If transponder is separate they may have meant that....but the reporter. said black box.
Here's something I do not understand.
The news said the black box (which apparently is orange) was turned off. When it was turned if, it no longer shows up on radar. What?? If a country is at war, do the planes from the other side keep black boxes to be traced? This makes no sense to me. But they said that was the first thing the terrorists did on 9-11 as well...turned off the black boxes.
But what use is radar if the enemy can just switch off what it tracks?
In movies the US marines gets blips on their radar from UFO's. UFO's have trackers on? And enemy planes have trackers on? But in a commercial plane...it gets shut off.
This world is to weird.
Perhaps it's not been crashed and the terrorists are holding all of the people hostage and waiting for the right moment to let the world know what they've done. They've had four days to disperse said people to various locations, so this way if the police find them (the terrorists) they won't be able to find the hostages in all of these different locales? It really just doesn't make any sense that if the plane crashed that, so far, there have been no reports or sightings of debries anywhere. How can that be assuming that there's got to be alot of satellites aimed at that part of the world right now?This is so weird that no scenario seems to make sense. It seems kind of unlikely that someone would land a plane, the refuel it and try to take off again to use the plane for terrorism. They would have used it days ago when it was already in the air. Plus, you don't just land a plane like that on a dirt strip in the middle of the jungle. A plane like that has to have a very large area to land. No matter what the answer turns out to be, it's very strange. If it was highjacked and purposely crashed, why isn't anyone taking credit for it?
I have seen some footage of relatives and they appear confused and frustrated,as you would expect..kingrice,it does seem odd that nothing is turning up,but you have to consider the vastness of the area,from the South China Sea to the Indian Ocean,and the possible area it could be in..imagine it is like trying to find the head of a pin on a football field,or maybe even a larger scale.Also,if it turned over and drove straight into the ocean at hundreds of mph,well there just may not be much to find..very sad.. if it was a hijacking for ransom,would think some contact from the bad guys would have been attempted by now,and coordinating the housing and other details of hiding the people and the jet would have generated some cell or radio traffic which they should be able to trace..I was watching the news on BBC1 this morning.

Also, they had an aviation expert on. Apparently, if the plane was hijacked in an attempt to procure money (I'm pretty sure he said the average passenger plane is insured for £50 million quid) this information would not "be in the public domain". The news caster said SURELY it would have leaked out by now. I know it sounds odd, but I haven't even seen any news footage of relatives of the passengers on the television.
