March 7, 2014 Malaysia 777 Bound For Beijing Missing Over Vietnam A Malaysia Airlines 777 filled largely with Chinese passengers bound for Beijing disappeared from contact shortly after taking off before it was due to fly over Vietnam. There were two Iranian passengers using stolen passports, but they were soon cleared of any blame. Most believe that the plane was deliberately diverted in a manner avoiding radar and Thailand and Indonesia airspace, and probably crashed on auto-pilot when the engines ran out of fuel somewhere over the Indian Ocean based on satellite signals even though the crew apparently shut off satellite reporting of airplane conditions and location. Some believe the pilots were on a suicide mission to kill themselves and the passengers.
Disinformation: Missing Malaysia 777 Jet Conspiracy Theories Russian and Iran affiliated media including PressTV, Veterans Today, Rense, Matthias Chang, and former Delta pilot Field McConnell are blaming a scenario that the US and or Israel hijacked the plane by taking over the Boeing Uninterruptible autopilot like a drone, and flew it to Diego Garcia
Unconnected similar incident only months before, same type of plane, same airline, same pro-Russian, pro-Iran conspiracy theories blaming Israel or other government : 298 killed in airliner shoot down, likely by Russian backed forces July 17, 2014 Malaysian MH17 777 Airliner Shot Down Over Ukraine A Malaysian Boeing 777 crashed after being shot down at cruise altitude of 33,000 ft by a sophisticated Buk SA-11 missile system, killing all 283 passengers and 15 crew aboard .

Scenarios
- Chinese: 153 of the 239 missing people were Chinese nationals.
- Deliberate: Malaysian authorities have still not ruled out mechanical problems, but say evidence suggests it was deliberately diverted from its scheduled route.
- Hijacked by Uyghur stolen passport passengers - they were from Iran. One passenger was Uyghur artist. Timing suggests attack could be in sympathy with train station stabbing attack, but no solid link other than most passengers were Chinese who have been targeted mostly by armed Uyghur upset over one thing or another.
- Hijacked by Iranian hijackers - thought they were just seeking refuge in Germany or visiting mother, but that could be cover story
- Flown into water after losing contact: no wreckage, but China see seismic event on sea floor, satellites spot possible wreckage, but nothing found there
- Pilots are in control of wayward plane - data system was shut down 20 minutes before losing contact and announcing good night. Then transponder was turned off
- Plane flown along waypoints over Malyasia towards Indian ocean - aircraft radar tracked by Malysia air force and onboard systems indicate plane flew for 4 hours after losing contact
- Plane is at bottom on Indian ocean - un-named US security official speculates
- Terrorism unlikely since nobody has claimed credit - several terrorist attacks such as Air India 182, Pan Am 103 where nobody claimed credit.
- Bomb exploded at loss of contact - new data says plane flew for hours, no confirmed wreckage found
- Plane landed at airstrip - nearly impossible
- Plane landed in water - possible but hard to hide
- Plane crashed into water / scuttled
- Plane hijacked for unknown future use

Her husband’s annual salary was, officially, a modest $70,000. But in Malaysia, if you were the wife of any high government official, if you wanted something badly enough you could, apparently, be gratified with the help of a little looting of the public funds. at least $4.5 billion was diverted and laundered from the fund. Around $680 million is alleged to have ended up in Razak’s personal bank account. government selected the easiest targets to blame for the tragedy, the pilots. They staged a deliberately public raid on the home of the pilot, Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah. Soon after they suggested that Captain Shah had used a flight simulator on his home computer to rehearse a plan to hijack his own airplane. year later the government had to admit that it had found no evidence or motive for either of the pilots to have planned a mass murder-suicide.

New York has obtained a confidential document from the Malaysian police investigation into the ...obtained a confidential document from the Malaysian police investigation into the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 that shows that the plane’s captain, Zaharie Ahmad Shah, conducted a simulated flight deep into the remote southern Indian Ocean less than a month before the plane vanished under uncannily similar circumstances. The revelation, which Malaysia withheld from a lengthy public report on the investigation, is the strongest evidence yet that Zaharie made off with the plane in a premeditated act of mass murder-suicide.
The document presents the findings of the Malaysian police’s investigation into Zaharie. It reveals that after the plane disappeared in March of 2014, Malaysia turned over to the FBI hard drives that Zaharie used to record sessions on an elaborate home-built flight simulator. The FBI was able to recover six deleted data points that had been stored by the Microsoft Flight Simulator X program in the weeks before MH370 disappeared, according to the document. Each point records the airplane’s altitude, speed, direction of flight, and other key parameters at a given moment. The document reads, in part:
actual and the simulated flights were not identical, though, with the simulated endpoint some 900 miles from the remote patch of southern ocean area where officials believe the plane went down. Based on the data in the document, here’s a map of the simulated flight compared to the route searchers believe the lost airliner followed:

