this is the best theory out there........i posted this earlier in the thread:

http://www.sott.net/article/275646-Was-Malaysia-Airlines-Flight-370-redirected-to-Diego-Garcia

(....to much jubilation amongst the bbc cheerleaders).

i wonder,do you ever read the links you post? It seems you just casually post links you have obviously read from various CT websites,you dont seem to take the time to look at the information you are given objectively.

In the link you posted from an author who claims to be quite knowledgeable on aviation it only takes a few lines of reading to get to this.

"If there indeed had been a massive technical failure, the crew would have tried to safely ditch the plane at sea, not return to Malaysia"

Yes, instead of returning to a safe airport in Malaysia the best option will always be lets go for a sea landing first.

What a load of cock!

Not as much cock as your Diego Garcia theory though...Do carry on though please.

the funny thing about that site's Diego Garcia claim (apart from the matter of fact ditch in the sea), is the first diagram shows an angle that would take you to the Maldives, considerably to the north. never mind such details though.

I can't believe that from hybrid_x when all his other theories are so well thought out and investigated

Still no sign of the wreckage... You think if they could pinpoint the co-ordinates of the satellite pictures, use the time of the picture and forecast the currents of the ocean they'd be able to narrow it down and roughly pinpoint a location.

I just truly hope this isn't a false dawn, must be total hell for the families. Can't grieve unless you know for sure and judging by the press interviews with family members, most seem to think their relatives are still alive. Horrible.

This all comes down to one of my previous posts - we're really not as clever as people believe. You're talking about a tiny object photographed from space in a split second in an ocean of chaotic variable currents, tides, winds etc. It really was always going to be the proverbial needle in a haystack. They are between a rock and a hard place announcing this type of information. They are criticised for holding info. back and for giving false hope.

I doubt they will ever find it

They will find it. It may be beyond the scope of this search but eventually the sea will give up it's secrets.Underwater exploration is getting better and better and in the search for new resources of oil/gas/etc I'm sure the plane will be found on underwater radar at some time in the future. All this is scant consolation for the poor families of the crew and passengers though.

It took about 50 years for them to find a BOAC piston plane that crashed into a mountain in the Andes whilst en route to Chile. Can we wait that long?

They needed that data on the Air France Airbus crash into the South Atlantic to prove why a crashed to prove whether the type was safe. I think the same applies to the 777 (pretty safe up to now) plus the Rolls-Royce engines.

We've explored approx. 5 - 7% of the entire ocean floor, and about 0.5% of the entire ocean itself.

So I wouldn't be too certain it could be found anytime soon.

It may well not be picked up by explorers, more likely by people seafloor mapping using side scan sonar.

Sorry I'll be more precise, we've explored, as in we've mapped, investigated, scanned, etc. 5-7% of the entire ocean floor.

I'm sure there are many people preparing screenplays or novels based upon what might have happened at this very moment.

...and understand where they are concentrating the search is 3 miles deep......

They could release the movie on 1st May - May Day?

3 days before Star Ward Day?

Surely Star Ward Day is 8 May?

They said on Channel 4 news this evening that the flight recorder only captures the final 30 minutes of flight deck dialogue, so **** all point looking for that as the stuff of interest will have happened seven hours earlier.

It doesn't only record voice, though.

Thats the CVR (Cockpit voice recorder) 30 mins is the minimum recording, CAA, FAA, NTSB, AAIB all recomend 2 hours recording.

FDR ( Flight data recorder ) will record all other parameters...ie flying controls, settings , in fact most things that are selectable on aircraft.

35 years aircraft engineer....but no 'expert' like all these oafs on TV
