They do not know they have a hostage situation. Back to making shit up again. jtuck004 Mar 2014 #41

Sure jtuck004. kristopher Mar 2014 #42

Andaman and Nicobar Islands a potential terror hub: Home Ministry JI7 Mar 2014 #7

You can't land a 777 just anywhere (asuming a landing was planned in the first place) DFW Mar 2014 #10

yeah, it isn't like smugglers use airplanes or anything... kristopher Mar 2014 #13

A runway for a DC-3 ain't the same as for a B-777 DFW Mar 2014 #17

Actually, it's very insurmountable. bitchkitty Mar 2014 #25

No one said you don't need a "runway". kristopher Mar 2014 #28

So why steal one with people on board? Blue_Tires Mar 2014 #46

That's a good question. kristopher Mar 2014 #49

One would think. pangaia Mar 2014 #94

The Port Blair Airport seems to have a 10,794 ft runway csziggy Mar 2014 #70

One guy on CNN keeps claiming that this jet has particularly quiet engines csziggy Mar 2014 #88

I saw in another story that the geospatial folks who released that photo Blue_Tires Mar 2014 #48

chinas "geospatial folks"? fake pictures like that would be the way to have their agency closed. Sunlei Mar 2014 #54

not fake photos... Blue_Tires Mar 2014 #56

very odd, the china gov statement about the 'photos', odd the photos that showed wreckage, & odd Sunlei Mar 2014 #71

Those photos could be anything. AtheistCrusader Mar 2014 #72

The searchers who went over that area earlier (by air) said there was nothing there. Sunlei Mar 2014 #89

Explain to me how statellite data is going to help B2G Mar 2014 #52

It would have been pcked up on radar long before it got to Iran....or India...or Saudi Arabia. cbdo2007 Mar 2014 #59

The fact that they are searching B2G Mar 2014 #64

Right....the Indian Ocean, just like I said. Thanks for confirming. cbdo2007 Mar 2014 #67
