Yeah, I've been in tandem with you ZGB checking that thread. Supposedly, they've been scrubbing some comments.
Like I said, my brother is an airline pilot. His first answer was "aliens". He didn't necessarily mean that. But he did. If you give total reliance upon the engineering that pilots are urged to do -- this kind of shit is impossible. Completely impossible. Much like the Hastings crash into a palm tree. From what I understand this is the most reliable wide-body jet in the skies. In fact, it shuttles America's heros back and forth from their "war zones". I don't think "aliens", but it is at this point not out of the realm of possibility.
The story is the meaning behind the promulgation of the mystery.

I was reading shit about whether he won or lost. Everybody signs a contract that they will not speak of it -- can't even tell their family and shit what the outcome was. This all was taped months ago, yet no one came forward and said "I know exactly when he won and when he finally lost". Yet someone knew MONTHS ago the day he would finally go down. There has to be a few hundred people in the audience of the show's tapings. Nobody "tweeted" or whatever what they knew?
Because, I would be all "bro, check this out. Went to jeopardy taping while down in LA and in two months the winner is going to be X". For some reason this never happens! Never. Hundreds of people looked on to what happened months ago and yet nothing got leaked!
Great point!!

There doesn't appear to be any actual evidence of an audience being in the Jeopardy studio.

Police are investigating the possibility that the pilot of missing Flight MH370 hijacked his own aircraft in a bizarre political protest.
The Mail on Sunday has learned that Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah was an ‘obsessive’ supporter of Malaysia’s opposition leader, Anwar Ibrahim. And hours before the doomed flight left Kuala Lumpur it is understood 53-year-old Shah attended a controversial trial in which Ibrahim was jailed for five years.
Campaigners say the politician, the key challenger to Malaysia’s ruling party, was the victim of a long-running smear campaign and had faced trumped-up charges. Police sources have confirmed that Shah was a vocal political activist – and fear that the court decision left him profoundly upset. It was against this background that, seven hours later, he took control of a Boeing 777-200 bound for Beijing and carrying 238 passengers and crew.

FROM TERRORISTS TO TINTIN... THE WORLDWIDE CONSPIRACIES THEORIES
The internet has been abuzz with conspiracy theories about flight MH370’s disappearance, from terrorists to Tintin, some vaguely plausible, others simply ridiculous... THE PLAUSIBLE
Flying bomb: According to this theory, the plane has been taken to Vietnam, where it is waiting to be used as a weapon in a 9/11 style attack. Passengers alive: Because some relatives of passengers have heard ringing tones on their loved ones’ mobiles, rather than being put straight through to voicemail, they believe it is evidence they were still alive. In fact, not all such calls do go straight to voicemail, especially if the battery is also destroyed.
THE LUDICROUS
Alien involvement: Cyber posters looking on flight mapping website Flightradar24 spotted one object (identified as a Korean airliner) which appears to streak across the screen at an incredible speed around the time of MH370’s disappearance. A glitch on the website, said Flightradar. Silicon connection: With an IBM executive and 20 members of a Texan IT company aboard, some have concluded a Chinese kidnap plot is afoot, with a transfer on to a ‘black site’ for interrogation.
...AND NOT FORGETTING THE HERGE HYPOTHESIS! Similar: A Tintin plot line about a disappearing jet
Tintin connection: In his comic book Flight 714, published in 1968, Belgian cartoonist Hergé penned a plot which resembles some aspects of the Malaysian mystery.
In the plot, set in the Far East, Tintin, Captain Haddock and Professor Calculus are offered a lift in a millionaire’s private jet. As event unfold (panel 1 above), the aircraft is hijacked by the pilots and brought to a deserted volcanic island; (2) the jet manages to make a rough landing on a makeshift roll-out runway; and (3) gunmen surround the plane and Tintin’s dog Snowy makes a run for it.
After several close shaves – and even a meeting with aliens – the friends finally make it safely on to Flight 714 and to their original destination, Sydney.
Is missing Malaysian jet the world’s first CYBER HIJACK? Chilling new theory claims hackers could use a mobile phone to take over the controls
Anti-terror expert said plane's direction could be changed by radio signals Speed and altitude could also be changed from device using 'codes' Possibility that it could be made to land using remote control Pilot's friends said he had always been a 'gadget geek' at school

