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.

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

The plot sickens.

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.

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?

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

I brought this to their attention and guess what their reply was? That aircraft just came out of maintenance

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

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?

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)
