[quote:Anonymous Coward 55173769:MV8yNTA1ODg3XzQzMjc1MjU3X0QwNDBCNDYz] [quote:Anonymous Coward 54491910:MV8yNTA1ODg3XzQzMjc1MjM3Xzg2MUExM0U1] Can anyone explain why it is even possible for the transponders to be shut off during flight. Or even the fact that pilots have the ability to do so. What purpose does this serve? [/quote] Your question was answered several posts ago, look up for Captain America. [/quote]

1. Aircrew was involved.
2. 40 minutes into the flight, the aircraft was handed off from Kuala Lumpur Control center to Ho Chi Minh control, never made contact with Ho Chi Minh.
3. At that same time, the transponders and all signals from the aircraft that could be disabled were turned off and the aircraft vanished. Theory is that it descended to avoid radar coverage and turned West.
4. Had at least 7 hours of fuel remaining at that point.
5. 1 hour later there was likely primary radar contact WEST of Malaysia over the Malacca straits. This was likely due to the aircraft climbing back up to cruise altitude, thinking it was out of radar contact area.
6. NO debris has been found after 6 days and wide area search.
7. It's gone folks - my bet is on Iran Konarak airfield, 2 miles long and first Iranian airstrip on the coast, if indeed it had enough fuel to get there.