The news follows these potential wreckage sites from yesterday:
A recreational pilot in America believes he has identified the wreckage of missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370.
Michael Hoebel, 60, of New York, spent hours trawling through thousands of images released to the public on crowd-sourcing website TomNod.
He came across a piece of debris floating under the water off the northeast coast of Malaysia and west of Songkhla in Thailand which he says perfectly matches the dimensions of the missing aircraft.

A marine exploration company based in Australia claims it may have located the wreckage of Malaysia Airlines flight MH 370 - 3,000 miles away from where authorities have been looking.

According to Australian news Channel 7 News, the Adelaide-based company GeoResonance says its own private research has identified elements on the ocean floor in the Bay of Bengal consistent with material from a plane
search covered 2million sq km of the possible crash zone, using images obtained from satellites and aircraft.
Scientists focused their efforts north of MH370’s last known location, using more than 20 technologies to analyse the data including a nuclear reactor.
According to company spokesperson David Pope, “The technology that we use was originally designed to find nuclear warheads, submarines. Our team in the Ukraine decided we should try and help.”
GeoResonance experts compared their findings with images taken on March 5, three days before MH370 was reported missing – and they did not find what they had detected at that spot.

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-03-10/iranian-stolen-passport-passenger-plot-thickens
Of course, Iran remains a troubled and stifled economy thanks in large part to US-led sanctions and (as The Telegraph notes)
US-led sanctions on Iran have plagued the economy and encouraged many young Iranians, who face high unemployment, to seek ways to travel to Europe, North America or Australia – legally or illegally.
So, to summarize: 3 days ago a Malaysian Airlines jet disappears suddenly leaving no wreckage... the passenger manifest included 2 Ukrainians... and 2 Iranians who were traveling on stolen passports bought for them in cash by a mysterious Iranian known as "Mr.Ali"... who hoped to emigrate to Europe (by way of Kuala Lumpur and Beijing)...
Malaysia has its own history of domestic terrorism. If, for the sake of argument, we're going to rush off and start making accusations that this was a terrorist incident, we shouldn't assume this involves Syria, the Ukraine, Iran, or the Jooos! just because those happen to be hot button issues in America. The motive may well be an issue that is completely irrelevant to your average Walmart shopper.

Iranian Terrorists, electrical fire, suicide, mechanical, uighurs
As soon as authorities became aware that two stolen passports were used to allow two individuals to board Flight 370, one Austrian and one Italian, and that the purchaser of the tickets was Iranian, the world jumped to the conclusion that terrorists had gained control of the plane and crashed it or blown it up. In the following days, however, it appears that the two individuals using these passports were likely just Iranians trying to get into Europe. there’s no history of Iranian animosity towards either Malaysians or the Chinese who made up the bulk of the passengers..
If there is any group that has a motive for attacking Flight 370 it is the Uighur Easter Turkestan Independence Movement. But if Uighur separatists took control of Flight 370 then why haven’t they taken credit? That’s a good question, however they haven’t taken credit for the above mass stabbing either even police identified the 5 attackers they killed as being ethnic Uighurs.

Beyond Uyghur militants or operatives of Jemaah Islamiyah, might there be other terrorist groups with the motivation and capability of pulling off the hijacking of the Malaysia Airlines flight?
It doesn't seem so. If this were a hijacking for political purposes, the hijacking would have been followed by an act designed to send a political message, such as the planes hijacked on 9/11 that were then flown into the World Trade Center and Pentagon.
Or there would be set of demands,

Former deputy CIA director casts doubt on Flight 370-al Qaeda link
Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 likely did not fly over a northern route suspected by some investigators, according to former Deputy Director of the CIA Mike Morell, because it would likely have been detected by the numerous countries the plane would have been forced to traverse.
“A lot of defense radar up there with China and India and the U.S. and Afghanistan,” he said on “CBS This Morning.” “…It’s most likely the southern route.”
Morell said the most interesting thing about this investigation is that “it really seems that somebody took control of this aircraft and flew it for some time after the communications systems were turned off.”

