MH370

[Mrs Ex-Ascot]

Yet another theory, but this one is not as wacky as most of the previous ones. Perhaps they have been looking in the wrong area all along.

Love to know how you 'parachute' from a 777. Fairly 'wacky' in my book!

[Pontius Navigator]

BOAC, obvious init, you depressurize the cabin, you switch on the radar cloaking device, then go down to the rear when everyone is asleep. You open the hidden 727 style access door, push out your inflatable dingy and outboard motor and follow it out.

Did I miss anything?

A parachute?

[Boac]

No, PN - I just had not thought it through.

[Mrs Ex-Ascot]

OK folks the parachuting bit does fall under wacky.

I was actually focusing on the possible location of where it went splat.

We all know that you always find things in the last place that you look.

[Ex-Ascot]

The SAS were once looking to do HALO jumps from the hold of the VC10. Simulations showed that they would go through the engines first so they gave up that idea.

[Slasher]

Simulations sah? What...they threw dummies out of VC10 holds which ended up crashing through the donks?

[Pontius Navigator]

Slasher, no, seriously for a moment, simulation - nothing physically happens. Trials - it does and is monitored. Training - you do it following trials approved methods. Practise is what you do in training before Actual which is for real is operational.

But anyone knows that if a nut flies off out of site the best way to find it is to do it again

Simulations?

All they needed was a photo ferfuxake!

[Alisoncc]

It was a common belief that going through a Conway would not interfere with the ability of an SAS combatant in carrying out their duties.

[Sisemen]

Don't knock the idea....going through a Conway would make them extremely low observable on the way down. They just have to solve the rejoining the bits problem when they arrive on target.

[Pontius Navigator]

BEagle in TOP asked the top neddy who authorised a parachute exit why not bang seats. You would have needed some bang seat to clear the bacon slicer.

[John Hill]

Downward operating bang seats would not be a new idea.

[Mrs Ex-Ascot]

It's only taken these guys just under 5 years to reveal that they saw the crash and recorded the co-ordinates on their GPS.

[Sisemen]

Fairy story.

With all those Chinese pax why do you think the Chinks have put a lander on the far side of the moon? It’s a rescue mission to bring their people back after the aircraft was hijacked and transported there by aliens!

Somebody should pay me for solving this mystery.

[Mrs Ex-Ascot]

The latest theory; https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/articl ... acked.html

This guy could be correct about the possible location and even admits that the fact that debris has washed up on various beaches rules out the possibility that it landed somewhere. Wins the most plausable theory so far this year.

Flight MH370 5 Years On: The Mystery Continues

Documentary about the search for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, which vanished en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on 8th March 2014 with 239 people on board. The programme examines the theory that it was a deliberate act of murder-suicide, considers the significance of the mysterious mid-air phone call between the pilot and his cousin, and reveals the latest science, analysis and new information that experts hope will enable them to piece together events and find the plane's final resting place.

Now yet another theory: murder, bail out and elopement. It's all in a new book, much of which seems to have been fictionalised:

Personally I have always thought there was something odd about the way that Zaharie deliberately looked at the security camera as they left the building, but I have a suspicious mind. Must be from watching too many crime programmes on TV.
