Missing Airplane
« on: March 11, 2014, 01:28:11 pm »

Has anyone been following the news about the Malaysian airlines thats gone missing? Its getting pretty strange when they suddenly say that the plane is on the other side of the peninsula, especially since they should have been able to track it on radar for that entire hour it would take to fly there.

Maybe the infrastructure isn't that great?

I haven't found any information on it reappearing on other sides of peninsula's and such.

Anyway, most likely this'll be a mid air disintegration, either due technical failure, or a bomb.

It's rumored that malaysian military radar tracked the plane turning west (it was flying north-northeast to beijing) and flying for 70 minutes till they lost track of it, which would take it to the strait of malacca on the other side of the peninsula.

Malaysia's air force chief denies it, though, so who knows? It seems like nobody really knows where the plane was exactly, or which direction it was heading.
