More Thoughts on Missing Malaysian Flight MH370:

Yahoo user Frank responds to Torrent (see previous post on this blog, below this one) with these comments regarding missing Flight MH370 via yahoo news comments (see link to article below, also I commented as yahoo user Robert):

"Great post - here's some thoughts-

So - Let's rule some stuff out.

1. Agreed - Suicide is out. The pilot would have to disable some control systems but within his capabilities. But the flew on for 7 hours - he would have had to kill all onboard too - doing that without just crashing the plane is too weird..
2. Kinda - Terrorism is out. It could have been a lone wolf type of thing - like Boston.
3. Agreed - Theft of the plane is out - this is a theory that I believe oringniated on yahoo comment boards and is about as idiotic as even the worst theories.
4. Kinda - Theft of the plane for technology is out, although terrorist would love to have a 777 to learn how to fly on - it's a difficult thing to pull off - the "radar" thing would have watched the plane land anywhere (except Diego Garcia - but the ACARS data does support the plane flying in that direction).
5. Agreed - Military seizure is a very difficult solution to a problem where so many much simpler solutions exist.
6. Out - Communicable diseases theory is straight out of Hollywood - right now there is some producer that is calling Harrison Ford about this movie right now.
7. Out - Theft of the plane to pack it full of nukes - This just couldn't happen for so many, so many, so many, so many, so many reasons - here's a short list - tracking of nukes, tracking of current flights and current squawks, the huge number of civilians that would act as part of all of these systems make a cover up in possible, RADAR - it sees planes flying around, missile defense systems, fighters ready to scramble at a moments notice, ACARS, etc.

Thought on the List of oddities:

1. Complete radio and telephone silence - last words heard: goodnight tower (no stress or concern in voice). Technological know-how and ability to disable communication systems is extreme - and the pilots should have been able to communicate using alternate forms of communication as systems began failing.
2. Disappearance from all area national radars
3. Disappearance occurred on a calm night.
4. All passengers and crew are cleared of terrorist suspicion
5. Pilots are cleared of suicidal tendencies

Conclusions: Need a single thing that can fit into all of the oddities - Rapid Cabin Depressurization - at altitude could kill everyone on board in minutes - O2 system could last 15 minutes as best (and likely on for the pilots at that time). Pilots could have still descended quickly to an altitude with enough O2. BUT, what if a spark in the O2 system cause the explosion - this would eliminate the O2 from the masks, killing everyone on board within 2 minutes. The plane would continuing flying on George - even executing the preprogrammed turnaround towards the nearest airport (common practice) but with dead pilots, the plane would keep flying til flame out."

My own thoughts are that it was either...

1. Poison gas (including, but not limited to Co2 - Carbon Monoxide).
2. Electrical fire that had deadly smoke, fire eventually burned out though.
3. Cabin Depressurization like Frank mentioned above.
4. Terrorist/Lone Wolf Bombings/Other act, also as Frank Mentioned above.
5. A fast paced deadly virus would be possible like Torrent said, possibly, killing all onboard.
6. Pilot Suicide is always possible.
7. Pilot or Hijackers crashed plane into ocean as a political act, religious one, or other. 
8. Something else.

Report: Ship detects "pulse" signal in search for jet airliner MH370 - CBS News

PERTH, Australia -- "A Chinese ship involved in the hunt for the missing Malaysian jetliner reported hearing a "pulse signal" Saturday in Indian Ocean waters with the same frequency emitted by the plane's data recorders.

China's official Xinhua News Agency said a black box detector deployed by the ship, Haixun 01, picked up a signal at 37.5 kilohertz (cycles per second). However, Xinhua said it had not yet been determined whether the signal was related to the missing plane, citing the China Maritime Search and Rescue Center.

Malaysia's civil aviation chief, Azharuddin Abdul Rahman, confirmed that the frequency emitted by Flight 370's black boxes was 37.5 kilohertz.

Retired Air Chief Marshal Angus Houston, Chief Coordinator of the Joint Agency Coordination Center -- the Australian government agency coordinating the search -- said Saturday the Haixun's report of electronic pulse signals could not be verified at this time. U.S. officials from the NTSB and FAA were not able to confirm the report, either.

Houston also said the report of a number of white objects on the water's surface about 90 kilometers from the signal detection area could not be confirmed to be related to the missing plane.

The deployment of Royal Australian Air Force assets to the area where the Chinese ship detected the sounds is being considered, Houston said."

Officials Say Missing Malaysia Airlines Plane 'Ended in the Southern Indian Ocean' -ABC News/yahoo

Very sad news to report:

New satellite data reveals that missing Malaysian Airlines Flight 370 "ended" its journey in a "remote location" of the southern Indian Ocean, Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak said today.

"This is a remote location, far from any possible landing sites. It is therefore with deep sadness and regret that I must inform you that, according to this new data, flight MH370 ended in the southern Indian Ocean," a somber Razak said during a media briefing.

The jet vanished March 8 with 289 people on board after it took off from Kuala Lampur bound for Beijing.

The announcement follows weeks of searches that spanned the South China Sea, Strait of Malacca and finally the south Indian Ocean off of Australia as authorities tried to figure out what happened to the plane.

Note: I had a dream over a week ago, regarding missing flight MH307. It was a dream with
3 skeletons on the edge of an island, the west coast of Australia it looked like. Maybe it meant
something? -Rob

Flight 370 passenger's relative: 'All lives are lost' - CNN Breaking News UPDATE

(CNN) -- Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 went down over the southern Indian Ocean, Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak said Monday, citing a new analysis of satellite data by a British satellite company and accident investigators, and apparently ending hopes that anyone survived.

A relative of a missing passenger briefed by the airline in Beijing said, "They have told us all lives are lost."

Razak based his announcement on what he described as unprecedented analysis of satellite data sent by the plane by British satellite provider Inmarsat and the British Air Accidents Investigation Branch. He didn't describe the nature of the analysis.

But he said it made it clear that the plane's last position was in the middle of the remote southern Indian Ocean, "far from any possible landing sites."
