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.
In haste……… a plane has crashed off Grand Canaria, according to SKY & BBC news just coming in now….no airline mentioned.
Ooops they are now saying it’s a SHIPWRECK !!!

Katie – It was 737, thankfully I speak the lingo, here is a link with long distance picture,

Strawberry, thank you.
Another plane crash? Er, no its a boat!!!???

Is it a boat, is it a plane? ,,,, no, it’s superman on a surfboard 🙂
I don’t know if anyone has been trying to see a connection to the 2 former Seals who died in late Feb of a heroin overdose while on duty off the coast of Africa (actually while in port)
They were rumored to have just delivered a mysterious package, and I thought there must be some disparate data on MA flight schedules. So far, no good. Filtering through is daunting.
Thanks Donald, I took it to Bing for translation.
That’s what I call irresponsible reporting & doesn’t it just show how jumpy people are about planes at the moment !
Ben I’ve seen references to those seals, someone was trying to say they had been involved with cargo for MH370.
There’s so much of this mystery streaming onto Twitter it’s difficult to filter it , if I see it again I’ll bring it here.
A vacuum loves to be filled and many are using a Schrodinger’s Cat parallel to the missing passengers.
Implying what, without overtly expressing…Quantum Mechanics?
Ben – The seals in question were guarding a ship which has as its main duties the job of delivering food aid to West Africa, currently suffering from an Ebola outbreak.
The false passport racket originates from West Africa, namely a country next door to where the outbreak is occurring, although since those days it appears the virulent strain of the virus has spread across three nations.
So is it possible they suspected one of the passengers had an advance stage of the virus and was now on the plane spreading it to all the passengers in the seal environment of the plane? Did the plane itself get contaminated?
Apparently one cannot touch the bodies or anything they came in contact with which would explain why every excuse imaginable for the plane not to be found has just happened to have happened.
The rest of the stuff, planes to Diego, over the Maldives, false radar data and so on could well be a smoke screen
Katie; Coincidentally, there are the two FBI hostage rescue guys present for the Boston Bombing, who died mysteriously in an exercise…”falling from a chopper”.
That happens every day.
To make for more triangulations, the Seals were also on a sniper team assigned to the Boston Marathon.
Weirder and weirder.
Katie; I hadn’t considered bioweapons, or chemical for that matter.
Wheels within wheels and information headquarters is at the bottom of Deep Blue.
I saw a news report yesterday showing how the ocean currents are monitored by little bots with GPS. More have been sent into the ocean in the search for the debris from MH370. I had no idea the bots were out there as part of standard ocean monitoring.

Surely the Ebola vaccine will become more of a priority now.
Q – What if the nation that develops the vaccine first decided to keep it and then use the virus as a bio-weapon? So yes, I dare say a vaccine is now as much a priority as nuclear research was during World War 2.
After all, they say chemical and bio-weapons are a poor nation’s WMD so if the terrorists were to gain a vaccine first then they would be on a par with nukes and could make any demands they wished.
Pandora’s Legion by Harold Coyle and Barrett Tillman
“When a convert to Islam turns up at London’s Heathrow Airport with a lethal and highly contagious disease, epidemiologists backtracking his itinerary uncover a jihadist plot to send biological time bombs among the infidels to spread disease, death and disarray”
Crikey!, I’m really scrapping the bottom of the barrel now 🙂
The Daily Mail is doing a wonderful job of maintaining public calm and sanity by announcing that Ebola could now be “airborne”
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2233956/Could-Ebola-airborne-New-research-shows-lethal-virus-spread-pigs-monkeys-contact.html
Let’s face it, if we were terrorists surely we’d have the intelligence to go the bio weapon route rather than try to get bombs or nuclear stuff past security at an airport.
Smallpox would be the one I’d go for, a small vial in my lipstick tube,to be used in a crowded place or on a jumbo………..job done.
The British government have been monitoring hundreds of our scientists for this reason. Needless to say many of them are British but not from British stock.
Quite worrying really.
A small proven fact:
“…..The US technological company, Freescale Semiconductor, who shared its rights with Rothschild, had twenty senior members on board who had just launched a new electronic warfare gadget for military radar system’s the day before the plane went missing. …….”
All the big boys involved in the design of this new electronic warfare gadget as well as four other passengers who were the patent holders for the gadget were on board the doomed flight.
So if we’re looking for a motive how about the fact that these men had in their brains an ultra secret technology the west did not want to share with the Chinese?
Here is the article, I think it author concentrates too much on the financial side of the gadget and fails to realize its importance as a national security.

Donald; The Blackstone folks own TRIDENT, the security firm on site at Boston Marathon as well as the employer for the 2 dead Seals. Blackstone is the major shareholder for Freescale.

BTW; Freescale hit a 52-week high (DowJones) on March 7.
Ben – The plot thickens, Far too many roads leading to Rome
Sorry for the duplications, but many don’t bother reading the whole thread.
Cui bono? I think the Freescale 20 make the strongest case for motive.
Even though the Iranian defector seems to have some creds, Iran is the fall-guy, again.
The Beirut CIA chief and staff seems the most logical target on Lockerbie, as well.

From my link;
“Soros is involved in the Macedonian mobile phone company MT via “Stonebridge Communications” company, in which he has stocks. Incidentally, MT is indirectly controlled by the Rothschilds through**** “Blackstone Group*****”, a major financial-investment group which was founded in 1985 by their agents Peter George Peterson and Stefan Schwartzman (a Khazar). Both of them had previously made careers in Rothschild branch offices “Lehman Brothers” and “Kuhn Loeb Inc.”. Blackstone group is the leading stockholder of “Deutsche Telekom” (T-Mobile), which also incorporates the Hungarian mobile phone company Matav – the owner of the Macedonian mobile phone company MT. “T-Mobile” is the second largest mobile phone company in Macedonia.”
