Assuming a sophisticated hijack one would assume the a/c is on the ground somewhere now, dumping into the sea seems a rather odd statement
Facts:
1 This is terra firma
2 Unless you are a NASA space rocket in active launch mode, what goes up must come down
3 MTOW of MH370 is 297,550 kg.
4 Max range of a 777 200ER is 14,305 km (7,725 nautical miles)
5 largest dimensions of the T7 are 60.9 x 63.7 m
6 Hundreds of humans would know where it is – pax, ground/air crew, atc/radar controllers and so on
Logic says:
1 MH370 kissed terra firma well within the first day of its flight
2 MH370 either used the ocean or a hangar or a crowd of other parked planes to hide.
3 in the former scenario it may never be found. In the case of the latter, who is covering up?
Or am I the only one lost (other than MH370)?
