CatRWall Deplorable CatRWall User ID: 52395565 United States 03/17/2014 09:35 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to mobile.nytimes.com] Quoting: Uncle Fuck Stick The first turn to the west that diverted the missing Malaysia Airlines plane from its planned flight path from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing was carried out through a computer system that was most likely programmed by someone in the plane’s cockpit who was knowledgeable about airplane systems, according to senior American officials. Instead of manually operating the plane’s controls, whoever altered Flight 370’s path typed seven or eight keystrokes into a computer on a knee-high pedestal between the captain and the first officer, according to officials. The Flight Management System, as the computer is known, directs the plane from point to point specified in the flight plan submitted before each flight. It is not clear whether the plane’s path was reprogrammed before or after it took off. The fact that the turn away from Beijing was programmed into the computer has reinforced the belief of investigators — first voiced by Malaysian officials — that the plane was deliberately diverted and that foul play was involved. It has also increased their focus on the plane’s captain and first officer. Prime Minister Najib Razak of Malaysia told reporters on Saturday that his government believed that the plane had been diverted, because its transponder and other communications devices had Mo in lunky That's been known for at least 4 days. Before you go wild ... consider this: Co-pilot with this propensity for fondling nordic beauties in teh cockpit, accidentally enters '270' instead of '027'. That went into the computer and caused a huge turn to the west. Secondarily, a cargo of lithium ion batteries catches fire and takes out the ACARS and the transponder before pilot & copilot are aware of it. Finally, pilots -- in a desperate bid to put out the fire -- take the plane up to 45,000 feet where the oxygen is thin and the air is cold. Somewhere around this time the computer executes the 270-degree turn but the pilots have bigger fish to fry (the fire) and don't correct it. DEBUNK THIS |

Partly Cloudy User ID: 50376925 United States 03/17/2014 09:48 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This is a very plausible scenario. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 55614808 The only prob with it is: WHERE IS THE PLANE NOW? If it ditched in the ocean, pieces of it would have been found by now. Being fitted with weapons? Has the US Navy had time to start dumping plane parts in the ocean yet? I am sure they have people on overtime painting parts to dump in the ocean. |

DEBUNK THIS This doesn't explain why the first transponder was turned off, or why no comms with Air Traffic Control. |