India rejects talk MH370 jet was to be used in '9/11-style attack' against its citiesIndia rejected suggestions Monday that it could have been the intended target of a 9/11-style attack by the missing Malaysia Airlines jet.
As Prime Minister Manmohan Singh promised maximum assistance in the massive hunt for Flight 370, India’s foreign minister said it was vital that the mystery over its fate was cleared up.
But asked by the CNN-IBN network about suggestions that the plane was hijacked with the aim of flying it into an Indian city, Foreign Minister Salman Khurshid replied: “I don’t think we have gone that far.”
The speculation was fuelled by former US deputy secretary of state Strobe Talbott who tweeted that the “direction, fuel load & range now lead some to suspect hijackers planned a 9/11-type attack on an Indian city”.
His comments over the weekend have been widely picked up by the Indian media and Khurshid said people needed answers to allay their fears.

[Is this obvious disinformation that could lead to a state intelligence agency?]The article is long, no doubt, and is a sickening fraud. It demonstrates the degree of desperation which exists within the Zionist cabal regarding its plots for world conquest. Their power is rather astounding. The power-brokers of the United States, India, China, Malaysia, and Australia all heavily participated in the fraud.In some ways it is a waste of time to read such a propaganda piece. Yet, simultaneously the article demonstrates the feeble, if not sophomoric, nature of the Zionist power-brokers and their various allies, as they attempt to cover a mere lie with yet other falsifications.- It is clearly a hoax. There was no such jetliner which disappeared. There were no passengers gone missing. Regarding the relatives of such passengers there are none, only crisis actors, mere fakes, playing the role of people in grief.

The odds are that Muslims hijacked the plane and intended to hold the high-value passengers as hostages pending the release of fellow jihadis locked up in Chinese prisons.
They’ve been down this road before.
If you’ll recall, AQ and its minions have been engaged in a “Breaking-the-Walls” campaign for quite some time.
(That’s its official English title, BTW.)
They’ve had great success in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Getting the 777 back up in the sky is not part of their plan.
BTW, didn’t Muslim air hijacking get started by landing jets in the desert?
And, wasn’t the motive centered around freeing convicted terrorists and murderers from prison?
It sure rhymes.
March 15, 2014 Malaysian #MH370 Pilot Was Political Fanatic For Opposition Leader The Daily Mail uncovered that Malaysia Flight 370 Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah was an ‘obsessive’ supporter of Malaysia’s opposition leader, Anwar Ibrahim. Just before the flight, he had attended the trial in which Ibrahim was jailed for what was widely viewed as persecution over trumped sodomy charges. Although known as a moderate muslim who condemned terrorism, Ibrahim was known to make controversial comments about Zionists, "nasty Jews" and conspiracy theories. B'nai B'rith International, a prominent Jewish human rights organisation had condemned Anwar in a letter to the United States Senate, calling Anwar a "purveyor of anti-Jewish hatred". Anwar promoted a conspiracy theory that Malaysian foreign policy changes were caused by Jews manipulating Malaysia for the United States. The believed that the APCO public relations firm retained by the government was actually a front for Israel that was linked to the "murder of Muslims in Palestine."

Suspicions that the Beijing-bound Boeing jet, which vanished on Saturday with 239 people on board, may have been hijacked or bombed have risen after at least two – four passengers were found to be using stolen passports, though Malaysia’s government stressed it was considering all possibilities.
The four comprise two travelers with European passports, possibly Ukrainian, in addition to two travelling on stolen Austrian and Italian passports, the sources said. Early indications show some sort of a security laps.
The timing of the incident, a week after knife-wielding assailants killed at least 29 people at a train station in the south-western Chinese city of Kunming, led to speculation that militants from China’s Uighur Muslim minority could be involved.
Malaysia, a Muslim-majority country that has courted close ties with Beijing in recent years, deported 11 Uighurs in 2011 it said were involved in a human smuggling syndicate.
The next year, it was condemned by US-based Human Rights Watch for deporting six Uighurs the rights group described as asylum seekers. Human Rights Watch said the six had been detained while trying to leave Malaysia on fake passports.
The BBC reported that the men using the stolen passports had purchased tickets together and were flying on to Europe.
Nearly two years before the Sept. 11 terror attacks, Egypt Air Flight 990 Egypt Air Flight 990 took off from Kennedy Airport bound for Cairo and inexplicably crashed into the Atlantic off Nantucket, Mass., killing all 217 aboard. U.S. investigators determined the relief co-pilot, Gamil el-Batouty, deliberately crashed the plane. Those findings were released just five months before Sept. 11.
Batouty’s last words, according to investigators, were in the form of Muslim prayer in Arabic: “I rely on Allah.” He said it 11 times before the aircraft began its sudden descent from 33,000 feet to 16,000 feet.
The auto-pilot was switched off before the steep dive and both engines were shut off. Mechanical failure was ruled out.

