From the Blaze:
After the horrific attacks of 9/11, author Brad Thor was one of a select group of people asked by the U.S. government to war game different scenarios about what the extremists could try next.
As the world continues to be captivated by what happened to missing Malaysia Airlines flight 370, Thor has a few ideas of his own about what may have occurred. “If this thing did not crash … if this is a hijacking, we are going to see some absolutely horrific things coming our way,” he warned Glenn Beck on Wednesday.
“The amount of planning that went into this, the amount of expertise and skill — we are going to see a media blitz … that is going to be horrific and shocking around the world.” Thor said terrorism only works if we see wreckage and carnage, and it affects us so much we subsequently modify our behavior.
The entire world has been spellbound by the missing Malaysia Airlines flight for over a week now — if terrorists are behind it, they now have the complete attention of the globe. Moreover, Thor pointed out, “it would be so easy to steal a cargo plane compared to a plane full of passengers.”
If it is terrorism, he reiterated, it was not chance that they chose this plane, and something will likely happen to those passengers on a very public scale. “Are these passengers going to be used as human shields at some point?” Thor asked. Or could the plane be used in a future attack, with the passengers aboard?
Worst case scenario, countless perish in the attack. Alternatively, Thor said, the country is forced to shoot down a plane with hundreds of innocents and it is “broadcast around the world.” “It would be a very difficult thing to deal with,” Thor said. “I’m really, really concerned with how this could be used.”

Assuming this plane will be used to deliver hell on earth, the idea of using it's non-complicit crew and passengers as 'human shields' renders the issue of weather they are currently alive or dead - moot.
The ideology of those involved means they simply have to convince their target they will use these 'human shields' in any manner they see fit.
If dead, what benefit is it to those involved to reveal the innocent are dead already?
If alive, they are now 'bargaining chips'. 13+ days of MSM reports have provided a fairly detailed dossier of many of the 'valuable' assets these hijackers now possess.
So long as the West continues to legitimize "Islam" as simply another 'religion' , we're in for a whole lot of 'hurt'.
Rather than publicly recognizing it as the eternal war doctrine shedding blood across the globe for over 1400 years . . . unless the West decides to DEFEND itself, this will be just another day granted to the followers of a desert warlord/pedophile to continue to wreak heartless bloody havoc on the innocent, vulnerable and perpetually gullable.
weather = whether . . .ooops
US Navy says P-8 Poseidon aircraft completed 10-hour search mission over Indian Ocean and found nothing http://fxn.ws/1oxgzyJ #MH370
Military planes from Australia and the U.S. searched unsuccessfully Thursday for two objects spotted by satellite in the southern Indian Ocean that could be related to the missing Malaysia Airlines flight.
A Navy spokesman told Fox News that a P-8 Poseidon aircraft returned to base in the western Australian city of Perth with "nothing to report" after flying a 10-hour search mission in the Indian Ocean. Earlier Thursday, a statement on the Australian Maritime Safety Agency's (AMSA) official Twitter account said that the crew of a Royal Australian Air Force P-3 aircraft had been unable to locate the debris due to limited visibility as a result of clouds and rain. The tweet added that other aircraft would continue the search.
These people are dead. One way or the other.
Every single 777-200ER in the air is going to get very careful inspection and it's passage over populated areas is a big issue. There are hundreds of 777's out there now, maybe >1000, but I don;t know hm 200-er's. And I have a feeling id'ing one on radar is not so easy compared to say a 777-300, or 200.
The scenarios MUST BE, what weapons can survive explosion and interception in midair, to be lethal on the ground. Or what weapons load is as deadly in a mid air explosion as it would be if it perfectly reached its target.
Given the demonstrated inaccuracies of military radar we have seen in the last 12 days, I have some bad feelings about this if the plane is intact somewhere, repainted, and can approach its target over 3rd world countries.
We had BETTER have the US surrounded by AWACS, or E2-C's. Israel is SURROUNDED by 3rd world nations who would say NOTHING if they saw this 777 inbound.
I am not surprised the Australians found nothing.
I believe the plane is in Pakistan, waiting to deliver "hell on Earth," as the above Anonymous commenter suggested.

Malaysia: U.S. May Be Hiding Something
Malaysian officials believe Australia and the U.S. may be withholding data that could aid the search for the missing plane, Business Insider reported, citing the New Strait Times.
The Malaysian government-operated newspaper said that radar systems and satellites owned by the two countries may have been able to track the flight if it crashed in the area.
The U.S. and Australia have not responded to the accusations. The claims likely speak more to the tension between Malaysia and other countries aiding the search than any actual lack of disclosure.
NewStraitsTimes: Investigators Going Through Pilot's Phone Call & Cargo Manifest
"SEPANG: The investigation team is going through the record call made by MH370 pilot, Capt Zaharie Ahmad Shah from the cockpit, reportedly minutes before the flight took off.
Malaysia Airlines (MAS) chief executive officer Ahmad Jauhari Yahya said the the phone call record had been submitted to the investigation team, together with information on the cargo manifest.
Explaining further on the cargo manifest, Ahmad Jauhari said the aircraft carried small batteries, but they had been approved and up to par of safety standards set by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO).
"They were not dangerous goods and had been packed as recommended by ICAO. We checked them several times to make sure the packing was right and were done in accordance of ICAO’s guidelines," he told a daily media briefing on the search and rescue (SAR) operation at a hotel here, today." [excerpt]
