Q: Anybody heard news about MH370?
There are rumors in some of the newspapers that passenger from flight MH370 sent an sms that they are on some island, in prison and drugged.
Stay classy China

When you post statement as such, you should post web link, where did you read that.
None of them carry your 'news':

They are real newspaper and available online and in printed edition.
I don't trust any newspaper so that is why I was asked this question. Other reason is that I also didn't found any similar info in English.
Tarzan:
What you are referring to was discussed here a fw weeks ago and apparently pissed off a lot of people. Read for yourself about the Diego Garcia theory...

Would be pretty crappy people "taking care of them" if they drug them but don't take their cell-phones.
Cruel hoax for the relatives.
Yes, that was weird for me also, and after more than 30 days, they give them plug and charger so they can charge their phones.

Here is the article:
One of the newest conspiracy theories about missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 is that the passengers are being held at Diego Garcia, a U.S. base near the Maldives.
UPDATE: In an update to his original post, Jim Stone finally revealed the source of the photo–4Chan.
4Chan is extremely unreliable and has been used to perpetuate many hoaxes, and this may be one of them.
——-Original story below
The theory itself isn’t that new but claimed new evidence is–that would be a black photo allegedly taken by Philip Wood, an American IBM engineer on the flight.
Widespread searches for the flight, which went missing around three weeks ago, have turned up basically nothing.
Some people believe that the plane was flown to Diego Garcia, citing in part fuel projections and radar data.
Now a conspiracy theory website jimstonefreelance.com claims that the story of Wood posting a photo from a “prison” in Diego Garcia is “confirmed 100 percent true.”
The origin of the photo, which looks like a picture taken in a completely black room, is unclear.
But Stone says that the Exif data from the picture matches the coordinates of Diego Garcia, saying “this is not a hoax.”
The person who posted the photo online claimed to be blindfolded when he sent the message, Stone said.
Stone said that the photo was posted with the following text: “I have been held hostage by unknown military personal after my flight was hijacked (blindfolded). I work for IBM and I have managed to hide my cellphone in my ass during the hijack. I have been separated from the rest of the passengers and I am in a cell. My name is Philip Wood. I think I have been drugged as well and cannot think clearly.”
“The man claimed to be blindfolded when he sent the message,” Stone said. “When the American military blindfolds someone, it is accomplished by putting a bag over the head that is locked so you can’t get it off. This left the engineers hands free. This would have made it possible for him to pull his iPhone 5 (a fact confirmed by the Exif data) out of his butt as stated, and use the voice command ability of the Iphone to just talk to it to log in and post the message. This explains why he sent a black photo, he could not see what he was sending, he just knew he snapped a photo and sent whatever got taken.”
The location of Diego Garcia.
The photo allegedly posted by Philip Wood.
Stone added regarding the coordinates: “When the coordinates are added to the fact that the photo’s exif data does not match the Google coordinates or any other coordinates for Diego Garcia that are posted online, but is still within the boundaries of Diego Garcia, it proves that no one just pulled those coordinates off the web. It helps confirm that this was not just a hoax because the coordinates are exact to wherever on Diego Garcia the Iphone was when it took the photo.”
Stone, who cross-posted his blog post on the conspiracy website Before It’s News, doesn’t include a clear point of origin for the photo or the information such as the Exif data.
A link in the post that allegedly points to the origin of the photo doesn’t work properly.
See an AP update on the search below
WELLINGTON, New Zealand—Sometimes the object spotted in the water is a snarled fishing line. Or a buoy. Or something that might once have been the lid to an ice box. Not once—not yet at least—has it been a clue.
Anticipation has repeatedly turned into frustration in the search for signs of Flight 370 as objects spotted from planes in a new search area west of Australia have turned out to be garbage. It’s a time-wasting distraction for air and sea crews searching for debris from the Malaysia Airlines flight that vanished March 8.
