The missing wreckage has already been explained. They're not looking in the right place.

One thing is for certain. The missing wreckage will be in the last place they look.

Behind the fridge?

That's amazing! How do you know? :doh: :O:

I usually find all my missing wreckage right next to the car keys. Now where the heck did I leave my keys? :-?

MAS said in their latest statement that they're "investigating allegations against the first officer".

Here are some of those allegations: http://www.theguardian.com/world/201...iq-abdul-hamid

:hmmm:

The plot sickens.:hmm2:

Malaysian military denies reporting missing aircraft being way off course. About the only clear thing in this incident is that noone knows what's going on.

Murphy's Law, subparagraph 13-C: It's always in the last place you look. :D

And if it could be connected to the allegations (which the airline acknowledged it's aware of and is shocked by), let's not forget this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeroflot_Flight_593

Looking at the map in the story, it shows two widely separated areas being searched, with a large gap (land and water) in between. Do they even know where to look?

And now it's not changed course...

This is getting a smidge ridiculous now...perhaps MH370 was shot down by Flight 19? :doh:

Looks very like my post at #128. ;)

See?! Another mystery! :nope:

Must just be that particular unit I recon as in my experience they did things fairly well.

You are an AGE mechanic? What kind of GPU? AM32A-60 or AM32A-86 or maybe one of those clunker Cummins powered GPUs?:hmmm: The plug is at the end of the cable which is connected to the GPU so if nothing was wrong with the GPU and its power cable the plug being at the end then the connection the male end which is behind a door on the fuselage of the aircraft would have to have been the part that was damaged.If the plug in fact was damaged then that would have been a problem with the GPU. Of course I can think of several reasons why a GPU properly connected(sans a jacked up male connection) will not generate power for example on a dash 60 someone not opening the exhaust door and thus not closing the door switch which will cause the turbine not to spool I have seen that a few times.

What I am talking about:
plug female end which is part of the GPU http://www.aerospecialties.com/image...U_Cable_03.jpg
Connector male end which is a permanent part of the aircraft in this case the GPU is plugged in normally there would be male connectors visible if the GPU plug was not connected(I believe in your story you mean to say that this end was wacko)

Uncorrelated primary radar plot spotted 45 minutes after last contact, 200nm NW of Penang.

Curious and curiouser.

Cue music

Fishy. Hopefully there's enough in the radar data to at least figure out if that was a 777 or not.
It's still very weird, though, because that's at least another 45 minutes and some of it over land - the lack of any data coming from the plane in that period (including any attempted phone calls from passengers) is weird.

Generally not enough data. Seems it's a primary surveillance radar plot, which isn't your narrow-aperture high-resolution stuff that can ID an aircraft.

If it's anything like our primary radar all you'll get is bearing, groundspeed and climb rate. Not sure how well set up Malaysian military radar is.

This plot was spotted when they were revising radar tapes, which tells me one two things -

1) Malaysian Military controllers don't have full correlation of civil traffic
2) They should, but don't care if they don't

I'd like to know the secondary radar coverage map of that area. Somebody missed something

I saw this on the joke thread and thought it fairly accurate.
