It may never be found depending on where it went into the ocean. I do understand the need for hope for the family members of the people who were on this flight 370. If it were someone I loved on such a flight, I would never give up hope unless the plane had been found.

The transponder's being turned off is quite interesting. http://www.cnn.com/2014/03/12/world/...der/index.html

Very sad situation. My thoughts are with the waiting families.

In my post # 36 I mentioned if the plane did not fly to its destination. Although very remote this could have been a well thought out hijacking with a remote destination . Now there are others that suspect it may have landed somewhere.

Why with all the technology why do we not have the data that is recorded in the so called black box transmitted thru satellite to a ground station so we do not have to go searching for it.

Also seems like all planes should have some way to track other than a transponder code so it cannot be turned off .

Keep watching...someday both of these ideas will be installed.

very interesting or scary or both that an international incident in this high tech world of ours is treated by the media....all countries, locations, etc.....treat the disappearance with the same manner as many subjects are covered here on TOTV.....lotta theory......lots of opinion....mucho speculation....no conclusion(s)......

and for many issues we are ahead on TOTV because there is much that is KNOWN!

Very soon the media will have to resort to reporting they don't know anymore than they did the last time they talked about it.

Maybe this incident will incent our law makers and the air industries to switch from radar positioning of aircraft to the much more accurate and precise GPS positioning via satellite. If that technology were in place the Maylasian plane would not be missing.

The new technology is far superior. However as is usually the case in industries like this there are political implications, special interest implications, international implications therefore....NOTHING GETS DONE....

The benefits of GPS position has so many safety and economic impacts one would think it to be a no brainer decision........yup just like the Keystone pipeline!!!!!!!

New theory about the flight.

Missing jet: Not a hijacking but 'deliberate' action, PM says - CNN.com

It is my absolutely unsubstantiated opinion that somebody knows where that plane is and just isn't saying. They could be in negotiations for hostages, racing to the area, whatever. That's my feeling.

NY Post, published a few minutes ago....
Malaysian police have already said they are looking at the psychological state, family life and connections of pilot Zaharie Ahmad Shah, 53, and co-pilot Fariq Abdul Hamid, 27. Both have been described as respectable, community-minded men.

Zaharie joined Malaysia Airlines in 1981 and had more than 18,000 hours of experience. His Facebook page showed an aviation enthusiast who flew remote-controlled aircraft, posting pictures of his collection, which included a lightweight twin-engine helicopter and an amphibious aircraft.

Fariq was contemplating marriage after having just graduated to the cockpit of a Boeing 777. He has drawn scrutiny after the revelation that in 2011, he and another pilot invited two women aboard their aircraft to sit in the cockpit for a flight from Phuket, Thailand, to Kuala Lumpur.
