Missing from radar screen - One Boeing 777

You've heard of it then!
They shot lunar activity there, prior to Kennedy's speech.

Yes, fascinating isn't it!

It was.
Blame @Mad Doug Biker, for bringing this up.

Why has the US government just piped up, still unconfirmed by Sky news yet though.

They have just said they believe the plane and its passengers are being held against their will, no country has been mentioned but it just seems strange for them to say this, and for the search teams to not be able to find any piece of debris from an aircraft, is someone holding back information?
Why were two Iranians travelling to Germany on a Malaysia airlines jet via China.?

Strange for the US to say this now.

This has just been said on Sky news this morning.

It's not on their website

And as to the Iranians they were just taking a cheap flight to Europe in the hopes of getting asylum. Apparently they tried to book another airline originally but this ticket, booked through South China Airlines, was far cheaper. Simple. Just another human tragedy among the 239 stories of tragedy aboard the flight.

It is on the BBC news now.

Engine data is now out and the US say it flew on for 4 hours after it supposedly disappeared.

Edit........ITN news have said this not BBC

Flying for four hours after last known contact is one thing - claiming people are alive and held hostage is something else.

And now they are saying, the debris they found on SUNDAY could be aircraft debris..........does anyone on the search actually know what they are doing

 

[hoopdriver]

It doesn't inspire a lot of confidence does it?

I see where Malaysian Airlines has 'retired' the old flight code MH370 out of 'respect' for the passengers and crew on the ill-fated flight. Like anyone would ever fly on that flight number again anyway....

... debris they found on SUNDAY could be aircraft debris..........

If you're going to latch on to every 'could be', 'might be' or other spurious or unconfirmed speculation, you're going to have a headache.

[Dangermouse]

Already got one with all the speculation in the news today, theres even speculation that it was shot down.........TV is now off the news channel and paracetamol deployed

Do people still travel on the '30' bus route in London?

[Smurfy]

If someone deliberately switched off the aircraft transponder, presumably they weren't aware that the Rolls Royce engine data transmitter would continue chattering away to its makers. If true, then another 4-5 hours of engine usage after disappearance is really quite extraordinary.

Did the 30 bus route ever attract this level of international attention and notoriety?
