Off the record, after the last one went missing we were having lunch with a family, and the father was an attorney for airlines, one of his clients was Malaysian Airlines. He said he thinks he plane is hidden somewhere on some island under a tarp, that terrorists are going to stockpile airlines like this over a long period of time then launch them in another 9/11 attack. Just saying. (moving thread to DC now?)

So they are hiding airplane(maybe two now), so that means they have to alter the electronics once they put them back in the air so they don't show up, then they need to fly under radar across the ocean so they can crash them into buildings??

Let alone Asian airplanes, I know maintenance is pain in the ass on American airplanes. Imagine stockpiling these things for years and hoping they still fly. Probably will become a shitty syfy series..

Personally I think it is these two doing it.

Boston Globe:

The crew’s request for an unusual route is curious since the weather ‘‘didn’t seem to be anything unusual,’’ said William Waldock, an expert on air crash search and rescue with Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Prescott, Arizona.

Severe weather is the reason pilots usually request a different route, but in this case the ‘‘winds were light, there were a few thin clouds, but that’s about it,’’ he said in an interview.

Meet ISIS militants from Malaysia and Indonesia in Syria. Many militants have returned or suspected to have returned to Indonesia.

In August, ISIS militants, when they seized Tabqa airbase captured advanced MANPADS and missiles.

Governments have warned travel advisory to Indonesia that they have new information indicating terrorist threats.

We will never know ... Go about your business.

FYI: According to Saudi Arabia, the governments of Jordan and U.S. are working together behind the scene to ensure the return of the Jordanian pilot.

Could it be a dry run to test how airplanes would handle an undetectable' explosive?
