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.. |

I am definitely going with the pilot as the culprit. He had all the experience to know how to turn everything off and make this plane disappear.

"I have no idea what the bandwidth requirements would be for the data and voice recorders"
Call Manager is Cisco's Voice product. People like to hate cisco like they hate Apple and Microsoft. Basically Cisco is the 800lb gorilla in the networking work, and branching out, so it's easy to hate on them. No matter what widget Cisco has, some one-widget-wonder has a widget that's "better". It may be the only widget they make, it may not work with anything else in the room (not much beyond a link light), but they think it's better and love to hate on Cisco. And it's all great press for Cisco as everybody does everything they can to be better than Cisco. Yawn.... |

My guess is we'll figure this out eventually, but the fact that there's even a remote possibility that this will become the greatest aviation mystery of all time is almost exhilarating (with all due respect to the fact that this involves the likely deaths of a couple hundred people). |

They just simply can, they have the ability to reduce the air pressure in the cabin. I've seen a lot of stories from reputable media confirming this.

I think we need to embrace the possibility that this is probably either an alien abduction or some space-time continuum rupture.
20 years from now, this plane will probably land in Beijing in perfect condition with a bunch of passengers and crew that haven't aged a day and don't even realize they've been missing.

I'm unfamiliar with that brand of nipples, but I wouldn't be surprised if they're involved in some way.
