Missing 777

[John -- '02 HAWK]

This could include ‘cloaking’ technology that uses a hexagonal array of glasslike panels to bend light around an object, such as plane

so the 'terrorists' installed glass panels while it was in flight?

In a more radical theory, the possibility of electronic warfare has also been raised following confirmation that there were at least 20 passengers onboard from Texas-based Freescale Semiconductor. Each of these passengers had specialist knowledge of electronic technology for defence applications.
This could include ‘cloaking’ technology that uses a hexagonal array of glasslike panels to bend light around an object, such as plane, according to a report in Beforeitsnews.com.
Other techniques may have been used to jam signals, allowing the plane to vanish from radar detection without its security systems being activated.
‘It is conceivable that the Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 plane is “cloaked,” hiding with hi-tech electronic warfare weaponry that exists and is used,’ Beforeitsnews.com wrote.


‘In fact, this type of technology is precisely the expertise of Freescale that has 20 employees on board the missing flight.’
‘These were people with a lot of experience and technical background and they were very important people,’ Mr Mitch Haws, Global communications officer for the tech company, said.
The company recently launched a major initiative dedicated to serving radio frequency power needs of U.S. aerospace and defence sector.

The infographic regarding the CVR and FDR (black boxes), while pretty, is not entirely factually accurate.

Also, the daily mail is a paragon of disreputable journalism.

If that plane did a 90 degree turn West, who wants to bet it's somewhere in Somalia?

Sky Pirates?

They have evolved.

With the transponder turned off, that son of a bitch could be anywhere really. I'm sure it was loaded with fuel so it could easily travel 650-800 miles in any direction. What is the typical elevation an aircraft that large would have to fly to avoid detection from air traffic controllers or military radar?

Like the Philadelphia project was it? Made an entire ship vanish.

It has a range of 6000 miles.

Primary radar doesn't have a ceiling, really. If there's line of sight, it'll show up.

Correction: Range of 8900 miles. It's a 777-200ER

Good reference

I already made that reference asshole

Oh shit. I wonder if it loaded with fuel when it took off? Damn it could be virtually anywhere but hard to avoid the radar.

Reportedly it had enough fuel for 7 flight hours. Probably could have made it 3500 miles, give or take.

Disclaimer; I've only read page 3 of this. But I heard or read rather, that an oil slick had been found. Is this true?

If it had landed somewhere (not that a 777 can land just anywhere), somebody would know by now. Plus the "group" would be claiming they did it by now.
