Interesting theory for a movie plot. However, it's still riddled with holes and stuff that don't make sense. If the perpetrators knew that much about accessing the Satcom Units and the BFO spoofing to send us down the wrong path, couldn't they have simply bludgeoned it and ripped the thing apart to stop transmitting altogether? Saves time and the sophisticated work that went into the "ruse". That way, we won't even have the pings to work out the different paths the aircraft took, North or South. We'll be totally in the dark, and the hijackers would have pulled off the ultimate airliner theft. The most recent ATSB update states that 40% of the high priority area has been searched through. I'll wait until 100% of it has been searched, and maybe another 100% more, before considering even an inkling of a possibility that the aircraft went up to Baikonur. |

By not transmitting any pings a guess North would have had as much credibility as a ping south. By transmitting wrong pings they might have thought to mislead any investigation into believing the plane went south with a 100% certainty.
Pure speculation of course, but I think it is interesting, and worth it by now, to question everything within reason.

The fact that the underwater search has produced no result so far does not change the initial assessment.
The aircraft is somewhere in the ocean, but the priority search area is very large, though it is only a small part of the area deserving to be searched.

By not transmitting any pings a guess North would have had as much credibility as a ping south. I'm not quite sure I follow you here. By not transmitting any pings, we would have no clue as to where the aircraft may have ended up after the last primary radar contact over the Malacca Strait. The aircraft could have gone down anywhere between that point up to a radius of about 7 hours flying time in any direction. Assuming the position that Jeff's theory is right, by leaving the Satcom system working, they have allowed for us to know that the aircraft was active for another 7 hours, and have given us two narrow corridors where we can find it. At some point, if nothing turns up where we were sent to look, we'll obviously start looking at the other direction they have provided us with. Ideally, they wouldn't have wanted for us to even look that way, would they? |

Well, the problem is that we have no idea what the original 'intention' was. Me, I am sure that something happened intentionally with MH370 and that it was neither an accident nor a malfunction of any kind. Was there a intention to falsify pings? if yes, why? In the end, I find it interesting to learn that it seems to be a not too complicated task to temper with the BFO, contrary to what I believed earlier.
What and why, I have no idea. Was there something/somebody on board? Was it/he/she to be brought somewhere or to dissapear without traces?
It is still a mystery what was planned and what finally happened. And where.
But I am happy for any new information/possibility/scenario coming to light.

Just a little reminder: Today, it is exactly one year since MH370 disappeared.

I'm always impressed by the level of detail in air crash investigations and the degree of openness with the public and other bodies. Pity the same doesn't apply for investigation of complaints in other fields e.g. UK complaints re child abuse, health/social services deficiencies. ...etc. The UK health field in particular routinely reflects on the huge benefits of anonymous reporting of air incidents; however we continue to bully whistleblowers in the health service whatever politicians claim!

p266 shows the last radio contact with MH370 to help others wishing to look through the 585 pages!

The bulkiness of the report should not dissuade anyone from reading it. Most of the pages are a transcript of radio communications - or lack thereof - between ATC from different countries, that can be quickly browsed.
