Re: [math-fun] How to find Malaysia370 missing plane.
The picture https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3507527/malay370.png summarizes my deduction. This is based on now finding in wikipedia the timing data I needed. It was at 6deg 55min 15sec N, 103deg 34min 43sec E at 1:30am local time = 17:30 UTC. It then was detected by Malay military radar at 2:40am local time "near Pulau Perak, in the Straits of Malacca." http://my.news.yahoo.com/mh370-detected-above-malacca-straits-2-40am-0626177... Based on this I estimate the center S of the second circle and time T at which plane was there, as shown in figure. If plane then flew straight at 905 km/hr then at 8:11am local time, it had to be on a circle of radius=4462km centered at S. Intersecting this circle with the satellite-pig circle, we deduce the plane's location at 8:11am Malay time as shown in figure. ---- NY Times: "Pilot Spoke to Air Controllers After Shutoff of Data System" indicates pilot spoke to air control after the data system was shut off, and did not indicate anything awry. The only reasonable explanation of this is that the pilot himself was the one whodecied to take the plane on its odyssey.
Hmm. In Sinkiang province, where there has recently been an outbreak of political unrest driected against the central Chinese government. And the plane carried 150 Chinese passengers. Perhaps some deliberate obfuscation has been practised? WFL On 3/16/14, Warren D Smith <warren.wds@gmail.com> wrote:

They mentioned that arc and pointed out that it was unlikely to be on that arc because it is almost completely covered by military radars. The idea that the plane could fly over Sri Lanka, India and Pakistan [not to mention the other nearby countries] without being detected is considered pretty unlikely. /Bernie\ -- Bernie Cosell Fantasy Farm Fibers mailto:bernie@fantasyfarm.com Pearisburg, VA --> Too many people, too few sheep <--

"When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth" -- Sherlock Holmes. I concluded several days ago that some government knows exactly where this plane is, and has known for a week, but isn't talking. I would hope that this silence would indicate that negotiations are ongoing to free the passengers, but that would be sheer speculation on my part. It's too bad that Tom Clancy didn't live long enough to see this hijacking; Tom had already forseen the 9/11 hijackings in 1994. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Clancy