A chilling theory suggests the missing Malaysian Airlines plane could have been hijacked using a mobile phone or USB stick.
An anti-terror expert believes the speed, altitude and direction of the aircraft could have been changed, simply by sending radio signals from a small remote device.
A framework of 'codes' created by cyber terrorists would also be able to get into the plane's in-flight entertainment system and override the security software.
It is also believed, once the systems have been successfully hacked, the plane could be landed by remote control.
The theory has emerged as the search for flight MH370 continues to grow, with 25 countries now involved in the rescue effort.
Yesterday, Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak confirmed the plane's disappearance was the result of a 'deliberate act' and could have flown as far as Kazakstan.
Dr Sally Leivesley, a former Home Office official, said: 'It might well be the world’s first cyber hijack.'
Dr Leivesley, who now prepares businesses and governments for potential terrorist attacks, told the Sunday Express: 'There appears to be an element of planning from someone with a very sophisticated systems engineering understanding,'
'This is a very early version of what I would call a smart plane, a fly-by-wire aircraft controlled by electronic signals.
She added that once the plane is air-side, you can insert a set of commands and codes which can begin a new set of processes.
Friends of Capt Zaharie Ahmad Shah, whose home was searched by police yesterday, said he was a 'gadget geek' while at school.
They described the 53-year-old as someone who would 'never compromise his passenger's safety', the Malaysian Star reported.
A flight simulator, which was taken from his luxury house in a suburb outside Kuala Lumpur, has been dismantled and is being examined by investigators.
Police also searched the home of co-pilot Fariq Abdul Hamid, who lives in the same upmarket district.

Terrifying! Programmer shows off app which takes over planes
This was a regularly scheduled flight, which is why they had to change the flight number. And no one in Malaysia, as far as I can tell, has designs on somebody else's oil wells whose seizure would require an excuse for starting a war.
What interests me is the flight simulator the pilot had in his home. Did this include real airports and runways in Southeast Asia and Tibet? This would have made an ideal tool for planning an operation in quite some detail. But again, where do you land where the local authorities wouldn't turn you in?
The person in control of missing Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 issued their last communication to air traffic control after the first set of aircraft communications was disabled, Malaysian authorities have confirmed, adding further weight to suspicion that the plane was hijacked.

The Malaysians are also now suggesting that the last satellite communication may have been from the ground. If this is true, it would place the plane on the track north of Malaysia and not south. It would also suggest that the passengers could still be alive.

We could certainly use SOME good news for a change...

Interesting developments. This aircraft I'm sure most of you know was the first fully computer-designed completely fly-by-wire aircraft, and susceptible to hacking. Regarding AWACS, they certainly have the capability of projecting a false radar image. Military radars detect all aircraft and most civilian traffic is tracked only by transponder beacon, excluding from display all others that may be being detected, by not tracked or displayed.
Perhaps someone can correct me, but this is how I understand the differences of the two systems, military and commercial.
Was it already mentioned that the last communication was 7 hours afters it disappeared from radar?
Jeopardy! Very interesting. Yesterday I caught a bit of the show for first time in many years. I was awed by how something so sparse as its set could be so god-awful gaudy. While visiting my daughter last evening, the only place I get to see the mind-numbing marvel of 20th century marketing, I caught the final question watched long enough to see resulting winner. My son-outlaw was kind enough to see it through, as his usual viewing style seems to be to take in an iota of each of the hundreds of channels offered until something bizarre and foreign to logic attracts him to delay a moment more, a reprieve of the incessant thumb-twitching and after comprehending and recognizing my utter bafflement of the object of his attention and his interest in it, I disengage, turn my head in astonishment and cry for the future.
Not to be one of those guys parroting woo, but on a sync level
3/7 it goes missing. Three 7's. 777 Flight 370. 3/7 3,700 km flying at 37,000 feet
I just don't get the vibe that the pilot/s are some secret evil nefarious terrorists as the governments and media are suspecting. Maybe Im wrong. It's definitely doubtful any of the passengers "hijacked" the plane. It just seems that even if Shah wanted to make some bizarre suicidal political statement, the co-pilot would have tried to stop him. And the passengers would be wising up after being diverted for hours over the ocean going the wrong way. And wouldn't he leave a note or make an announcement or declaration as to his intent?
Perhaps this event is meant to be a rorschach test, to create a thousand theories and drive people mad

But you always think that. That can be everything. It says nothing about who, what, or in the service of what aims, and thus answers no questions of interest. (The "Rohrshach" idea would potentially be a question of interest, but only if we already knew the who and what and these appeared to be intended as such a test.) It also does not attempt an outline of our own ignorance, within which we might begin to assign probabilities to differing possibilities (in a Bayesian way). Not bothering is fine, far less problematic than fashioning definitive (and definitely untrue) guesses out of the mass of our own ignorance. But if you do bother, don't just do so to capitulate.
