Interesting article. But if the plane had, in fact, gone into a holding pattern before continuing on, witnesses would have reported it. Witnesses reported seeing the plane pass over a certain island in the Malacca Straight, Indonesians reported it passing overhead in the vicinity, and so forth. No one reported it circling repeatedly, that we know of.
But we'll see what else he comes up with.
My feeling is that 'circling' was misused in that link. The quote from the link stated: "He says the plane was put into a holding pattern for around 22 minutes near the coastline of Sumatra, an Indonesian island, reports AirlineRatings." And as you look at the 'pings' charted with his data, it looks like just one 22 minute circle and not repeated circling.
Of course, the question will still be if the 'new' information leads us to a closure? He, the engineer, was supposed to have the final location information by yesterday. We will have to wait and see if any new details arise and if they will reopen the search from that information.
That won’t satisfy them. Because if you can plant a wing, you can plant sneakers and other plane parts.
It’s like the 9/11 conspiracy. They just keep coming no matter what you point out. Even though I know people who were at the Pentagon on that day.
How likely is it that the "Eyes in the sky" satellites are not able to monitor the worlds oceans for incoming missiles? Incoming to the USA or to the allies of the USA. Even China and Russia probably have satellites which monitor the airspace 24/7 for incoming missiles. So...why cant we know where this plane went down? Probably because countries do not want their enemies knowing what their capabilities are.
Either someone is not telling the truth or technology is far worse than we thought it was.
At the time, there was a lot of foot-dragging about the release of the flight cargo manifest (see the AboveTopSecret thread on this). Then it turned out when they released it, there was nothing "interesting" on that flight. Maybe there WAS something "interesting" on that flight. As an aside, gold is often moved around from place to place on aircraft, but I dont think it was gold which was the interesting cargo.
My own intuition and gut feeling lead me to believe in pilot suicide as well.
The fact that his simulator at home showed a scenario of heading out into the Indian Ocean until the fuel ran out speaks powerfully to that, needless to say.

Holy catfish! I didn't even know that. Now I am 100 percent convinced.
Pilots often 'play' with flight simulators at home and if they are passionate about flying, then they explore different scenarios.
If you wanted to point to the pilot being the cause of this tragedy then you would naturally want to show he was thinking about such a possibility before the event. As evidence for this, there are so many convenient clues to all the huge mysteries from the shooting of JFK to other more recent events. But, of course, it happens just like in the movies and TV shows. The detective gets the right guy in the end.
Nothing to see here folks, it is obvious what happened. The butler did it. Now move along.
And he had the flight plan to land on Diego Garcia. Which was where direction wise the plane was headed when it was last seen by witnesses in The Maldives at a very low altitude. And where debris found indicated it went down.
Ditched at sea close to Diego Garcia. Had they only looked there initially they'd have found it and the black box. Instead they faked a search way too far to the east.

I wouldn't call it a fake search. A lot of time and effort went into it, and didn't a private company do their own search after the "official" one? My memory's fading on that, but I remember that initially, they didn't even know which direction the plane had gone in, after it passed over Malaysia heading west: they were saying it could have gone anywhere along a certain arc: either toward Pakistan, perhaps skirting the Himalayas, or southward into the southern Indian Ocean. There were rumors it could have landed either in Pakistan or in one of the ex-Soviet "stans": Kyrgyzstan bordering the western end of the Himalayas, as I recall.
They spent a lot of time scrambling to figure out the direction of the plane. Eventually they settled on a southern trajectory.
He had the flight plan to DG? Where did that tidbit of info come from?

I hope they are right, but the article is still a little confusing. If the information is correct we might be able to finally close this mystery without the help of aliens!

I had a hard time understanding the article. It reads like a rough translation from some other language. Could you explain what it's saying? There was a breakthrough someone (?) made, by tracking .... what? And what technology was used? Why wasn't this used before, is it something new? Who is this guy claiming he's made a breakthrough?
And if someone in the Oceanography Dept. of an Australian university "knew" where the best search location was, or had a theory, why didn't the Australian team look there? There was an Australian search company that joined the effort, IIRC.

Here is another link to the same engineer's story: https://www.theweek.co.uk/news/world...aysia-airlines. In that link, that was posted on the 6th of this month, I quote: "The area he now believes the plane crashed is a 40 nautical mile radius.....". Hopefully, that will head searchers into the right area.
PS Merry Xmas!
