Everyone knows it was a B-17 they found not a B-52!!

Correct, Elvis was co-pilot.

Is it not possible that in conjunction with a high speed jet stream tail wind it got itself into a transitional orbit velocity, and then inadvertantly managed to slingshot around the earth sufficient for its speed to increase to full escape velocity? Given the altitude it would have ended up at, any aerodynamic control would have been ineffective due to the air being so thin, so the pilot wouldn't have been able to point the nose down and descend like he was perhaps used to.

I would certainly be interested in any evidence to categorically debunk this notion.

This is what it takes to make something that can escape Earth's gravity.

This is what it would take to get a 777 into space.It's just that it would be going a lot further than the moon.

There is actual documented evidence of just such an orbital mishap.
In an early edition, the Daily or Sunday Sport reported, with photographic proof, on their front page, the discovery of a missing B52 Flying Fortress that had crash landed on the moon.

Looks like a B52 in the image ?

So Inmarsat are now saying that they haven't searched in the area they said it was?!

Yes, that's what I heard, they've yet to search in what Inmarsat call the "hotspot". Why didn't they start looking there first? Or is this a new hotspot based on further refined data analysis?

Tonight's program could be interesting, although I suspect a lot of it will be based on what's long been discussed on PPRUNE.

Yes, thats the one I remember.
Documentary evidence that dvsdave could be on to something.

Actuslly I remember pages 2, 3, 4, 6, 9..........

Unless Horizon know something that noone else does (doubtful) then it will be the same old crap regurgitated one more time.

[ATTAK Z]

Heads up for BBC 2 now

Horizon BBC2 on now

As I thought this is absolute bobbins.

Slightly serious sounding voiceover. Check.

Slight menacing undertone. Check.

'Experts' talking in short sentences so the great unwashed can understand it. Check.

[KTF]

Ok so they have presented the known facts now. Anything from this point on is pure speculation. 10 mins of facts, 50 mins of nothing.

[kev1974]

Nice shots of modern jazzy radar screens though.

[Mr Trophy]

Serious question, do we think we will ever find it / find out whats happened to it?

[GALLARDOGUY]

Did you really expect any revelations? How are TV production company in the UK going to know more than than the search teams in the actual region?

Honestly, I seriously doubt it.

Oh look, here comes the battery theory.

[Ray Luxury-Yacht]

Not near a TV at the moment - but have they wheeled out David Learmount yet?

I'll bet £50 that he makes an appearance at some point

[KTF]

No sign of him yet. Amazed that Inmarsat agreed to put a talking head on screen. If it turns out they were wrong then they are going to get a lot of flack as the whole search is based on that.

Edit: Has someone tied this Inmarsat guys arms to a chair?

This chap with the yellow tie is putting me to sleep

Now here comes the decomp theory. Had there been a decompression, the cockpit would have lit up like a Christmas tree.

The example they are quoting was not the same as MH370. The crew saw the alarms but ignored them.
