Malaysia Airlines loses contact with plane carrying 239 people
Malaysia Airlines says it has lost contact with a plane with 239 aboard enroute from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
The airline said in a statement early Saturday it was attempting to locate the Boeing 777 after it lost contact with Subang Air Traffic Control at 2:40 a.m. It was scheduled to land in Beijing at 6:30 a.m. China's state-run news agency Xinhua reported the plane was lost in airspace controlled by Vietnam, and did not make contact with Chinese air traffic controllers. The plane is carrying 227 passengers, including two infants, and 12 crew members. The airline said it is working with authorities to locate the plane. Boeing said on its Twitter account it is monitoring the situation, and "our thoughts are with everyone on board." http://www.foxnews.com/world/2014/03...ing-23-people/ Malaysian jet probe sharpens focus on passengers, crew as new clues emerge http://www.foxnews.com/world/2014/03...-indian-ocean/ Last edited by ShowtimeSBMVP; 03-15-2014 at 09:02 AM.. |

When in the time line was the spike to 45K in order to kill the passengers. Assuming this even happened.

HOLY shit they took it to 45,000 ft?
Those pilots would have to have been the best of the best 777 pilots, taking a plane like that higher than its service ceiling. I would of been all they could of handled just to keep it flying at that point. |

Is there any reason why they shouldn't make it impossible for ANYONE to turn of the transponder?

It is still beyond Bob Dole's comprehension that in this day and age, we are still looking for a black box, instead of collecting that data off-vehicle in real-time.
