The Boeing 787 Dreamliner has turned out to be a piece of crap, but that’s not the case with the Boeing 777. The 777 has turned out to be a safe airliner, which makes the ‘crash’ of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 mysterious.
Making that flight even more mysterious is the fact that three so called passengers were found alive and well in their home countries of Australia, Austria and Italy. They all reported their passports had been stolen while in Thailand. The Aussie had his passport stolen in 2012, the Italian had his stolen just last year, the Austrian also had his passport stolen in 2012.
Flight MH370 left Malaysia for China, but while over Vietnam radar contact was lost. A search was launched over the disputed South China Sea (disputed by every country in the region, and the United States, and is the main reason Obama ordered the shifting of 60% of USN forces to that part of the Pacific).
Vietnamese search aircraft report seeing a 14km (nine miles) long ‘oil’ slick off their coastline, about 144.8km (90 miles) south of Tho Chu Island.
MH370 was carrying 227 passengers and 12 crew. The passenger list shows 154 were Chinese, 38 Malaysians, seven Indonesians, five Indians, five Aussie, four French, two Ukrainians, two Canadians and two Kiwis. There were also a Russian and a Dutch citizen, as well as the three bogus (false flag) passengers claiming to be from Austria, Italy and Australia.
The last time an airliner “disappeared” from radar without a trace and without explanation was Air France flight 447, in 2009. It crashed in the mid-Atlantic Ocean. The wreckage was finally found, and investigators say the black box recorders revealed there was a malfunction with the Airbus A300-203’s avionics, caused by pitot tubes (exterior sensors) getting filled with ice. Basically the computers malfunctioned, the pilot and co-pilot misinterpreted what was going on and ended up stalling the plane.
