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.
NotForgetting will be happy to note the prominent “Rafale” logo in the video. It’s just there.

Pink, you don’t have to blush. It’s Ok to bash the FRENCH. They deserve it.
Hitting a Pole! They just can’t fly.
Arms trafficking and drug trafficking are often different parts of the same equation.One is the end goal, while the other is the means.
Ocean cleaning operation casts doubt on whether search for MH370 is in the right place: Volunteers in Tasmania say wreckage would have washed up from that area by now
Volunteers have been cleaning a 60-mile stretch of the Tasmanian coast
They gathered 80,000 pieces of rubbish – some as small as a grain of rice
But so far there has been no sign of any debris from doomed flight MH370
Volunteers say this is impossible if jet crashed in the current search area
Suggests investigators could be looking for the aircraft in the wrong place …

@Pink re off piste again:
Gaping holes in the official story in this case are big enough to fly a Boeing 777-200ER through.
Pink, this is beyond farcical!!!
And that moron actually delivered a book called: “How America Was Lost “?
Bon appetit, as they say in FRANCE.

So that’s how it disappeared: thru the gaping holes of a suitcase (or vanity case?).
Very clever. Wonder if the Australian investingation team will ever find out. Unless they request FRENCH assistance!
Personally I don’t mind people coming at a problem from many angles
I am happy to filter what I don’t like ,I do get frustrated at sites like pprune when they delete so much, I would rather see people who know their job debunk what does not fit or show where there is an error in someones thinking .
I don’t know if you have come across Alex Siew and his lightening theory now banned at Jeff Wise,he seems to keep getting into hot water on MH370 sites but doesn’t seem to let it discourage him I have no idea if he is right or not I just note his tenacity.
http://tmfassociates.com/blog/2014/09/26/further-statements-on-mh370/
Alex Siew’s theory is LIGHTNING, but it’s not ENLIGHTENING. Even the English language can be tricky, let alone flying an airplane. Better study FRENCH!
LIGHTNING ,got it 🙂
Lightning? How about sprites or ELVES? Better check your Roget’s, or Barrington-Leigh, as the case may be.
Next theory: maybe it was a Taranis-
aurus rex.

That FRENCH plane was flying from Barcelona and ended up crashing in FRANCE near the town of Barcelonette!!!
What are the odds? Can this be a co-incidence? No sound mind would believe this. The message is clear. But will the French tell the truth? Will they disclose all the ACARS messages, pings and partial handshakes? Or will they say “the a/c was on autopilot and got struck by lightning”?

What about Webster? Just in case.
” Next theory: maybe it was a Taranis-

Another air tragedy in France.RIP.
Witnesses have described hearing an explosion ‘like the sound of dynamite’ then seeing fighter jets fly past, suggesting the passenger plane had been under military escort.
