Anyone know if the airport saves the security scans of the checked and carry on baggage? If yes, I surely hope someone has been reviewing them for any abnormalities...
I read that at the time this flight departed only two X-Rays were working. All carry on was screened, no cargo was screened.
If this turns out to be true, it will bring a whole new field of guesses as to what happened.
Is luggage carried into cargo usually screened on flights? It'll be nice to debunk all those silly theories a lot of my older relatives have about how to smuggle back things from abroad. One of my aunts heard from all her friends and now believes that you can wrap things in aluminium foil to foil the X-Ray and that luggage she checks in isn't checked. I've tried to explain how the density of a paper thin sheet of aluminium won't do anything but old immigrant people don't understand science.
If this plane went down in the Indian ocean I have my doubts the main wreckage will be found. Bits and pieces might wash up but there is such a huge area to cover in the next three weeks before the boxes stop pinging. At least with Air France the investigators had a pretty good idea where it ended up and it still took years to find the main wreckage.
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.
The investigation into missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 has included a probe of the plane's two pilots, but Malaysian authorities said today they have yet to search their homes.
...
Police have been stationed outside of his (Captain's) home since the plane disappeared a week ago, but have not searched his home, according to Malaysian authorities.
I'm very surprised that nobody has physically checked the houses of the pilots yet.
There could be tons of info inside (suicide note on his computer, history of what he "practiced" on the simulator, etc etc.)
Why the ef wouldn't they make searching their homes a top priority?

Your don't really believe that they sat outside their houses for 6 days waiting for them to come home do you? By now they know the pilots favorite foods, tv shows and porn sites.
The Malaysian's have shown the don't exactly tell the truth much to the media

Their record has shown, if anything, that they are completely incompetent, which is why I do indeed actually do give this some belief
Edit: I hope you're right, for sure. And would like to think (in this case) that someone NSA was already in their house electronically to scope out the computers and stuff.

That's just one link. I've read dozens but I didn't save any others tbh, but if you search "Freescale Conspiracy", you'll find enough to keep you reading for quite a while.

And yes...I know I posted a fox related article. Ugh

Reason: to add one more link
Investigators have concluded that one or more people with significant flying experience hijacked the missing Malaysia Airlines jet, switched off communication devices and steered it off-course, a Malaysian government official involved in the investigation said Saturday.
No motive has been established and no demands have been made known, and it is not yet clear where the plane was taken, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to brief the media. The official said that hijacking was no longer a theory.
"It is conclusive," he said.
The Boeing 777's communication with the ground was severed just under one hour into a flight March 8 from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. Malaysian officials have said radar data suggest it may have turned back toward and crossed over the Malaysian peninsula after setting out on a northeastern path toward the Chinese capital.
Earlier, an American official told The Associated Press that investigators are examining the possibility of "human intervention" in the plane's disappearance, adding it may have been "an act of piracy."
While other theories are still being examined, the U.S. official said key evidence suggesting human intervention is that contact with the Boeing 777's transponder stopped about a dozen minutes before a messaging system on the jet quit. Such a gap would be unlikely in the case of an in-flight catastrophe.
The Malaysian official said only a skilled aviator could navigate the plane the way it was flown after its last confirmed location over the South China Sea, and that it appeared to have been steered to avoid radar detection. The official said it had been established with a "more than 50 percent" degree of certainty that military radar had picked up the missing plane after it dropped off civilian radar.
Why anyone would want to do this is unclear. Malaysian authorities and others will be urgently investigating the backgrounds of the two pilots and 10 crew members, as well the 227 passengers on board.
Some experts have said that pilot suicide may be the most likely explanation for the disappearance, as was suspected in a SilkAir crash during a flight from Singapore to Jakarta in 1997 and an EgyptAir flight in 1999.
A massive international search effort began initially in the South China Sea where the plane's transponders stopped transmitting. It has since been expanded onto the other side of the Malay peninsula up into the Andaman Sea and into the Indian Ocean.
The plane had enough fuel to fly for at least five hours after its last know location, meaning a vast swath of South and Southeast Asia would be within its reach. Investigators are analyzing radar and satellite data from around the region to try and pinpoint its final location, something that will be vital to hopes of finding the plane, and answering the mystery of what happened to it.
The transponder turning off at the transition between Malaysian and Vietnamese airspace would either be the smart move of someone stealing the plane, or a lucky coincidence.
Investigators have also examined data transmitted from the plane’s Rolls-Royce engines that showed it descended 40,000 feet in the span of a minute, according to a senior American official briefed on the investigation. But investigators do not believe the readings are accurate because the aircraft would most likely have taken longer to fall such a distance.
“A lot of stock cannot be put in the altitude data” sent from the engines, one official said. “A lot of this doesn’t make sense.”
