Well, that might just lend more credence to the idea proposed in the article we've been discussing on the last couple of pages, that the crew simply became incapacitated and the plane flew on its own under noone's control and with no intentions.

Canadian news aren't too bad, but Canada has a huge problem with the concentration of our media industry on general. Two and a half companies own virtually all of our communication infrastructure along with news and entertainment outlets.

Sounds just as likely as any theory i've heard.

Only new information I've heard about the course is the possible Thai radar contact:

On Mar 19th 2014 the Marshal told Malaysia's Authorities, that an intermittent signal of an airliner was picked up at 01:28L as it headed towards Kuala Lumpur from the South China Sea, turned right towards Butterworth (Malaysia) and was lost from radar.

Butterworth/Penang is about 70 miles southwest of Pulau Langkawi that Chris Goodfellow mentions in his theory.

I'm really worried about the people on the Malaysian airplane.

Can you imagine the looks of the air hostesses without 10 days of makeup?

No, sorry. Not really my cup of Darjeeling, I'm afraid.

On the other hand, here's a worthy refutation to the article we've been discussing for the last couple of pages:

Quote:

A gentleman by the name of Chris Goodfellow posted to Google+ his theory about what happened to Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. This post was subsequently reposted on Wired.com and quoted by the Christian Science Monitor. The Wired piece describes Mr. Goodfellow:
Chris Goodfellow has 20 years experience as a Canadian Class-1 instrumented-rated pilot for multi-engine planes.
There are so, so many things that are factually wrong with Goodfellow's piece that I honestly have to question if he is or ever was actually a pilot or has ever flown an aircraft himself. Regardless of his professional or technical experience with airplanes I cannot in good conscience leave the myriad falsehoods, misstatements, and faulty conjectures he made unchecked.

My background? I am a former US Air Force test pilot with over 5,000 hours in 35+ aircraft, including over 3,000 hours in heavy, multi-engine jets. I have corroborated much of what's written here with a current 777 pilot.

And that counter-point to the theory states exactly why I never believed it to begin with.

One thing. If they flew long enough to run out of fuel, there probably won't be any 'oil/fuel' slick. But if they crashed into the ocean there has to be debris from the plane breaking up, even if the plane is 3 or 4 miles down on the sea floor.

If neither shows up then it's crashed on land. That being said, if there's no fuel then there's no fire. Well there could be a small unnoticed fire out in the middle of nowhere from residual fuel and what's left of engine oil.

Lastly, it could have landed out in the middle of nowhere. There's jungle galore over there in that part of the world, and desert no one sees out in the middle of Australia. But not found in 2 weeks leaves one wondering. Either TDW is right or it's just plain "Lost".

If it was belly landed intact in open water and subsequently sank there could be precious little debris to locate. Think of how much debris Sully left in the Hudson. None?

That was different though. Landing on the Hudson in perfect conditions is nothing like trying to land on open ocean.
