I had fairly well concluded that the most likely cause was a fire disrupting the electrical and control systems, when CNN now say the sharp left turn was pre-programmed 12 minutes before sign off from Malaysian Air Traffic control, which was followed fairly quickly by that left turn.
CNN claim to have this from an US official, from data sent back before the reporting systems went off. It is hard to know what to make of it: obviously there are large economic interests that much prefer blame to lie with the pilots rather than the aircraft. But if it is true then the move was not a response to an emergency. (CNN went on to say the pilot could have programmed in the course change as a contingency in case of an emergency. That made no sense to me at all – does it to anyone else?)
I still find it extremely unlikely that the plane landed or crashed on land I cannot believe it could evade military detection as it flew over a highly militarized region. Somewhere there is debris on the ocean. There have been previous pilot suicides that took the plane with them; but the long detour first seems very strange and I do not believe is precedented. However if the CNN information on pre-programming is correct, and given it was the co-pilot who signed off to air traffic control, it is hard to look beyond the pilots as those responsible for whatever did happen. In fact, on consideration, the most improbable thing is that information CNN are reporting from the US official.
David Kelly. “Kelly”, wife of Jim Thompson. I recall David Kelly coming up in the al-Hilli thread.
Eric, the investigator in the al-Hilli case, apparently tried to get the U.S. to disinter James Thompson many months ago, but got nowhere. Why? What is it about James Thompson that certain parties do not want known? Surely the U.S. officials would not need the family’s permission to disinter someone if it was part of a criminal investigation or international intelligence matter. They might “inform” the family that this is being done, but I’m not even sure if that is required by law where James Thompson lived.
Speaking of which, Sylvain Mollier’s remains were not cremated. Perhaps there is a reason the family chose burial. Cremation shuts the door on the future.
Have you ever noticed that police sometimes give clever names to criminal investigations? It makes me wonder if the same sort of thing goes on in intelligence circles.

This is a fairly desolate place Mano Dayak International Airport,
it is named after Tuareg leader.
This is to be the new base for the French and U.S.A. drones in The Sahel
(not very far from Areva Uranium operations)
Apparently in Niger, Areva has “Sustainable Development Philosophy”
I suppose it would be a “little” too close for the new drone center to be based at Akokan
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akokan,_Niger
If you go on Google Earth you can actually see the yellow uranium spoil heaps!!!!
Nothing to do with missing aircraft or drones but this is quite interesting

as a relict population of plant eaters, just before going extinct during the
Permian–Triassic extinction event
This creature named after the mining Uranium town Akokan
Q said something about
“amazing coincidence” of names, as in does a name hold an additional importance?
The new French – U.S.A. drone center is to be at Mano Dayak Airport, in Niger.

Quote about Mano Dayak
“He died in a plane crash in 1995,
causing some speculation that it had not been accidental!!!”
On Tuesday,
the Investigators of the Netherlands will be offering their understandings of wtf happened to the Malaysia aircraft which was brought down over an active civil war region of
Eastern Ukraine.
Before they open their mouths, I hope they will take this bit of information into account.
The last known downing of an airliner by rocket, anywhere in the World,
(happened to be full of Israeli citizens flying to Russia) has been acknowledged as having been perpertaited by the Kiev Regime.
Flight UKL4061 from Glasgow-Prestwick to Equatirial-Guinea
who has the “four bodies”
who has THE BLACK BOXES?
We have not forgotten that this has never been mentioned by the BBC
@Michael Norton:
Dominique Pin, AREVA executive banished from Niger in 2007 on acccusations of instigating the second Tuareg rebellion, died in 2011 of cancer. AREVA denied the allegations, and France’s Nicolas Sarkozy called the issue a “spat”. See al-Hilli thread for more.

