This is of course quite true, but it would not account for the AC vanishing off radar suddenly. They can turn off the transponder beacon but the plane would still be showing on radar....?Originally Posted by Sailing into trouble

Wow name calling....big man
My wife is Asian...I tell a lie just divorced the bitch, as well and maybe you should try and read what I have written. I have stated that the obvious place to start would be the area that the plane was last spotted on the radar. I never stated that they should never in the entire investigation not widen the search, I just think they have been a little quick in that widening. Andaman sea after 48hrs.......seems a bit quick to me.
Anyway it is difficult to discuss because of the limited amount of information we are being given.
by the way, bad day ?

Mystery fake-passport holders on flight MH370 were Iranian, says a BBC report
Mystery fake-passport holders on flight MH370 were Iranian - Telegraph
A BBC Persian report says that the two Iranians on the Malaysia Airlines plane had bought the fake passports in order to migrate to Germany and Denmark
The two men travelling on stolen passports on the Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 that mysteriously disappeared on Saturday have been identified as Iranian nationals.
A BBC Persian report quotes an Iranian friend of one of the men, who said he hosted the pair in Kuala Lumpur after they arrived from Tehran in the days preceding their flight to Beijing.
The friend, who knew one of the men from his school days in Iran, said the men had bought the fake passports because they wanted to migrate to Europe.
The pair were travelling on passports belonging to Christian Kozel, an 30-year-old Austrian, and Luigi Maraldi, a 37-year-old Italian.
They had bought the passports in Kuala Lumpur as well as tickets to Amsterdam, via Beijing.
One of the Iranian nationals' intended final destination was Frankfurt, where his mother lives, while the other wanted to travel to Denmark.
The same source that spoke to BBC Persian also emailed CNN with a photograph of him posing with his two friends in the days before they embarked on their fateful trip.
An editor at BBC Persian told The Telegraph that the two Iranians were “looking for a place to settle”.
Both Malaysia and neighbouring Thailand, where the passports were originally stolen, host large and established Iranian communities.
US-led sanctions on Iran have plagued the economy and encouraged many young Iranians, who face high unemployment, to seek ways to travel to Europe, North America or Australia – legally or illegally.
Just because they are searching in the Andaman sea, that doesnt mean that they have stopped searching in the Thai gulf.
There are a large amount of different people involved in the search , and they have the ability to search everywhere at once , rather than everyone all just looking in the same place
Would it be possible for the aeroplane to continue flying , undetected by radar ?
Tickets bought in Pattaya according to Bangkok Post.
Thai authorities have discovered that the tickets of two people who travelled on Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 using the stolen passports of an Italian and an Austian were been bought together from two...

Well, we're closing in on the answer to the mystery holders of the stolen passports. They had Asian features; they did not have Asian features. They were black/African football players; they were Persians.
Why don't the Malaysians just man up and admit their CCTV cameras weren't working?

"Hand over $ xxx,xxx,xxx or we send one of your planes to the bottom of the ocean"
If the money isn't paid the threat becomes real.
No airline is going to admit that it could have prevented an incident like this by handing over money but you can bet the Board will be receiving a visit from Interpol, especially since the price of preventing a second one will be that much higher.
I see fish. They are everywhere. They don't know they are fish.

The planes are blown up over water to prevent the authorities figuring out how it was done. That makes it all the easier to do it again.
Just read this on a CBC site.
"The search area for a missing jetliner has expanded with Malaysian Airlines saying the western coast of the country is now the focus of the hunt"
That is on the other side of Malaysia from where flight MH370 was reported missing.
In a statement Tuesday it said the hunt had expanded beyond the flight path, and the "focus is on the West Peninsula of Malaysia at the Straits of Malacca."
So there you have it....the straights of Malacca.....but no hint as to why they think it went there....?????

Iranian ladyboys heading to germany - understandable why everyone is confused
They are one of the worlds busiest shipping lanes. Surely debris would have been spotted there.Originally Posted by koman
You would think so....but nothing much adds up in this whole story. They did not say why the search was shifting focus to that area....and the only thing that I can even begin to guess at, would be that if the AC did a U turn and flew on a reciprocal course it could eventually end up somewhere in that area..... There is no explanation offered so it's anybody's guess....
Does anyone here know of anyway at all a plane could continue flying without being spotted by radar and how low would you have to fly to be below radar...is there such a thing or is this just a Hollywood thing.
So they plane flew back over it's own country and nobody noticed...................
Apparently:
"Where the Malaysian plane was flying, the signals are picked up by sites only once a minute and only at a plane's cruising height above 29,000 feet. So a dramatic loss of altitude could conceivably also see a plane drop off their radar but potentially continue to travel for some distance."
Malaysian Airlines plane mystery: how can a flight disappear off radar? | World news | theguardian.com
Paragraph entitled - How does a plane simply 'disappear off the radar'?
Can't see how that's right.
Comparisons are being made with Adam Air 574 which crashed in 2007.
It was one week before wreckage was discovered underwater; 11 days before floating wreckage was found.
Three weeks before the FDR and CVR were found.
Pointing a radar in a given direction doesn't mean you have a ground to vertical infinity picture. It's a focused beam, more akin to waving a floodlight around.
Further, depending on the purpose of the radar, signals processing can be used to filter out and omit unwanted coverage.
As I would imagine but do the Navy know the identity of the aircraft? I would have thought the Navy wouldn't need to unless they needed to talk to the crew otherwise it just an unidentified aircraft as far as their concerned. Although they would see where it crashed on radar that is already known - unless the world is being deceived which it might be as you say. My reference to night meant that little if any thing would have been seen visually from land or a ship (possibly).
