attento Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 A number of off-topic posts have been deleted along with inflammatory posts and replies. The thread isn't about football and the geography lesson has been given and further posts will be deleted. Stolen passports are a common modus operandi for people smuggling. It's interesting that the authorities at one point said the photos matched the passengers. It's hard to replace a photo on a passport and I doubt the 19 year old Iranian looks like the Austrian guy. How old was the Austrian, by the way? Usually the immigration are involved in the smuggling operation. There role can be rather passive, but they grease the wheel that makes sure the person goes through immigration unimpeded. The passenger transits countries that are unlikely to catch them until they get to their destination. Remember, most countries don't care who is transiting, but they do care who actually enters their country. Terrorists would be very unlikely to use a stolen passport. It's too risky and the chances of getting caught are too high. It's the people smugglers that know how this works. Malaysian authorities have some answering to do. This is how a lot of the people headed to Australia arrive by air. On a more serious note, what happens with regard to any financial settlement for this young man's family? Do they receive compensation? In many countries, there is no compensation as a result of taking part in an illegal activity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benmart Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Germany's loss I'm sure.As well as the loss for the other passengers and families..I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7by7 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 On CNN they still repôrts that the users of the false passports were not Asian men... Iran is of course situated in Africa CNN is American and in America 'Asian' means East Asian; e.g. Chinese, Japanese, Korean etc.. Whilst in the UK 'Asian' means South Asian; e.g. Indian, Pakistani etc.. In both countries, someone from Iran would be described as 'Middle Eastern.'

Hulkster Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I just want to say that I called it! Posted 2014-03-09 16:46:52 The stolen passports could mean something but mean completely nothing. Malaysia lets anyone cross their borders with few questions. Kuala Lumpur is a human trafficking hub. Who knows what these guys were involved in. Then again, they might have been Iranian terrorists. Didn't the Iranian terrorists who blew off their own legs in Bangkok spend time in Pattaya before their failed mission? The guys who blew their legs off in On Nut didn't look like the Mujahideen either... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"His mother, who was waiting for him to reach Frankfurt". She was waiting him in Iran, of course. But....such a meaningful sentense )) 3.

PHP87 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 4 Days and no sign of the wreckage? What if there is no wreckage? With all of those Islands in the S. Pacific used during WW II with airfields and some of those airfields being long, perhaps long enough to land a 777 and also take off on one if the runway were brought up to date with repairs, what if people of bad intents hijacked the plane, flew below the radar to one of these Islands and "disposed" of the passengers? Then they repaint the plane and fit it with a nuke and ship in the remaining amount of Jet Fuel for it to reach it's destination - the West Coast of the US. It would be hard to pull off as they would likely have to fly below the radar the entire trip to avoid detection to avoid being shot down by US military. Just a theory that hasn't been floated in the media yet as no wreckage has been found in a vast but relatively small search area. No distress call, no nothing from the cockpit and an explosion would likely have been seen, even by satellite and would have left parts of the fuselage and wings scattered all over a wide area of the far South Gulf of Thailand between Viet Nam and Kota Bharu. Just throwing it out there. Perhaps it went down in the thick swamps and jungles of Viet Nam at night and no one saw it. If so, it might be under several feet of mud, swamp and saw-grass like the ValuJet that went down in the Everglades in 1996?, but that doesn't explain the lack of radio communications unless we had a "Payne Stewart" type of event which is unlikely since the 777 has so many back-up redundancies that it would have made it unlikely. Then there is another theory. Aliens. j/k 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torrens54 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Tracking the flight and monitoring on board events is VERY SIMPLE. For years, I have been advocating the Transmission of all the information that is recorded in the "Black"...ORANGE BOXES. It could be encoded and transmitted to the Carrier's ground stations and over-written with up dated material every 30 minutes, same as happens with the existing on-board recordings. Then there would be no great problem in obtaining vital information before the Black/Orange Boxes are located. Maybe NOW someone in "Aviation Authority" somewhere, will take notice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerrybuice Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 If you will notice...that the two photos have the exact same legs, feet and luggage! Whoever photo shopped this did not do a very good job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delh Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 <script type='text/javascript'>window.mod_pagespeed_start = Number(new Date());</script> Interesting that Malaysia is defending the two imposters traveling under false passports. If the two imposters were North Koreans seeking to immigrate to Europe then I would find the story believable. However, it’s a bit like how Australians think when they see two-aboriginal people driving a Mercedes; automatically they think ‘’Thieves”. They same thing goes for when the only two Iranians traveling together on an Aircraft are discovered to have fake passports belonging to other nationalities, and it just so happens the Aircraft has gone missing too; automatically you think ” Terrorists”. Would you care to offer something to support your comments on how Australians think when they see two Aboriginals driving a Mercedes please? For the record, I am not Australian. Many thanks.

ebcal Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 If you will notice...that the two photos have the exact same legs, feet and luggage! Whoever photo shopped this did not do a very good job! And not to mention a white line on the photo on the left between the upper half of the body and the lower half, that clearly shows 2 different halves stuck together. Have to question why the Malaysian officials would dummy the photo like that, and in a way so blatantly obvious and that is about as good as a 7 year old trying to do it in 15 seconds. Maybe they felt they had to have full body photos and they did not have one for the photo on the left, so they cut and taped?? It makes them lose credibility and makes them look very unprofessional.

cmiuc Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 (edited) At any point... I think there will be a couple of stories coming out of this... I wouldn't be surprised(whether it be the mass terroism or some wannabe terroist) blew up the plane..given that there was no distress calls... i guess its time to pull out the sub's and sound the "diving" alarm... find that "lil ole black box" They should learn to cloud drive those black boxes. with all this satelite technology out there... a doable situation.. anyone want to start a new biz?
