MH 370: Time to Speculate

What Happened?

Last Friday a Malaysia 777 disappeared. I, along with the rest of the world, was glued to the news awaiting answers. I pulled away to run to the airport to give girls free flights. The rain poured crying tears for all on board. I returned Saturday and watched the news waiting for answers. I awoke Sunday with more of the same, but no news. Then off to the airport to give more girls free flights, and back home. Still no answers.

This was a challenging weekend as my two worlds of aviation collided. Sharing the gift of flight with so many, and watching the story unfold of this missing airliner. Today we still have not found that plane.

I have been asked by many what I think. My initial reaction was one of three theories which has shifted to one possibility. While I hate to speculate, I think it's important to do so in this case for one reason....So we can find the plane and answers.  

Look at the facts:

The Boeing 777 is a solid, stable, aircraft that will not fall out of the sky for anything short of a man made catastrophic event, meaning.... explosives.

• If the plane exploded midair, we would have found debris.
• There is no reason for someone to blow this plane up, unless there was a target on board. 
• Was there a potential target on board?

This is not an AF447 event. 

• There was no weather.
• The Captain was experienced, and knew how to fly. 
• Anyone who has the elaborate simulator system in their house that he did, was not flying it on the autopilot. He was keeping his flying skills alive as an aviation geek.

Did the plane become uncontrollable?

• If there had been a rapid depressurization the pilots would don their quick donning oxygen masks, fly the plane, descend and then communicate.
• If the plane lost all flight controls due to an explosion that did not blow up the entire plane, or for any other reason, they would have given a Mayday, "we're going down" call after they put their masks on.

Two Suspect Passengers

• Stolen passports and tickets paid with cash by Iranian group. A smuggling ring? Perhaps, or possibly using that as the explanation so the travel agent was unsuspecting. 
• Their final destination of these tickets could be the distraction of the pattern of the smuggling ring.
• They may or may not be involved, but this does not change what I think. However, if it quacks like a duck...

My Theory: 

I think the flight deck was compromised. The terrorists turned the transponder off. They told the captain to fly the plane toward a different city. Hong Kong comes to mind, but they could have turned back to Singapore, or head anywhere in range with one mission in mind: Create another 911 event.

I believe that captain initially followed their directions and when he realized what was about to happen, he put the plane into the ocean to save thousands of lives on the ground. If I were in that seat and they decided they didn't need me anymore, I would click off the autopilot and push the nose over in descent during my final breath.

The reason we cannot find this plane is we are looking in the wrong place. 

The search crew should draw a line from the point of disappearance, incorporating the turning radius of the plane, to all major cities that could have been a target. Then they need to take the trajectory with the speed and altitude and look in those locations with a 30 mile width.

Why has nobody taken credit?

• Because they failed! 
• If they were planning on blowing up a plane, credit would be taken. 
• They are not showing their hand because they plan on doing this again and do not want us to know who they are.

Yes... this is pure speculation. But if I am correct, and they look on a flight path to a major city, we may just find this plane sooner than later. We must find out what happened to make sure it never happens again.

We need to find that plane!

As many of you know I faced a ramification when I wrote about AF447. As it turned out, I had been accurate on everything I wrote. I am taking a deep breath as I write my thoughts today. I cannot keep this quiet because if I'm right on this too, we might just find that plane sooner than later.

What do you think Happened?
