The sattelite data has CONFIRMED dat the bogeing 777 ended up in Southern Indian ocean. The announcement was made on those stats. Its true. maybe there is conspiracy somewhere.. But its not only malasyian govt. that is involved in the whole operation. The countries from all over the world are conducting search operations and helping out. So conspiracy being involved has only a lil chances. Also wen there were many chinese passengers onboard flight mh370.
Chinese are denying the stats though.. they want proof. Lol typical chinese.
I take issue with the method Inmarsat used to 'track' the satellite transmissions of MH370.
For starters, it's never been used, and the equipment they are using was not designed for the purpose of tracking (as evidenced by the fact they cannot determine whether the aircraft flew North or South).
The other major problem is the disconnect between the projected 'corridor' the aircraft flew and the known flight/radar data.
If Inmarsat were dealing with hardware designed for analyzing electromagnetic emissions for the purpose of tracking - I would be more apt to accept their conclusions. Right now, their claims sound more like technobabble than physics. You don't get much in the way of Doppler Shift from an aircraft flying tangent to its emissions.
Don't get me wrong, with today's radars and ELINT systems, you can do some clever and awesome stuff to milk data from so much as a single speck of noise (particularly combined with the explosion of digital processing power since twenty years ago). But we're talking about a communication's satellite, here. I would wager that most of their data regarding Doppler shifts and frequency bands is all extrapolated from data logs that were not structured to record such data.
It's clever, and I applaud their efforts - but it's hardly anything to draw conclusions off of (particularly considering the plane could be in Kazakhstan or Mainland China... which is particularly interesting if you consider the implications of FreeScale Semiconductor department heads all being aboard this aircraft and China having access to the passenger manifests).
To run with the above theory a little farther:
Suppose the aircraft were hailed on short wave by its new 'escorts' - Chinese fighters. The pilot is instructed to turn off his transponder and proceed according to instructions. After flying a few odd courses to confound efforts to reconstruct the aircraft's course from intermittent contact with ground radar - they land somewhere in Northern China.
Congratulations. China just advanced its electronic warfare capabilities by over a decade.
What does not follow in the case of a pilot suicide is the aircraft's course changes followed by flying until (allegedly) the fuel runs out. While the argument can be made that suicide is irrational and therefor those who commit it are not going to behave rationally - it certainly does not fit the profile of suicidal behavior.
What does not follow in the case of a terror plot is the notable lack of terror. There aren't really any groups claiming "Yay! See!? We did it! We'll do it to you, too!" That... and the fact that the aircraft just kind of ... flew along.
There are a couple ideas that fit - one being a hijacking (internal or external) with the goal of deceiving attempts to track the aircraft (land it and let the aircraft's engines run for a few hours to **** with our heads). While satellite data could be collected and compared to flight records - it is unlikely this would be done in a timely manner. And if the deception works - no one will expend the effort to scour through pictures of airports in the off chance that an airplane was caught landed in a place where it shouldn't be (since most satellite images will not reveal features unique to MH370).
An alternative theory that fits is an attempted hijacking where the pilot and copilot fought, the cabin depressurized (or ascended above the cabin's ability to compensate), and both were mortally wounded. The surviving individual (allegedly the good one) set the plane on a stable course and put it back into altitude hold before expiring, hoping that passengers, crew, etc survived to recover from hypoxia and go about solving the problem of imminent death (although why couldn't he call an emergency or turn the transponder back on?).
Or maybe the plane never took off to begin with:
