Am I the only one questioning why the American government and its news stations are pushing this particular incident on its people.
Why do they want you to pay so much attention to a Malaysian incident why. Do you all follow Malaysian news normally. Sounds to me that they want you all to hate on Iran so you will support their greedy war agenda. If there wasn't the word Iran in there do you think the American news would be pushing this at all, they wouldn't it would just be a five second segment and you wouldn't hear of it again.
I agree since this has happen there has been no news on tv in my country about Ukraine and its hostility. If you ask me they probably used this missing plane incident as a diversion.

An airplane carrying 239 people and traveling internationally is highjacked -- that will always be of major global interest and it warrants many headlines. HOWEVER it also warrants real investigatory journalism. The global media is complicit in a major coverup in their failure to question what is being reported.

CNN says that from the point of last contact, the plane should have had "not much" fuel left.
I've had a bit of problem from the onset with this. How hard would it be to bribe someone or alter charts or whatever to get the extra fuel needed to fly farther? I kinda doubt it would be all that difficult though I really have no idea. I would think there is a guy who just reads how much fuel goes into which plane and is pretty far removed from the whole flight process. Seems easy enough to kidnap dudes family, bribe him or just alter information.
ETA I think the US probably knows more about what's going on than Malaysia. I think the government in Malaysia went into full CYA mode and is very begrudgingly coming to terms with the fact that the US is going to keep 'leaking' info via unverified sources (notice these sources and claims are often correct and off the record doesn't mean the reporter doesn't know who they're talking to) until they admit they screwed up. Regardless of whether or not this was indeed a hijacking.
One of the first things I thought (before the course was plotted out) was that there was an issue and the jet turned around and got shot down by mistake or something.edit on 1420140320141 by Domo1 because: (no reason given)

This looks interesting.

Someone did say that from the plane. I posted previously "What pilot says that?" I don;t think they were so far from the origin tower that they would normally say goodnight, as in not expecting further communication. That is a good clue.

I think also it was said 10 minutes after the transponders stopped working. Not sure. I can't keep up with this story.
He said " alright, goodnight".

Another thing. Didnt they say the pilot had a flight simulator in his home. Now thats not ominous except in retrospect. However.. that means he had a simulator to try flying unique plans in privacy. Would he have normal access to a simulator whenever he wanted? If so was he setting it up for circumstances he wouldnt want to be seen? I wonder if they can check his programs. If it showed one where he turned off transponder and changed directions.
Privacy to plot or just being the best and prepared.
