Reporters... Someone not only turned off the transponder – a simple switch operation – but after making an illogical 270 degrees right turn, turned off the ACARS as well! This is a more complex operation in a 777, showing some preparation.
You have to locate the ACARS panel, remove special screws and take out a crucial part. Someone, however, did exactly that, but didn't succeed in disabling the ping-system part.
So while the primary ACARS system on board MH370 had been disabled, the Classic Aero was active as long as the plane was powered up, and kept trying to establish a connection to an Inmarsat satellite every hour.
This is how we know how long MH370 was airborne and could determine two points on a grand circle to constitute the only possible downs.
But since the Aero only pings Inmarsat once hourly, these two areas were large.
Much emphasis has been placed on suspecting the first pilot.
But the passenger list held many abnormalities not resolved.
It was also reported that the plane climbed to 35,000 and remained there for 35 minutes. If decompressed, this would have killed everyone not wearing oxygen.
Rumors said two tech giants fought for a crucial world patent, and the acquisition was dependent on the many engineers on board.
Other rumors spoke of a valuable cargo, easily transported and sold.
Perhaps a team of specialists boarded with parachutes in their hand luggage, did their deeds and jumped out near the malaysian coast, leaving the plane – with everyone dead already from the climb – on autopilot, set to land (not crash) far out to sea?
This would explain why the plane reurned to low altitude near the west coast after the high climb and only then reverted to cruise hight over the ocean...
