    article here about other planes that went missing and were never found , one never made it to the Phils..

    Flying Tiger Line 739 – 1962

    The Lockheed L-1049 Super Constellation took off in ideal weather with 96 military personnel en route from Guam to the Vietnam War on board. No distress call was made but the flight never made its intended destination, Clark Air Base, in the Philippines.

    The disappearance sparked the largest air and sea rescue mission in the Pacific Ocean with 1,300 personnel involved in trawling 144,000 square miles without finding a single clue.

    Still don't think anything sinister happened, plane diverted to land at nearest airport because of a problem, cabin depressurised everyone in a coma and aircraft just continued until it exhausted all the fuel. This is only my opinion!

    If that was the case though, it wouldn't have kept changing course to avoid the radar and mobile phone range.

    Was that an assumption Keith because of no mobile communication?

    If you are out of radar range, you are also out of mobile range. Simple physics, as they are both radio waves to put it as basic as possible.

    One mobile did get a lock on a tower as it flew back over Malaysia, but it was never used by the co-pilot.

    Mystery, as £20,000 cash is withdrawn from accounts of four passengers who went down with doomed Flight MH370.

    Bank detected mysterious transactions 5 months after flight disappeared.

    Money moved from accounts of 3 passengers into 4th passenger's accounts.

    Police have launched investigation into the claims.

    Search efforts ongoing for doomed flight. Underwater search next month.

    Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 Wreckage? 58 ‘Objects’ On Ocean Floor Located By Searchers


    The Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 search took a potentially dramatic turn Sunday when the Australian-led searchers using high tech equipment announced that they have located what they called 58 “hard objects” on the floor of the Indian Ocean, right in the newly designated area where they now believe the missing plane went down.

    The searchers said that the 58 objects were “inconsistent” with other geological objects found in that area. But they have not yet retrieved the objects to figure out exactly what they are — wreckage from the missing Malaysia Airlines plane, or just strange rocks.
    “We have found 58 hard objects in the ocean floor, but have yet to identify if they are from flight MH370,” said Malaysia’s transportation chief Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai. “Now, we have to deploy our assets to the sea floor to verify whether the objects are from MH370’s wreckage, any other ship’s wreckage or hard rocks before coming to any conclusion.”

    Old news that I hadn`t seen before..

    Russia “Puzzled” Over Malaysia Airlines “Capture” By US Navy

    A new report circulating in the Kremlin today prepared by the Main Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff of the Armed Forces (GRU) states that Aerospace Defence Forces (VKO) experts remain “puzzled” as to why the United States Navy “captured and then diverted” a Malaysia Airlines civilian aircraft from its intended flight-path to their vast and highly-secretive Indian Ocean base located on the Diego Garcia atoll.

    According to this report, Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 (also marketed as China Southern Airlines flight 748 through a codeshare) was a scheduled passenger flight from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to Beijing, China, when on 8 March this Boeing 777-200ER aircraft “disappeared” in flight with 227 passengers on board from 15 countries, most of whom were Chinese, and 12 crew members.

    Interesting to note, this report says, was that Flight 370 was already under GRU “surveillance” after it received a “highly suspicious” cargo load that had been traced to the Indian Ocean nation Republic of Seychelles, and where it had previously been aboard the US-flagged container ship MV Maersk Alabama.



    What first aroused GRU suspicions regarding the MV Maersk Alabama, this report continues, was that within 24-hours of off-loading this “highly suspicious” cargo load bound for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, the two highly-trained US Navy Seals assigned to protect it, Mark Daniel Kennedy, 43, and Jeffrey Keith Reynolds, 44, were found dead under “suspicious circumstances.”

    Both Kennedy and Reynolds, this report says, were employed by the Virginia Beach, Virginia-based maritime security firm The Trident Group which was founded by US Navy Special Operations Personnel (SEAL’s) and Senior US Naval Surface Warfare Officers and has long been known by the GRU to protect vital transfers of both atomic and biological materials throughout the world.



    Upon GRU “assests” confirming that this “highly suspicious” cargo was aboard Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 on 8 March, this report notes, Moscow notified China’s Ministry of State Security (MSS) of their concerns and received “assurances” that “all measures” would be taken as to ascertain what was being kept so hidden when this aircraft entered into their airspace.

    However, this report says, and as yet for still unknown reasons, the MSS was preparing to divert Flight 370 from its scheduled destination of Beijing to Haikou Meilan International Airport (HAK) located in Hainan Province (aka Hainan Island).