WASHINGTON: Analysis of electronic pulses picked up from missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 shows it could have run out of fuel and crashed into the Indian Ocean after it flew hundreds of miles off course, a source familiar with official U.S. assessments said on Friday......the other, but less likely possibility, was that it flew on toward India
Missing Plane’s Turns Suggest Control of Aircraft
pings evidently came from technology inside Boeing aircraft that transmits a signal to a satellite that even pilots may not know about, ABC News has learned. This system establishes what is described as an electronic “handshake” between the airplane and the satellite.... signal is crude when it comes to location data, so investigators will still be faced with a significant search. The pings occur every hour and ABC News has been told there were four or five of the transmissions. Searchers will use the last transmission to project out in their search. Inmarsat, a British company, said today, "Routine, automated signals were registered on the Inmarsat network from Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 during its flight from Kuala Lumpur."
5:11 PM FIRST ON CNN: A classified analysis of electronic and satellite data conducted by the United States and Malaysian governments shows Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 likely crashed into the Indian Ocean on one of two flight paths, CNN has learned. One flight path suggests the plane crashed into the Bay of Bengal off the coast of India; the other has it traveling southeast and crashing elsewhere in the Indian Ocean, according to the analysis.
Veterans Today - normally obvious conspiracy theory site offers some relatively sane theorieshttp://www.veteranstoday.com/2014/03/13/malaysia-air-flight-370-facts-of-the-flight-and-9-possible-scenarios/...DELIBERATE TAKE-DOWN
This differs substantially from any of the previous possible causes. Reasons for an intentional take-down could include intimidating a particular entity to align or fall behind certain politics of a civil or governmental/semi-governmental entity. Powerful organizations exist that will not hesitate at intimidating or assassinating at will.
It is my opinion, that there are far too many irregularities involved in this incident for it to be a simple aviation accident. Absent a debris field, the most likely scenario, in my opinion, is a commandeering. Toward what end remains to be seen.

One U.S. Theory: Plane's Disappearance 'Act of Piracy'" and thought you might be interested:
examining the possibility the plane's disappearance is "an act of piracy," and that the plane may have landed somewhere rather than crashed, ...The AP attributed the information to a U.S. official who wasn't authorized to speak publicly on the matter and spoke only if not identified. NBC News has not independently confirmed the information....key evidence for "human intervention" in the plane's disappearance is that contact with its transponder stopped about a dozen minutes before a messaging system quit. Another communications system on the plane continued to "ping" a satellite for about four hours after contact was lost with the Boeing 777 during a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing — an indication the plane may have continued to fly on for hours.

UPDATE [10 March]
The two men who used the stolen passports to board the missing plane have been identified as Iranians who had bought the stolen passports in Kuala Lumpur. Their destination was Amsterdam, via Beijing. According to their friend in Kuala Lumpur, they wanted to go to Europe to start new lives.
UPDATE [9 March]:
1) The two tickets purchased using the stolen passports were bought together, with a destination in Europe; thus, they would not have had to get Chinese visas, and the individuals would most likely have been Caucasians to match their passports.
2) One of the passports in question was stolen at a motorcycle rental shop in Thailand
3) Debris has been sighted off the coast of Vietnam which may be a door and the tail section.
4) A pilot in a plane in the general vicinity reported what he thought was a transmission from the missing aircraft's copilot; he described the transmission as sounding like "mumbling"
5) The missing aircraft reportedly went silent and disappeared from radar after climbing to 35,000 feet; if there were a bomb aboard, it could have been set to detonate with an altimeter fuse.
6) Alternatively, given the missing plane's copilot's mumbled transmission, and reports it may have been turning off course, it's possible that a gas agent, such as BZ was connected to the plane's air conditioning system, slowly incapacitating both passengers and crew over a period of two hours.
a) As a Central Nervous System depressant, it disrupts the functions of memory,
problem solving, attention, and comprehension.
b) Higher concentrations produce toxic delirium, destroying a pilot's ability to perform
his flight tasks, resulting in mumbling and inability to function.
c) BZ was used by the Russians in 2002 to capture the Moscow theater seized by terrorists.

