How could you tell if one was on fire or not? They fly so far away that they look smaller than a dime in the air. If he could see it, that means that they were in serious trouble because the fire would have to be too big to notice but the fact that there is no plane contradicts that theory for now.
If it was going down, it likely wouldn't be that high. If it went over the horizon and crashed into the ocean he wouldn't have seen that happen. I don't think a credible witness should be discounted.
I think the plane crashed. They seem to be ruling out some pretty credible evidence, like the seismic activity that was picked up from the ocean floor. Now it seems they are on a witch hunt.
When this is all finally settled I hope the airline industry makes some critical changes so this never happens again. Namely making it impossible to turn off transponders and installing GPS systems so 'lost' planes can't get lost any more.
If you make it impossible to turn off the transponders, ATC is going to have a hell of a mess with all the airplanes pinging away at the gates and maintenance areas.
Just sayin'

Is that why they're disableable? Makes sense, but if removing that option prevents 9/11s and 370 events it'd be worth a little extra clutter on the ground.
It's not a matter of "clutter". ATC has to keep planes 5 miles apart, or they get collision warnings. Planes 300 feet apart at the gates, and that alarm will be sounding constantly. Which will block the real ones.
I think that is likely the case.
There are also 80,000 flights a day around the world. How do we know it happens to be the same plane? It is likely but how do we know it wasn't another plane? No other planes have maintenance problems?
I would think another jet liner would have been reported missing if it was a different jet. You can't really ignore one that large with that many people on it not arriving. When something untoward happens, we may not know which plane it is for a while, though. When I went to Egypt another jet crossing the Atlantic at the same time we were went into the drink. Our families were standing on their ear because they thought it was us. Likely the controllers knew which plane it was, but it had not yet been broadcast.
If the rig worker saw the 777 "in flames" the entire world would know the 'rig workers' location right? Ergo they would have a damned good idea where the plane was when the rig worker saw it right? Ergo an extensive air search would have spotted some debris b/c the 777 wasn't going very far "in flames" right? A 777 is a BIG piece of kit right?
The 'rig worker' was lying or mistaken. BTW was the 'rig worker' the only man on the rig at the time? He didn't say: "Look everyone! That's a big MF plane on fire"? Ya right.

"what happened to the plane?"
"well the plane was sending one blip per hour then it stopped"
"how did it stop?"
"the plane could be under water , in that case the tracking devices won't work well, but, we think the tracking devices were shut off"
"shut off?"
"yeah"
"so...you went to the trouble of placing tracking devices on the plane, then placed switches next to the pilots , so they could shut them off when ever they want?"
"yeah"
"so...because of 9-11, the Department of Homeland Security placed armed men all around New York, but someone can walk into a cockpit ,shut off the tracking devices, and a plane becomes invisible to radar?"
"yeah"
"that's why you guys earn the big money"
You must be a Liberal right. Why would I ask? B/c you're stupid.It may have gone out of sight too fast for him to tell someone else in time to see it.

Starting to get really annoyed with all the coverage seeing as how it isn't relating any facts (since we don't know many) but just speculation, conjecture, and the current fav theory. Thought news was supposed to be about facts, not conjecture? Watching CNN's coverage is like watching "Ancient Aliens" lots of theory and conjecture, but not one single fact.

the plane could have been in the 20 ft range or less
here is his letter to the officials
he said the flames went out

That makes much more sense than some of the ludicrous theories put out.my Theory :
maybe aliens swallowed plane inside their space craft and took it to outer space with them?

What are the current theories? Abducted by Aliens, Foul Play, Friendly Fire, The Pilot did it, they are underwater, they are in Iran, they are at Disneyland.
Someone post a poll.
