News Malaysia Airlines loses contact with plane carrying 239 people - Page 84

ShowtimeSBMVP · 09:02 AM

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."

Maybe he had a lot of discipline and wasn't playing games in his jail cell.

Surely he turned it off before he stuck it up his ass.

I barely use mine and it has to be charged every five days (in the red).

But - yeah. Why wait 10 days and then post on some backwater forum?

Some things make you go hmmm even if you don't want to believe them.

"hmmm" isn't exactly what I'm thinking, but rather, "oh christ, not this bullshit".

Hey, just because you don't want to believe it...

Nope.

GPS devices determine their location based on the signal they receive from the GPS satellite. They don't broadcast anything.

That's certainly what I do each time I stick my iPhone up my ass. But he said he was drugged and not thinking clearly.

Im having problem believing super sleuth double naught spy spooks for the US government would go to all this trouble and not check him for his cell phone.

We've already established the fact that it was in his ass...

How many iPhones have you found in other people's asses, Sherlock?

**Rain Man** · 04-03-2014, 08:53 AM

If I'm ever kidnapped and get access to the Internet, I'll post the following message on this board, and it means, "Go get help".

If I was ever to take a trip to [LOCATION], the Chiefs player I would most like to travel with is [PLAYER NAME].

[LOCATION] will correspond to the state or country that is two to the west of the place I'm being held hostage. If I don't know the location, I'll use the term "Martha's Vinyard".

[PLAYER NAME] will correspond to a 10x10 grid in the state or country, where 1 is the northwest corner, 10 is the northeast corner, 91 is the southwest corner, and 100 is the southeast corner. If I don't know the location, I'll use a coach's name.

So if I post something like this:

If I was ever to take a trip to Texas, the Chiefs player I would most like to travel with is Derrick Johnson.

it means that I'm being hold hostage in Mississippi, and I'm somewhere in the middle of the state, very slightly south of the middle. In that case, you would send the FBI to somewhere around Carthage, Mississippi.

Got it?
