LOST: MH370

I saw the Malay Minister of Defence speaking on TV last night ( a repeat of 4 corners I think). He didn't do himself any favours the way he was talking.. too flippant?

He wasn't seriously suggesting the Americans shot it down. He was trying to take the focus off why the military radar staff at Penang never took any action when they noticed (if they noticed and they should have) MH370 in their airspace.

No, there is nothing funny about this ( missing plane, 239 lost lives).

I agree..

But that's not the comment that won the five laughy-face award.

There is still not anything funny about a plane crash were all the passengers have in all probability died. Ask their families if there is.

Staggering new claims

Not based on fact.

I would like to see someone disprove it.

Secondly, someone somewhere will spill the beans with facts and proof, eventually

I found 4 Corners fascinating. Previously I thought it had just dropped off the radar and fallen into the ocean somewhere. I can now see why there are so many more theories out there.

[cherry*135]

If someone makes a claim paints, it is up to them to prove it happened. Until then it is just a theory.

 imo no one anywhere has any proof or knowledge of what happened to MH370.

Oh well.......

P007 Why don't you desist from  your continual technically unsupported nutty conspiracy assertions. The loss of flight 370 is  a tragic event, and using it to air conspiracy comments that display a complete lack of aeronautical knowledge, and  posting your tacky image,  display a lack of compassion and understanding  of the feelings of those adversely  affected by the incident.

Give it a rest.

USS COWPENS SHOT DOWN MALAYSIAN FLIGHT 370 MARCH 8 2014

A wide gulf continues to separate China and the United States and future encounters of naval vessels and military aircraft in and over the South China Sea could result in further mishaps.

I've never heard of a 45-kilometer "inner defense ring"............On deployments in the Med, we always had a Kynda or Kashin-class Soviet warship in our hip pocket, even when we were conducting flight ops.......
