported immediately back to Rolls...
Should also point out that apparently the transponders being off is not necessarily indicative of an intentional act meant to deceive air traffic...
35,000 ft? I'm no ornithologist, but seems a bit high for a bird.
When did the media blame Muslims? I haven't watched any TV coverage, but I haven't read ANYTHING about Muslims. Not even a mention. Not a mention...
This was discussed as a possibility in that pilot's forum thread. Something hit the cockpit, it became depressurized, and the pilots couldn't get...
Also, Andrew Wiggins, while Muslim is the generally accepted term, there is no official way to transliterate Arabic. Muslim is spelled...
You should check it out. It's a pilot's forum. A lot of interesting theories, and much more information. One very interesting thing.......
Ya, I think most people are on board with that theory. However, there is always the possibility that OTHERS were using fake passports, or that...
Definitely looks like the legs on the guy on the right are photo shopped (poorly I might add) onto the guy on the left. They're standing in the...

They don't or they can't? I had heard the primary radar that picked the plane up an hour later off the west coast of Thailand said it had...
Just read that Malaysia Airlines has confirmed the plane was equipped with ACARS, a system that would relay any mechanical failures in real time...
Another what if conspiracy scenario...what if some bozo really did accidentally shoot down the airplane and now the governments are trying to...
Someone suggested that scenario earlier. I suppose it's possible, but the first step when dealing with cabin pressure issues is to put on your...
I agree, it would be very difficult if not down right impossible to open a cockpit door, unless they forced it open when the pilot was using the...
Another possibility...hacked from within......
The Air France flight was in between South American and Africa. I don't know exactly how far, but far enough to where it was in Senegalese air...
