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.
But why would the M.O.D. lie
and say it was commercial?

@MN: It could be that the Halifax pilots just weren’t very good at visual landings in blizzard conditions. Maybe they should have skipped it and landed somewhere else.
I know nothing about piloting
but would have thought they have to practice for bad weather /blizzard conditions,
I mean, snow blizzards can’t be unknown in Canada?

ROLLS – ROYCE to power Word’s largest jetliner
Rolls-Royce has received its largest order to date, worth £6.1bn,
to supply engines for 50 Emirates A380 planes.
It will be the first time the engineering giant has made engines for the Gulf carrier’s super-jumbo fleet.
makes sense,
most crashing planes
do not have Rolls – Royce engines.
@Q Dr Bobby and Krill in this thread talking about the contrail analysis .

Could we possibly rename this thread ” Disappearing Vessels ” so we can include the various ships that disappear somewhere between Libya and Italy for instance (they dare not cruise towards FRANCE yet)?
There certainly is a conspiracy behind all this. I’m ready to believe that some secret services are involved. Maybe TV should provide some background on Libyan factions, their links with Mossad, MI6 and CIA.
Did the Al-Hillis have any relatives in Libya?
I think we have enough to deal with in the plane department are there boats going missing as well?
You bet. Just follow the magic pings and contrails.

@MN: What will Georesonance say about this crowd funding effort in the Bay of Bengal? Remembering that they have never said it definitely is MH370.
Waiting for Georesonance to post a news release to its website, stating that they are willing to put some money into the Bay of Bengal search. Obviously they have already invested time and resources into making their claims about the anamoly.
I hope this search is not a scam.