theory builds on earlier revelations by U.S. officials that an automated reporting system on the airliner was pinging satellites for hours after its last reported contact with air traffic controllers. That makes some investigators think the plane flew on for hours before truly disappearing.
Aviation experts say it's possible, if highly unlikely, that someone could have hijacked and landed the giant Boeing 777 undetected.
But Denis Giles, editor of the Andaman Chronicle newspaper, says there's just nowhere to land such a big plane in his archipelago without attracting notice...senior U.S. official on Thursday offered a conflicting account, telling CNN that "there is probably a significant likelihood" the plane is on the bottom of the Indian Ocean.
James Kallstrom, a former FBI assistant director, said it's possible the plane could have landed..."You draw that (range) arc and you look at countries like Pakistan, you know, and you get into your Superman novels and you see the plane landing somewhere and (people) repurposing it for some dastardly deed down the road,"

Former FBI agent Chris Voss joins the News Hub to discuss U.S. investigators' suspicions that Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 stayed in the air for four hours after vanishing from civilian air-traffic control radar.comments: why be able to shut down at all?
With as much flight security experience as we have in the world community you have to wonder why there is a need for any pilot to have access to a transponder's operation in the first place..
comment: (Iran did it) The purpose is very clear to anyone with a brain. Those two Iranians using stolen passports was NOT an aberration. Iran commandeered the 777 to use it with borrowed nukes from North Korea to beat Israel to the punch and nuke them out of existence before Israel is forced to do that to protect itself--from exactly this kind of thing. So soon Israel will cease to exist and the world will never be the same again as it will throw the entire world into pandemonium, crash the stock market, etc. In short the apocalypse is upon us and it will happen suddenly and soon. And on Obama's watch the pushover President who is allowing Russia free reigns.

So a terrorist organization lands a stolen Malaysian plane with many Chinese on board in a country that is friendly to their cause, presumably so they can use that plane as a weapon against the US (or similar nation).
Hard to imagine a scenario where a country is willing to willingly put themselves in the cross-hairs of so many different countries. It's one thing to turn a blind-eye to terrorists training in your country, it's another to actively steal a plane full of Chinese and use that plane as a weapon against the US. Politicians usually have a certain level of self-preservation in mind.
And the US and European reaction....no need to worry. All is fine. Even though they clearly knew, just a few hours into the flight, that the plane was stolen?

They are finally figuring out what many of us have known from day 2 when it was learned that people boarded on stolen passports, using one way tickets, through a third party, paid with cash, to go to Europe, but heading in the wrong direction.
The governments and compliant media worked very hard to stamp out any suspicions of terrorism, going so far as to practically "rule it out" before anything was even known about what had happened. That's usually the first sign that there was evil intent.

Could they do this? Absolutely.
Waiting to hear better theories, and I have heard NONE yet.
"If you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth."
Yeah, Israelis stole the plane, by convincing Iranian nationals to board with stolen passports and divert the plane to... where again?
OK then.
When you hypothesize, you might want to start with states that have been supporting the hijacking of aircraft for the past 30 or 40 years.
An Amsterdam albatross, on a solitary flight across the Indian Ocean, may have been the last witness to the journey's end of the last flight of Air Malaysia's Boeing 777. The jet's powerful engines had shut down as the fuel supply ran out and gravity took over. On board the aircraft, the passengers sat frozen in their seats, a forest of oxygen masks hanging from the ceiling, debris everywhere, evidence of the explosive decompression that killed them. Just as with the Learjet that Payne Stewart and his fellow passengers were in that crashed in 1999, the 777 passengers had already passed on before the final moments of their flight. What a grim scene that must have been a few days ago, passengers strapped in the seats, cellphones randomly ringing, with ice on all exposed surfaces, including flesh. Hours early, the 777 passengers had boarded the night flight to Beijing with plans for the future. Now, fate changed their itinerary. As the world searched for the final resting place of the missing jet, that albatross continued winging its way west, oblivious to the cares of the swarm of humanity that long ago had invaded its world high above the ocean below.OK then.
When you hypothesize, you might want to start with states that have been supporting the hijacking of aircraft for the past 30 or 40 years.
--And that is as likely a scenario as any for what happened to the lost Air Malaysia jet.
...As pointed out, unlike Helios:
No malfunctions reported.
Transponders and communications - intentionally switched off - 14 minutes apart. Indicating crew consciousness and intent.
During this time, radio silence.
No distress call.
Flight diverted, not back toward KL airport, but west over the Straits of Malacca, and then northwest over the Indian Ocean. If crew incapacitated, who made these course changes?
No drop to safe altitude (10,000 ft). Instead it stays aloft at 35,000 feet.
Cockpits have emergency bottled oxygen which the crew can use for prolonged periods of time.
Today's flight crews have studied Helios and know how to avoid that situation.
This is not at all like Helios

Military radar data suggests a Malaysia Airlines plane missing for nearly a week was deliberately flown hundreds of miles off course, heightening suspicions of foul play among investigators, sources told Reuters on Friday.

