People shouldn’t be worried about the rocket that will reenter Earth’s atmosphere, retired astronaut Scott Kelly twitter.com/i/web/status/1…k5hFu3
It’s normal for some people to experience anxiety as society opens back up, says psychiatrist Dr. Kali Cyrus. Fromtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…ases
The timing for the Chinese rocket reentering Earth's atmosphere has narrowed — but no one is quite sure where it witwitter.com/i/web/status/1…XuMB
Is it possible when the plane turned and passed back over Malaysian airspace, and close to their military base it was shot down? My understanding is the military saw this plane and claimed to be concerned they hadn't done anything about it and that that was going to make them look bad, as bad security on their part. Is it possible the Malaysians have allowed these desperate searches go on, killing the clock on the flight data recorders...knowing they shot the plane down?
How were the two passengers on flight 370 with stolen passports cleared?
is it possible that a Bomb brought down Flight 370? or a sudden decompression by an exit door being opened that would have acted the same as Bomb?
Pilot premeditated terrorism, because someone collected cell phones before takeoff as no one called their loved ones like they said they would, prior to takeoff. Second, knew when to turn off all detection systems. Third, the very questionable turn that happened right after systems were turned off. The pilot was the only one in controls and knowledgeable enough to fly a Boeing 777. Also, the pilot was practicing on his flight simulator and as his own Daughter stated, "Was acting different and very strange." Things mysterious like this should be looked at as terrorism, until proven differently.
I knew you wouldn't post it. Now we know where to go
could it be that the malasian shot down one of their own plane and now trying to cover up by giving us false and contredicting statement to cover themself..???
Did nobody on the ground receive a text, email or cell phone call from any of the passengers aboard the plane? Seems whatever happened, passengers would have become aware, during their 3-5 hour detour, that they were not going to get to Beijing on time and would have tried to make contact with someone somewhere....unless there is absolutely no cell service anywhere throughout that route
Who is Richard Quest and can you please tell him to shut up! The distinguished gentleman and the man to his left answer the question succinct and understandable by average folk. Also the good looking British pilot a d the lady attorney, we are getting too much information, they seem to trim the fat- but RQ gotta go!
Why is it that on America's rail system that the company can detect any actions that the locomotive engineer takes, any change of speeds or change in braking via GPS and other systems that monitor train crew performance and actions taken. But yet on airlines they can only find out what actions were taken only after receiving and reviewing the black box? Seems to me that aircraft should also be equipped with similar tracking and performance equipment. Both trains and aircraft could both potentially cause catastrophic results if used in a destructive manner.
Has Russia offered any assistance/information in the disappearance/recovery of MH 370?
So, the experts say a easily deployed transponder would be about six grand per plane. Seems worthwhile, given the $20 million we've already spent just looking for a sound.
A catastrophic event occurs causing the death of all the passengers, yet the pilot lives. The pilot thinks he could have saved them had he not made a critical mistake. The pilot in his grief decided to end his life and ditch the plane in a remote area, hiding all the evidence. This explains no phone calls from the passengers, turning off all communication devices, altering course and running the plane out of fuel, and ditching the plane.
now that we know the so called ping area???? based on path flight plane took and ended , can we assume the plane tried a soft landing in the water when it run out of fuel . so with that assumption can we get a more accurate height of the plane flight to see if they were trying to avoid radar ?
With regards to radar detection. How low can a 777 fly on auto pilot?
Alternatively how low can a standard 777 pilot manually fly a 777 over several hours?
Over the ocean, away from a radar how low would a 777 have to fly to not be detected for every 1000 miles from the radar
Thanks Ed
I totally agree with Shieldmaiden - Richard Quest need to shut the h_ll up. He knows nothing about aviation, he says nothing original, but he thinks if he says it loud enough, and weirdly enough, and Britishy enough, he'll be respected. RQ is an idiot, and he needs to taken off the air as soon as possible. And let's not forget his meth arrest and bizarre personal habits. I turn off CNN the moment that little zero starts to pontificate, and I'm sure thousands of others do the same.
If the engines ran out of fuel at the half hand shake location, can the stimulator indicate the glide distance of flight 370 until it splash in Indian Ocean, to indicate possible crash site?
Why aren't nuclear submarines being used to search for flight 370?
How long was it between the last time Headquarters heard from flight 370 and they found out the plane was missing?
Do they know how long it was between the last correspondence & the time the plane was reported missing?
Someone did ask this question very early on, and it did make it onto one of your question & answer shows, but the man who was supposed to answer the question went completely off subject and never answered it.
I still don't understand why satellite images can't locate Malaysia flight 370 at its last known location and then follow satellite images as the plane keeps flying?
At the very least, there has to be at least one satellite image with flight 370 in it before going dark, to at least confirm the plane was indeed where they say it was during its route from Malaysia to Beijing.

May possibly I send you a screenshot? In any event, keep up the superior work; I definitely like reading you. 589287