It also points to wider problems in the world’s oceans.
“The ocean is like a plastic soup, bulked up with the croutons of these larger items,” said Los Angeles captain Charles Moore, an environmental advocate credited with bringing attention to an ocean gyre between Hawaii and California known as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, which by some accounts is about the size of Texas.
The world’s oceans have four more of these flotsam-collecting vortexes, Moore said, and the searchers, in an area about 1,850 kilometers (1,150 miles) west of Perth, have stumbled onto the eastern edge of a gyre in the Indian Ocean.
“It’s like a toilet bowl that swirls but doesn’t flush,” said Moore.
The garbage patches are nothing like a typical city dump. In fact, most of the trash can’t even be seen: It’s composed of tiny bits of plastic bobbing just below the surface.
The larger items also tend to be plastic and are often fishing-related, Moore said. Though, he added, he has come across light bulbs, a toilet seat, and, bobbing off the California coast, a refrigerator, complete with defrosted orange juice.
Seattle oceanographer Curtis Ebbesmeyer has been studying the phenomena of ocean debris for years. He said there are smaller collections of garbage within the gyres.
“If you go into a house you’ll find dust bunnies,” he said. “The ocean has a mass of dust bunnies, each moving about 10 miles a day.”
Ebbesmeyer said he’s fascinated by what happens to the trash that spews from the hundreds of shipping containers lost overboard from cargo ships each year. He said there’s one that keeps belching out Lego pieces onto the beaches of Cornwall, England. Another spilled 2,000 computer monitors. Another released thousands of pairs of Nike sneakers.
Sometimes, he said, the containers themselves can become hazards as they float around for months, buoyed by plastic objects inside or the air trapped behind watertight doors.
Trash also gets into the ocean after being washed down rivers or swept up in tsunamis, Ebbesmeyer said.
Scientists are particularly worried about small and seemingly ubiquitous pieces of plastic that can be from shopping bags, plastic water bottles, or other household items. Waves break the items up into smaller pieces.
Denise Hardesty, a research scientist for Australian science agency CSIRO, said the studies she’s been involved with conservatively estimate there are between 5,000 and 7,000 small pieces of plastic per square kilometer in the waters around Australia.
She said two-thirds of the seabirds she’s performed necropsies upon have ingested at least some plastic, and one particular bird had swallowed 175 pieces. Another bird, she said, had swallowed an entire glow stick longer than a finger. Such sticks are used by fishermen to attract fish underwater.
“It takes 400 or 500 years for lots of types of plastics to completely break down,” Hardesty said. “It just goes into smaller and smaller bits. You even find plastics in plankton — that’s how small it gets.”
Hardesty said while she finds plenty of plastic in the ocean, she doesn’t typically spot many larger objects. She said she does find trash like cans, bottles and candy wrappers floating near urban centers, but most of it tends to get washed ashore.
American sailor James Burwick said he’s twice crossed the Indian Ocean from Africa to Australia. He said the sea was too wild to see much trash but he did feel bumps against the bottom of his boat, and an old fishing net once got caught around his vessel.
Wing Cmdr. Andy Scott, of New Zealand’s defense force, said the crew in a P-3 Orion scouring the ocean for Flight 370 on Saturday spotted about 70 objects in four hours.
Three were deemed worthy of further investigation, he said, but none turned out to be from the missing plane. One was probably a fishing line, he said, another was the suspected ice box lid, and a third was some unidentified brown and orange material.
A cluster of orange-colored items spotted on Sunday from an Australian search plane and thought to be a promising lead also turned out to be fishing equipment.
“From my experience, it can be quite a roller coaster,” he said. “You sight these search objects, and think you’ve made a breakthrough, and then you have to get back to your routine.”
Scott said that over time, small pieces of debris can tangle together to make something larger. Such rafts will eventually attract sea life, he said, which can stir up the water and make it appear to be more important than it is.
“A lot of the stuff we are seeing,” he said, “is basically rubbish.”

