the same way it vanished.
lol, so true. ThomasL, owned.

I'll preface this by saying I don't actually believe the aircraft is part of a terrorist plot. Several government agencies cleared all passengers on board of suspicion.
With that said, there are definitely ways this could happen. If a terrorist organization was in control of the plane at this time, they'd obviously be removing any sort of tracking or communicative transponders from the aircraft. That would make using secondary radar useless as it relies on the aircraft providing a response signal. This is actually a big part of why we can't actually find the damn thing. Over the ocean past land masses, there's very little, if any, primary radar that can detect the aircraft.
As you can see from the map above, primary radar coverage only extends out so far. Possibly only 50-150 miles in some areas. These maps are readily available and if I can use them to see weakness in coverage, believe a terrorist could as well. It would be reasonable to expect that as an aircraft neared known radar coverage, they would increase speed to near maximum cruise in order to cover distance in the least amount of time possible. For a 777, that's an equivalent speed of 590mph (altitude dependent based on atmospheric pressure).
At those speeds it doesn't take long to travel a lot of distance. By the time a radar echo is received and recognition protocols are completed (likely with no response), you don't have a lot of time to scramble forces to take it down. If it reaches a populated area, shooting it down may alter it's intended path of destruction, but it won't stop it.
Now I'm not a military guy and I don't know what types of protocols there may be with that. Our airforce keeps patrols in the air and jets at the ready, so scrambling aircraft probably doesn't take much time. However as you can see, there's little if any room for error here. A terrorist pilot acting like a commercial airliner that's having problems, could possibly stall decisions for long enough for the aircraft to reach an intended target on the eastern or western coast.
The plane purposely crashed into Godzilla to save the world.
Because governments diclose any and all information they have to citizens, and only release truthful information.

This is all a diversion guys. Not this much media coverage and attention was provided for the Air France incident years ago. Media/Gov't keeping citizens attention elsewhere. Something else is brewing.

Yea Russia is about to start a World War.
I am convinced that plane is on land somewhere
That shit is at the bottom of the ocean and it will be a long time before they find it.
I've given up on following this story. Sad, but it's just rumor after rumor and not a shred of evidence. Something is fishy about it no doubt. Plane is gone and not a single bit of it has washed up or been seen anywhere with as many resources as they've put into finding it?
