The AirFarce and it's maintenance on airplanes is a total joke. I got called out to a base which houses E-3 and E-4 (the vice president's airplanes). I won't disclose the name of the base but those near that base know exactly which one I'm talking about.

Long story short they said a GPU (ground power unit) was not working correctly with the aircraft and the aircraft was constantly rejecting the power it was giving. Upon inspection of the GPU I found no fault. Upon inspection of the aircraft I found the aircraft plug loose with wires hanging out of it and the connections on the backside were also loose :huh: I brought this to their attention and guess what their reply was? That aircraft just came out of maintenance :dead: I wish I had the power to deem that aircraft not airworthy but alas there's no such thing when it comes to governmental aircraft :down:

So my theory of the plane being stolen somehow might not be that far from the truth after all. Something must have happened to the pilots and the people aboard the plane. I've also read that apparently some of the passengers cell phones are still ringing. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/w...hones/6285325/ That's the link for that story

Still just not enough data to solidify any particular theory. :doh:

More pointless speculation. :roll: Nature abhors a vacuum.

Alas it is all we can do, but I think we're pretty much drained the well dry until something, anything physical is found from or of the aircraft.

Interpol says less chance of terrorism but CIA not so sure.

My money would be on the report from military radar stating she turned west and could well be somewhere in the Malacca Strait.

More speculation to what is already posted I suppose.

The Malacca Strait is only 120' deep. The tail on the 777 is 60' 9" so there must be something to see.........................Somewhere............. .

The phones aren't ringing. It's a false tone injected by the carrier to keep you on the line while they try to locate the phone you're trying to contact.

Not if she disintegrated mid-air.

There still has got to be scrap around.

Probably...but only in the right area.

I wonder what the chances are that it went down in the big hills of Sumatra?

We are all guilty of one thing...speculation, but the bottom line must be that an answer has to be found if at all possible, otherwise this will become yet another 'mystery of the world'.

One possibility may be a Helios Airways 52 scenario where the crew and passengers were overcome by hypoxia due to a pressurization failure.

Might explain the weird course change and the absence of emergency phone calls. Certainly doesn't explain the missing wreckage, though.