    Prior to entering the People Liberation Army (PLA) protected zones of the South China Sea known as the Spratly Islands, this report continues, Flight 370 “significantly deviated” from its flight course and was tracked by VKO satellites and radar flying into the Indian Ocean region and completing its nearly 3,447 kilometer (2,142 miles) flight to Diego Garcia.

    Critical to note about Flight 370’s flight deviation, GRU experts in this report say, was that it occurred during the same time period that all of the Spratly Island mobile phone communications operated by China Mobile were being jammed.



    China Mobile, it should be noted, extended phone coverage in the Spratly Islands in 2011 so that PLA soldiers stationed on the islands, fishermen, and merchant vessels within the area would be able to use mobile services, and can also provide assistance during storms and sea rescues.

    As to how the US Navy was able to divert Flight 370 to its Diego Garcia base, this report says, appears to have been accomplished remotely as this Boeing 777-200ER aircraft is equipped with a fly-by-wire (FBW) system that replaces the conventional manual flight controls of an aircraft with an electronic interface allowing it to be controlled like any drone-type aircraft.

    However, this report notes, though this aircraft can be controlled remotely, the same cannot be said of its communication systems which can only be shut down manually; and in the case of Flight 370, its data reporting system was shut down at 1:07 a.m., followed by its transponder (which transmits location and altitude) which was shut down at 1:21 a.m.

    What remains “perplexing” about this incident, GRU analysts in this report say, are why the American mainstream media outlets have yet to demand from the Obama regime the radar plots and satellite images of the Indian Ocean and South China Sea regions as the US military covers this entire area from Diego Garcia like no other seas in the world due to its vital shipping and air lanes.

    Most sadly, this report concludes, the US is actually able to conceal the reason(s) for the “disappearance” of Flight 370 as they have already done so after the events of 11 September 2011 when the then Bush regime “disappeared” American Airlines Flight 77 and its 64 passengers and crew after falsely claiming it hit the Pentagon, but which was confirmed by the CNN News Service [see video HERE] not to have happened.

    The two ex navy seals that were guarding the highly suspicious cargo on the Maersk Columbia said to have been transferred too the Malaysian airliner were both found dead. Huge heroin overdose!

    I dont trust Putin either BUT..
    There is Probably no way that a Passenger airline "zombie plane" could hit the water anywhere in the world in ANY ocean and not have remnants or broken pieces that would not have been visible by now or would not have been washed ashore.
    Are you saying that Flight 370 simply skimmed through the water surface,came too a peaceful stop and then sunk into the Ocean with the amount of sealed air traps on board?
    No crash segments that would float and reach shore...Ever?
    Sorry...I dont believe it for one moment.

    if it was shot down why has no wreckage been found

    Flight MH370 was 'hacked and shot down by US Air Force' claims former airline boss
    Missing Flight MH370 was 'hacked and then shot down over the Indian Ocean by the US Air Force,' it has been claimed.

    The Malaysia Airlines plane was remotely hijacked by unknown persons before being blasted out of the sky by the American military, fearing a terrorist attack similar to 9/11, according to Mark Dugain.

    The Frenchman, an author and the ex-head of the now-defunct Proteus Airlines, believes the Boeing 777 was downed by US Air Force assets from the British-controlled Indian Ocean island of Diego Garcia.

    Mr Dugain said he had travelled to the Maldives and spoken to locals who claimed to have seen a "huge plane" flying overhead at low altitude in the direction of Diego Garcia.

    According to an article penned by Dugan in French weekly magazine Paris Match, one fisherman told him: “I saw a huge plane fly over us at low altitude.

    “I saw red and blue stripes (the livery of Malaysia Airlines) on a white background."

    Dugain said the man's account was supported by several other locals.

    It's really still a mystery.

    I read somewhere that the plane was carrying a cargo of 440 pounds of lithium-ion batteries.
    Someone suggested that fumes from a battery fire could have overcome the crew, and passengers.
    I wonder if the seabed search will continue

    No wreckage at all is baffling.

    I doubt very much that the two ex US navy seals that were guarding the cargo before it was delivered to the aircraft (both found dead) were guarding lithium-ion batteries!
    The witnesses that saw the low flying aircraft over the Maldives were quickly muted and ridiculed.
    Apparently, those aircraft can be flown and landed remotely.

    I'm sure someone will come across the position of the aircraft one day, wrecked or not!

    They've been like that for awhile. Usually around the £550 mark.
