MH 370: Missing Malaysian Airliner

[Peter Lemkin]

"Radar signals recorded by the Malaysian military appear to show the missing airliner climbing to 45,000 feet, above the approved altitude limit for a Boeing 777-200, soon after it disappeared from civilian radar and made a sharp turn to the west, according to a preliminary assessment by a person familiar with the data.
The radar track, which the Malaysian government has not released but says it has provided to the United States and China, then shows the plane descending unevenly to an altitude of 23,000 feet, below normal cruising levels, as it approached the densely populated island of Penang, one of the country's largest. There, the plane turned from a southwest-bound course, climbed to a higher altitude and flew northwest over the Strait of Malacca toward the Indian Ocean."

.....well, after hearing the 'latest' 'official' 'information' from the Prime Minister of Malaysia, only a few new things were actually confirmed. It seems that:
1] something/someone deliberately turned off the transponder and redirected the plane West and then Northwest.
2] that the plane flew northwest [generally] for several hours and possibly covered one or two thousand Km. Satellite data puts the plane possibly in either of two air corridors - one heading to the southern tip of India; the other headed toward Kazakstan. [I don't believe the plane had fuel enough to reach either end point - but this was the heading, and perhaps these air corridor maps are online].
3] that at some point which the 'authorities' seem to know [but are NOT disclosing] the information from the plane to satellites ceased; but that that doesn't necessarily mean it crashed or exploded at that point - but that is likely.
4] whatever happened to the plane was done deliberately - i.e. was not an accident. The entity, nation, or person[s] involved are totally unknown [or undisclosed].

If a hijacking, it seems to make no sense - unless the hijacker[s] took the plane too high and all lost consciousness and perhaps died due to anoxia - the plane then somehow flying by autopilot the rest of the way. If at least the hijacker was conscious, they are unlikely to have reached any place to land and make demands or ask for ransom. If the plane was under EXTERNAL controls, almost anything is possible.....except I know of no way to refuel a civilian airliner enroute, as they regularly do military flights.....so the plane came 'down' a few hours after the deviation West and Northwest - likely into the sea - although a few islands with landing strips are in the two air corridors. I get the feeling that essential information is still being withheld.

My take on this information, thus far, is that who/whatever endeavored to take the plane off its original course had highly advanced knowledge of the most sophisticated technical systems both aboard the plane as well as external radar systems and satellite surveillance. To me, this leaves only nation states or persons highly trained specifically in both of these fields. Watch, they'll blame it on some old man in a cave without electricity.

Makes one really want to get on a plane, doesn't it! :hock::