Everything else you hear until they find the aircraft is speculation at best and malicious gossip at worst.
he terrorism trope
In case you hadn't noticed, everything changed after four aircraft were hijacked on September 11, 2001. Terrorism is now constantly on the minds of journalists and government officials. So even when a terror attack is unlikely, as it was with the Malaysia Airlines disappearance, the media will stoke the real or imagined flames of untoward acts. And why not? Raising terrorism fears allows the media to bring on an additional cast of characters: the self-appointed "security experts," former government functionaries and thehateful jihadi alarmists. They all have an agenda to push a terrorist connection because, without one, there's no reason for them to come on television or be quoted. But the overwhelming reality of MH370 was that terrorism was never a plausible possibility. After all, what kind of terrorist takes out a flight over water (no pictures) and then doesn't even claim credit for the dastardly deed?
No MH370 Distress Call, Search Area Widened
Malaysia Airlines has now confirmed that its missing Boeing 777-200ER operating flight MH370 did not send out a distress call or any Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System Messages (ACARS) before it disappeared. “There were no distress calls and no information was relayed,” the airline said in a statement on Tuesday.
UPDATE 5: Malaysia Airlines Flight 370
Malaysia Airlines (MAS) lost contact with Flight 370, a Boeing 777-200 with 227 passengers and 12 crew members onboard, about an hour into its scheduled 6-hr, 10-min flight to Beijing on March 8.

-- so why did the government not release this information right away since loss of contact when plane changes course is what happened in 9/11 attacks - might be total power loss knocking out transponder and radio - but if they were turning back why are they so far off - they ended up almost due west back over the peninsula over the straight nearly in Indonesia --
CNN Breaking News 3:32 edt Malaysian Flight 370 was last detected flying over a small island hundreds of miles from the flight's usual route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, according to a senior Malaysian Air Force official. The official declined to be named because he is not authorized to speak to the media.
If the new data is correct, the aircraft was flying in the opposite direction from its scheduled destination and was on the opposite side of the Malay Peninsula from its scheduled route. Previous accounts had the aircraft losing touch with air traffic control near the coast of Vietnam.
March 11, 20124 Interpol Sees Terrorism in Missing Malaysia MH370 Unlikely Interpol announced as it was revealed that the two mystery passengers as well as the man who bought the tickets in Thailand were Iranians who swapped passports in Kuala Lumpur and used passports stolen from an Italian and Austria to board the plane. "The more information we get, the more we are inclined to conclude it is not a terrorist incident." as one of the mystery passengers identified as Pouria Nour Mohammad Mehrdad was judged to be unlikely to have links to a terrorist group and was probably migrating to Germany. (which makes a pretty good cover story)
Update 3/10/2014
- Passports stolen from Thailand
- Tickets for both purchased at same time
- Tickets for one-way to Europe through Beijing which means less screening
- Tickets purchased by mysterious Iranian man
- Wreckage still not found - airplane probably flown into the water leaving a very small debris patch
- US still saying no indications of terrorism
- Thumbprints and photos of men using stolen passports are being reviewed but not released
- China Netizens blame Uighur
- June 2012 attempted hijacking of airliner from Xinjiang, group of men rushed cockpit with crutch and explosives but were beaten by passengers before they could succeed - this is consistent with scenario of 2 or 4 men breaking into cockpit and crashing Malaysian plane
- The last fatal crash for Malaysia Airlines was in 1995, when 34 people were killed near the city of Tawau. In 1977, a domestic Malaysia Airlines flight was hijacked and crashed, killing 100 people.
BBC makes possible connection to Uighur attacks in Beijing or Kunming railway station:
The second and perhaps more frightening possibility is that an act of terrorism downed the airliner. This incident comes just a week after 29 people were killed in a mass-stabbing in south-western China that authorities blamed on Uighur militants, and security has again been stepped up at transport hubs in China. It is important to stress, though, that no-one has admitted carrying out an attack.
