from memory, the Air India bomb quite a few years ago , there was wreakage spotted quite soon and the TWA crash.honestly...I don't know. must look at what happened with other such incidents.

The outright loss of one engine needn't lead to disaster though, and the way it just disappeared from tracking would have to be accounted for somewhere.Maybe it was an engine issue and the aircraft plunge into the sea nose first, one explanation why their is no wreakage found yet and only 2 oil slicks spotted.
Good point, maybe loss of both engines, coupled with a complete electrical faliure, that would expaine the loss of signal, but what are the odds on that happening.The outright loss of one engine needn't lead to disaster though, and the way it just disappeared from tracking would have to be accounted for somewhere.
Is the aircraft's computer vulnerable perhaps, do the means exist for a terrorist(s) to hack into the system either on the ground or during the flight?
Depends on a lot of things, did the bomb cause the jet to disentigrate into a bunch of pieces or just knock it out of the air so it hit the water in on large piece (more or less). Then it also depends on what happened to the piece or pieces when they hit the water (did it sink mostly intact, come apart, a bit of both), the conditions of the water (waves, currents, etc).It may be spread over a very large distance. An explosion at 30,000 feet would see the wreckage spread over miles, which would make finding it more difficult.
or the scousers?Has anyone explored the possibility of an Alien attack yet?
That's what baffles me. How are the stolen passports only coming to light now? Surely they should have been picked up on before they even boarded.Tweet

Yep, And I'd assume they're used by human/drug smugglers more than anything else.Surely there must be plenty of people who travel with stolen and forged passports around the world?
That's what I thought...Lost is coming true?
Is that all the ships in the area mucking in and doing a sweep?https://www.facebook.com/mikitutu
Look at the second picture. There's a picture of ships in the ocean.
Quite likely that's the only reason there hasn't been more irresponsible media speculation along those lines.Surely there must be plenty of people who travel with stolen and forged passports around the world? Terrorists would hardly choose Malaysia as a target. There would have already been claims of acceptance by a group if this was a terrorist attack.
This will be a malfunction of the airline.
Don't think that pic is of the search and rescue boats searching for the plane. Apparently those are pics of commercial ships somewhere else.https://www.facebook.com/mikitutu

Why is there even uncertainty over whether it did or not? On the one hand you've got radar tracking, and on the other the fact that the pilots would have radioed ATC informing them of such a decision [it's not something they'd do on a whim and leave the telling of until later].This gets stranger and stranger, BBC now reporting.
BREAKING NEWS:
Malaysia transport minister: Missing #MH370 airliner possibly turned back.
Whilst you're probably right about the claiming of responsibility and other causes for stolen passports, i don't think it has been wholly unreasonable for an attack of some sort to be considered, the manner in which it jsut vanished from high altitude offered that possibility.Surely there must be plenty of people who travel with stolen and forged passports around the world?

On the reddit news thread there was a few people who had worked on search missions and were saying with the initial darkness in the search and then the time period passed that it is incredibly difficult to find any wreckage. They also said that during searches from the air it is easy for them to fly over the area and miss the debris.I wish there was some sort of picture that put into context the scale of a search like this because I'm sure it is the equivalent of finding a needle in a haystack when you're not even sure which farm it is in let alone barn.
Eh? Where are you getting your info?The main motive for using stolen passports via Malaysia would be human trafficking or asylum. Stolen passports are easily-obtainable in that part of the world, and Malaysia is a hub for human trafficking. Thailand takes a slightly-harder stance (well, they're less-inept) towards this than Malaysia (and Malaysian police are more-easily bribed), so it wouldn't be outlandish to go via KLIA.
Well, it is, mostly inbound (you've seen or heard of illegal workers in Malaysia, and RELA, I presume), but there are a lot of people using Malaysia via transit, too. Just take a look at reports on Human Rights Watch or pages on the UNHCR.Eh? Where are you getting your info?
So there's no illegal workers everywhere else? Especially since you're talking inbound. There's plenty of foreigners and refugees here but saying Malaysia is a human trafficking hub? Well, that's just bullcrap. Especially since the country that you're comparing to is Thailand. A lot of people using Malaysia via transit? Heathrow is the busiest airport in the world, so is it a human trafficking hub?Well, it is, mostly inbound (you've seen or heard of illegal workers in Malaysia, and RELA, I presume), but there are a lot of people using Malaysia via transit, too.