I guess he had his phone charger up his ass too! My IPhone battery last about 12 hours max.
Spiderboenz:
Yeah, I'm 100% certain this is a hoax. I have an iphone 5, and there is no way it eoukd fit in someone's ass.

Malaysian military BACKED DOWN, BUTMAILS COMPLETELY CENSORED. PHONES DISCONNECTED. WEB SITE SAVED ONLY BY A HUGELY READ ARTICLE AT BEFOREIT'S NEWS THAT I COULD EDIT TO TELL PEOPLE WHAT HAPPENED WHEN IT VANISHED. BUT WHAT CAN I SAY? READ IT AND WEEP YOU NSA BASTARDS. GET THIS, IT'S A HOOT!
The engines on flight 377 remained connected to satellites as part of a Boeing maintenance routine, and Boeing has confirmed the aircraft remained flying for five full hours after it “vanished” from radar. Obviously the Malaysian military really did track this plane as they originally stated. Someone forced them to back down, only to have Boeing blow it wide open once and for all. And THIS is probably why the Malaysian military forgot all about how they tracked it to the strait of Malacca. Too late, the genie is OUT OF THE BOTTLE.
THIS RE-CONFIRMS AN AWACS HIJACKING, THEY REMEMBERED TO JAM RADAR AND THE TRANSPONDER, BUT DID NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT ALL DETAILS AND MISSED A HUGE ONE.
Can anybody access the link that I posted? Or maybe great firewall blocked it now. I cannot open it now.
Yeah they were able to send sms from some island with no cell tower. Sounds like more garbage cooked by China's propaganda machine.
icnif77:
That's an American website. I'm not sure, where do they running it from. I guess, somewhere in Caribbean. 'Jim Stone' and 'beforeitsnews' are associated. 'News' from there are always 'alarming' and 'disturbing'. More stories on the link I posted. They also work with '911 TRUTH movement'.
Ok, think about this rationally. If someone had the capability to steal a 777, hide it where no government in the world could find it, and was holding them on an island. Why would they not have the ability to confiscate all communication devices? Furthermore, what cellphone battery would still have a charge? If the text was actually received it is a cruel hoax.
Yes it is a CIA plot to blame China for something
the plane is at the south pole guarded by Elvis and the Aliens from Area 51
icnif77:
There's connection between US&China, 'cause Chinese let 'Up-yours' leave HK. US basically 'stop the whole World' to get him, buTT.....you know the rest.
philbravery:
yeah he was , but when you are on tour you know how it is . next week Buddy Holly will do a come back concert with glen miller as the support act in the DPRK , Rodman is the promotor
Did we forget about MH370. The latest news I read today says the signals that lead the hunt to where the search is still ongoing are likely to not have come from the plane.
Very strange to think that it could crash with no debris field found, but I guess in the remote S. Indian Ocean maybe there are no people. Everywhere I've been in Asia is full of people, even the most remote jungles are frequented. So how does it just go *p00f*?
Some news on this:
http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/482405/MH370-Malaysia-Airlines-New-Z...
I am sure this will fare well among the families of the passengers.
If you guys recall, this "hijacking" theory was discussed here a few weeks ago at this thread...
http://answers.echinacities.com/node/209236
which was based on the research done by a former senior NSA analyst named Jim Stone. Although users here were ready to stone the people who agreed with the theory dozens of "unamed government sources" and a Mossad agent leaked information that Jim Stone was telling the truth.
Since then a few hundred pilots and air traffic controllers said "the reports given to the public about this plane's current location, are rubbish" and the government of Malaysia has put up a $5 million reward for the whistleblower who comes forth with a "truth" that can be proven. Maybe it will be Stone - maybe not.
Stay classy China

More on the SE Asian terror threat from Malaysia New Strait Times. Dunno if this is accessible from PRC, but..."Malaysian security authorities have identified four new terror groups bent on creating a "super" Islamic caliphate to rule parts of South-east Asia, including secular Singapore. The ambitious Islamic state that the four Malaysian groups envision is called the Daulah Islamiah Nusantara and covers Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, southern Thailand and southern Philippines."
^Furthermore it is not clear at what level corrupted government officials in Malaysia and Indonesia are facilitating this - certainly at a local level they are facilitating travel by militants to training camps across the Malaysian border in S Thailand and S Phillippines, but MH370 is still a big question mark because Malaysia does have the sophisticated air monitoring technology and its top-level officials were apparently not being upfront about it. Can China expect to receive some revenge for its milking of SE Asia's resources (as in Singapore)?
http://www.straitstimes.com/the-big-story/asia-report/malaysia/story/fou...
It appears now by the wings that the pilot killed the other and flew the plane into the ocean in an apparent suicide. So we may never know where it actually is in the Indian Ocean.
Shining_brow:
Meh, within 100 years, we'll have the technology to find such things. We've been saying "we'll never ever know" for a very long time, and over that time, we've been finding more and more things that were 'never ever'.
I'll still reserve any judgement on what happened until definitive proof comes out.
As I wrote from the beginning of the MH370 's drama. The plane on mission to test something related to STEALTH was shut down over Diego-Garcia. Then the black-boxes recovered, were taken in one of those high-flying warplanes seen on the picture and dropped in the middle of the Indian Ocean. Some country with guts (China or Russia or both) must require from the UN to be allowed to investigate around that island. I bet than quickly the Boeing 777 and the 239 bodies will be found.