Bears are out
If you go on Google earth and look at Tamanrasset “International” Airport, you only see one aircraft that looks commercial but you see three French fighter jets plus old military aircraft and military helicopters.
This is the airport that Flight UKL4061 from Glasgow-Prestwick to Equatirial-Guinea,
crashed from, three minutes after take off
and it took them more than 24 hours before they started looking at the site ( apparently)
More than just bears are out:
http://presstv.com/detail/2014/09/09/378165/russia-jets-overfly-canadian-frigate/
It’s a repeat of:
http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/ukraine-crisis/russian-fighter-jet-buzzed-u-s-ship-officials-n79971
Why the 24-hour delay in the search, unless there was fighting in the area that prevented it? They must have known where it went down.
Q
no mention of the BLACK BOXES.
No further mention of the other four “bodies”
There is no way a military base that was only nine miles distant and has French fighter jets and helicopters
that they did not look for more than 24 hours.
I expect the cleaners went in first.
How long did The French take before they apparently were allowed to open the BMW doors at Chevaline?
We believe slight of hand was at play.
If you go on Google Earth and Look at Tamanrasset Airport, you can see the ten hardened fighter
jet shelters to the West of the runway, there seems to be a medium four engined jet can’t make out what it is, then several helecopters and three fighter jets,
it would seem not a normal airport,
oh yes it is an alternative landing site for Space Shuttle
also used by USA military.

So, September 11. Isn’t this when MH370 was supposed to be reappearing?
http://rt.com/news/186812-mh17-report-russia-churkin/
still no mention of the Ukraine fighter jet ( that Russia claims) was adjacent to MH17 when it was downed?
Q have you looked at Tamanrasset “International” Airport on Google Earth
tell us what aircraft can you see?
You would have thought that after twelve days there would have been further mention about the other bodies ( not initially found) at the crash site of the Antonov
Flight UKL4061 from Glasgow-Prestwick to Equatirial-Guinea
also by now they should have said if the aircraft was fitted with Black boxes?
Thanks to EADS Astrium:

We know cargo/transport planes land here. This international airport is not a tourist destination. It is a stopping off point for military fighter jets and helicopters. What’s that on runway 02? What are those aircraft beside the four fighter jets? I can’t tell if the blurry thing beside the helicopters is a drone, or what?
http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/algeria/air-force-modernization.htm
http://www.combataircraft.com/en/Military-Aircraft/Algeria/
How strange that no one thought to go look for the downed Antonov until the next day. It’s flat around there, and they seem to have plenty of expensive, high-tech, military aircraft sitting on the runway.
From wiki:
“In 2010, the oasis town is the site of the Joint Military Staff Committee headquarters for combating Al-Qaeda in Islamic Maghreb. The four-country Committee (Algeria, Mali, Niger, Mauritania) intends to use Tamanrasset to coordinate their military activity in the Pan-Sahel.”

Where is James when we need him?
Q
did you see in the North East part of the “Airport” there is a four engined aircraft coming in to land, the runway is marked 02
the aircraft seems to have a hammer and sickle on its starboard wing?
Probably a trick of the light
The ten fighter jet hardened bunkers would indicate
this is primarily MILITARY

02: Yes, probably a trick of the light, like the roundish blur on its midsection. We know that Algeria has equipped its airforce with Russians fighter jets, but could the markings at 25:02 here be what we’re seeing?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aV2V1TitUiU
25:13 talks about night combat. If some of those night combat helicopters had been deployed to search for the Antonov civilian cargo plane, maybe they would know where the bodies are. Waiting for so long to start the search, any kind of predator could have carried them off.
Q
How long would (a reasonable time be two weeks maybe?)
for the Algerian Authorities,
to inform the world
where are the rest of the bodies from the Ukraine Antonov UR-DWF
which took off from Prestwick Scotland.
It is not as if Ukraine or Scotland is never in the news,
yet SILENCE from the Algerians and the British,
how come the SILENCE?

So it would seem, in Russia at least Antonov has been using Black Boxes
http://www.irkutsk.org/fed/catastrofa/reuters.htm
So does Ukraine Antonov have BLACK BOXES?
In 1985 a Ukraine (U.S.S.R. Antonov) operating out of Crimea was brought down over Africa by South African Forces using SAM
