In reply to the discussion: Search for Missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 Drastically Narrows [View all]doc03
(39,085 posts)5. I watched Bill O'really tonight for the first time in
probably a year. He did a bit on MA370 and claims the other MSM has been distorting the facts on the missing plane. He reports the (facts) as he knows them, it was exactly what I had learned by watching CNN. I gotta give them credit, they are slick, the average Fauxbot that only listens to Faux doesn't know any different. By listening to Faux they are led to believe the other MSM is lying when in fact O'Really just repeated what CNN had been reporting all day. So they just watch Faux for "Fair and Balanced News" and say everyone else is biased.

It is ambiguous and you should admit that. It was a momentary observation documented 3 days later

But if it turned northwest, it would not have enough fuel to end up off Perth

If the Austrailian search is the actual wreckage, then there probably was no turn to the west

There's nothing on those pictures that give "the farthest location reachable with the fuel on board"

How about a L-O-N-G stretch of sand? Not tidy. I'm not talking about an airstrip at all. Just slide.

Sound like the pilot that said it could have been on unmonitored autopilot could be right.

Pilot murder/suicide has been the most probable scenario from the start, imo

For either scenario, you could add that the hijacker could have been injured
