    I can't help but feel that it's been hijacked and taken somewhere to be used at a later date for another 9/11 style ramming attack :(

    I'm watching 'I was there: The Great War". I went on a battlefield study last week to the Somme, very somber.

    Something very strange going on. Surely if it had gone down they'd have found it by now. I reckon it's parked up somewhere.

    it's either at the bottom of the ocean, remember the hudson river landing? nothing broke on that, so it's either just sunk somewhere, or like others say, parked up somewhere.
    What I do find fun is that there are messages being shot out in the world say that after radar contact was lost engines were on for 4 hours, military radars picked it up, but if they have this evidence, why can't they say where the military radar picked it up, or how to RR know the engines where on for another 4 hrs?? something a bit fishy going on here I say ;)

    and how on earth is it possible to turn a black box off or even all the communication devices manually? surely this shouldn't be the case.

    I understand that the worlds major aircraft engine makers, are able to moniter the performance of any engine fitted. BBC new just reported that Malaysian authorities now investigating 'passenger involvement'

    The US Airways Hudson river incident, was a much smaller aircraft (a320 and what a fantastic bit of flying by the crew that was) and was not flying at 35,000 ft as this triple 7 was.

    I believe I saw something on the tele a few months ago of a Boeing command and control center tracking every Dreamliner in real time all of the time but I doubt they (can) do that for the 'older' models.

    All electrical devices on aircraft can be manually switched off, this is possible because of the risk of fire and includes the Black Box.....

    Loving the fact that a thread about a plane that can't be found is going strong in the For Sale section :D
    Surreal :D
