DLT 1,646 Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 Could you land a 777 in the old Mogadishu airport? The range seems about the same, and based on the last location, it makes sense to fly there. Basically fly between Diego Garcia and India. Nobody to see you there.

Ronin38 2,117 Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 If anyone "took" it, in that part of the world I'd expect the Muzzies from southern Indonesia. It could easily fly there, but I don't know if they have a runway big enough for it. Until something concrete (or aluminum, in this case) comes up, pretty much anything is still on the table at this point... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

termite 463 Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 The strip I flew into in Malang Indonesia, will make your butt pull the fabric off the seat while landing. There where old DC-3's crashed all over the place in the woods, aka JUNGLE, so if they could plop it down in there, it could be. I also know that every morning I was woke up to that damn bellering shit being blared from loud speakers on roof tops. Also learned that if some Muzzie leaves his prayer mat by the door, and you come in with mud on my boots after walking around the paper machine, you shouldn't wipe you muddy boots on it, They get REALLY pissed off, ask me I know. The guy I was with realized what all the screaming and cussing was about, looked down at my boots, then grabbed a hose and washed me down, he then told me to act like I had been down there all the time working on the pumps. But if they did "steal" the plane, it'll show up some day, maybe with a nuke on it over our air space. Most likely, it's in the water. I figure a fight in the cock pit between pilot and co pilot, one trying to take it, one trying to not let him, and they and the others all lost, but what do I know, I wiped my feet on a muzzies prayer mat. NO SHIT, it really happened, and I'M PROUD OF IT. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matthew Hopkins 1,065 Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 (edited) I can tell you exactly what happened to that plane. it wasn't any aliens, terrorist, pilot error etc.... here is the culprit Edited March 13, 2014 by Matthew Hopkins 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

james lambert 3,059 Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 For a terrorist who does not have an ICBM this is the way. Boeing says the engines were running for hours after it vanished (uplink data) It went somewhere. Jim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Einstein69 8 Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 now the concerns are whether or not they are going to fly it back somewhere for a terrorist attack....... ALEX JONES Quote Link to post Share on other sites
csspecs 1,987 Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 If the plane did not go down. We are looking at a new level of terrorist/ or government operation. I'm sort of suspecting China. They have been silent about what is going on in Ukraine and are likely to side with Russia. If someone is using this as a weapon, expect deployment within the month.. You can't hide something that big for long. I hope its sitting peacefully on the bottom of the ocean, rather than being refitted as some sort of doomsday weapon.

james lambert 3,059 Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 You can hide a lot in that part of the world!! It may have gone down...but I doubt it. Third world countries or people could build a nuclear weapon if they can get fisile material. All the rest is simple....except making it small, or efficent. An aircraft like this is the perfect solution, and that has me a little concerned. Jim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Yugopap4me 29 Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 I've heard the plane was taken to a country where it's being retrofitted as a WMD to attack either a US aircraft carrier or the USA itself. This makes no sense to me because a target that big would be a sitting duck for defenses. I hear there were at least 20 scientists on board. I think Bane hijacked the plane and kidnapped the scientists midair a lot like he did in the Dark Knight Rises. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DLT 1,646 Posted March 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 There are a ton of little islands in the Indian ocean, but probably only a handful with the ability to land a 777. Unless of course, someone built a secret runway on one of them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Yugopap4me 29 Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 (edited) Imagine If it did land safely on some secret runway for some unknown reason this would be on a whole new level of terrorism. After 9/11 I always thought the next step would be to recruit a existing pilot with a proven record. Edited March 13, 2014 by Yugopap4me Quote Link to post Share on other sites
patriot 7,197 Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 The 777 can be remotely piloted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Yugopap4me 29 Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 (edited) Remotely piloted? Hackers from china or north Korea would be my guess then. All kidding aside, it blows my mind that a country can keep tabs on every single one of it's citizens but not on one of the biggest most sophisticated flying machines on earth.

DLT 1,646 Posted March 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 Well I didn't know that the engines send their own individual pings to satellites. When did they sneak that little feature on those planes. Even scarier, can Boeing or someone with a high enough level of authority send a signal back and shut them off? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Yugopap4me 29 Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 Interesting. I'm sure it's possible seeing such things are possible on missiles. But why would a company want that feature...a government would most likely install a feature like that behind a manufacturers back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
frz1197 128 Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 The engine data thing is fairly standard on newer aircraft. I work on top of the line business jets and we have a system where the plane sends more data than the flight data recorder looks at to us. Its used to track issues for maintanance, spot problems, tell people to change filters and the like. You can see anything from engine speed to yoke positions to the microwave being on.

DLT 1,646 Posted March 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 A feature like that could have prevented a second and third plane attack during 9/11. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Yugopap4me 29 Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 Yes but a feature like that could also be misused or hacked. Double edged sword. Besides who needs that feature when you can just shoot a plane down like flight 93. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jwulf 179 Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 (edited) Heck...I have those features on my car...sends data to the shop without me knowing or doing anything. Supposedly they will call or send an email if the detect something failing. Fast and furious 5 or 6 showed the system being used against the drivers...though in a movie like way.

DLT 1,646 Posted March 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 And the search keeps moving more in the direction being speculated here. Question: anybody know what else was on this plane? Could this have been a major heist? The next D.B. Cooper? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
