What's your Flight 370 conspiracy theory?

**Miss.September** · March 21st, 2014, 11:13 AM

I think they've marked the area in the Indian Ocean because in that area it's about 5kms deep. A black box will send a ping signal but it can only be heard to a depth of 4.2 kms. It wasn't making sense to me why they were searching in strange areas but this now suggests that they're looking in the deeper parts of the ocean.

Miss S, one of the planes they're using to search is a US Poseidon, apparently it has some kind of sonar thing that means it can "spot" submarines. So they're not just looking at what's floating around on top of the water, if that makes sense.

Alright I am very academically interested in this, I fly monthly but I am terrified of flying....

I think the plane is on the ground. Sadly I believe all passengers are dead. There were a number of US airline engineers on that flight, allegedly by coincidence. Think they hit 45,000 feet to knockout the passengers, then headed for the andaman sea. Why did they turnoff all communications transmissions? Why didnt they contact Vietnamese air traffic control?

Any why did 5 people check in for the flight and never board? Their luggage was removed prior to take off. What did or do they know that we don't?

Someone knows something probably the NSA in the states....

Thirtimelucky, I'd imagine that there would be people not board flights all the time - extreme anxiety or stress at flying, unforseen circumstances, even being too drunk to board the flight. Or it could have been a passport/ticketing/customs issue too.

I have been following this since the beginning. At first it was because aviation news is my free pass with my father in law, he is a senior flight instructor, aviation fan and is everything aviation so a story like this gets me through an in laws date without having to resort to weather talk.
But now I am following because I want the families to have answers. They deserve that at the very least.
I believe that the authorities know way more than the media has reported.
I believe there is more evidence I what happened on board the flight before things went bad. I am dubious as to whether the ocean current has taken debris to where we are looking, and really our oceans are filled with that much rubbish, it could anything.
I don't have any idea where the plane is, but I believe that once the governments involved reveal the full extend of information they have in regards to this plane then a real search area will be established.
Fwiw, father in law believes it's at the bottom of the ocean just off china.

Beansbeansyou sound well informed so I'm agreeing with you in concept. I believe someone, knows mote than they are telling... Why is what I'd like to know?

If it is off the bottom of china - that would suggest an accident, a struggle or a pilot suicide? And my geography may be off - but does that fit with the reported turn? Xx

It's absolutely normal for people not to board flights, connecting flights are delayed, people hit traffic on the way to the airport.... I nearly missed a connection after 3 hours in an airport because I got bored and wandered to the other end then misjudged how long it would take to get back to my end of the terminal. Me and my family were rushed over the airbridge with about 3 minutes to spare before they would have taken off without us.

more developing news that the flight did crash into the southern Indian ocean. apparently relatives will be taken to the recovery area at some stage. My thoughts and prayers go out to all the families

**AnyDream** · March 25th, 2014, 07:49 AM

Announcement overnight by the Malaysian PM: they can now state definitively that Flight MH370 ended in the southern Indian Ocean & there are no survivors.

As far as I can tell, this comes after advanced data modeling was done on the satellite data. I'm not sure how they reached the conclusion that there were no survivors, except that they must have had a number of scenarios mapped out & this one fits a picture of the plane &/- pilots being incapacitated & therefore the plane flying until it ran out of fuel (presuming that the pilots would otherwise have initiated some kind of emergency landing).

**Rouge** · March 25th, 2014, 07:55 AM

They can't say definitively though. If you read all the other reports it's an assumption. Not based on fact. Simply based on no other evidence to suggest otherwise.

Those poor families

**Rouge** · March 25th, 2014, 08:02 AM

And yes I think Aluminium looks good on me too :P

**AnyDream** · March 25th, 2014, 09:13 AM

Exactly, Rouge. I was just paraphrasing what the PM said. It was probably the kindest thing to do in the face of mounting evidence, to not keep stringing the families along.

The type of modeling that was done was a similar process to the modeling that helped them find the Air France wreckage. It's not proven until it's proven, but the other theories have been disproven, if that makes sense.

**BlackCat** · March 25th, 2014, 09:48 AM

So sad

**Rouge** · March 25th, 2014, 09:51 AM

Oh please know I wasn't having a go. I read the same thing. I was just airing my grievances with the media.

**~clover~** · March 25th, 2014, 10:32 AM

I actually checked the flight map to see if there's any chance I'd have seen it if I'd been paying attention, since I'm southern WA.
But I'm inland a bit & from what I can see, it would've been off the coast. And probably far enough out that even coastal towns wouldn't have seen it.
It didn't even cross paths with any other plane... Fluke?

That's if that's even what happened.

**~clover~** · March 26th, 2014, 12:30 AM

So a pilot can depressurise the cabin him/herself?? Killing everyone on board in under an hour??

I'm a little unsettled after hearing that...

They sound so sure. Well they've all made up their minds that it is in the Indian Ocean. But they can't guarantee that can they? Not yet?

Not sure. Just my thoughts...

**Rouge** · March 26th, 2014, 06:49 AM

Yep. I like how Australia is saying they won't be stopping the hunt until they find something. There's rumours Malaysian airlines wants the search over as it's costing them a lot of money.

**~clover~** · March 26th, 2014, 11:37 AM

Well I hope Australia keeps pushing them. Though I'm not sure there is a person in the world who doesn't want definitive answers by now. None of it is sitting right with me. The whole 'that's where it would've run out of fuel, so that's where it is, we're done now'... Nup. That's not an answer.

I understand that it'll possibly take years to find the black boxes, if that's where they are, but they have no proof yet that the plane is even there! At least make sure it's there before you go giving answers you don't have?

Hopefully they've been able to start searching again today & they'll know at least something soon.
