An oil rig worker off the coast of Vietnam claims to have seen the Malaysian 777 on fire, flying perpendicular to the normal flight routes in that area.
He describes seeing what he believes to be the plane burning in one piece at high altitude, flying perpendicular to the standard plane routes that cross over the area. "From when I first saw the burning (plane) until the flames went out (still at high altitude) was 10-15 seconds. There was no lateral movement, so it was either coming toward our location, stationary, or going away from our location," he writes.
Still sounds a little sketchy, but it could be the first evidence that something catastrophic occured on Flight 370.

It's probably sitting in a field in Vietnam.

At this point I believe none of the breaking news about this incident. So many retracted statements its not even funny.

With all the BS reports that are coming out I am very skeptical to believe this one.
However, after doing the math when I first heard of this I believe the plane to be on shores of Vietnam or Cambodia or possibly even on land of either one of the countries.

This whole thing is fascinating.

With as much fuel as it was carrying, and with the alleged change in direction, it could have flown as far as India, or crashed somewhere in the vastness of the Indian Ocean. They may never find a trace of it.

Some news sources say they checked the vicinity of the oil rig and found nothing. Perhaps he saw space rock burning up in the atmosphere and not a plane...

It is. It's just so hard to believe that in this day we can completely lose an airliner of that size. It just reinforces the fact that in spite of all of our modern technology, the world is still a huge place.

I was going to say the same thing. At least have an idea where you last saw it.
Any idea where you lost your keys? You know they're in the house, it isn't like you have NO idea and start calling everywhere you've been in the last three months.
Now... where did I leave that airplane

I've looked through that entire piece of the map and the plane is not on there.

So the plane is on fire and they don't radio for help or that they have an emergency at all? Seems odd.

My word was "sketchy." So yeah, it's strange.

Yeah I know it's just I can't imagine a plane going down in flames and not even once radioing a mayday call. Unless this was a hijacking gone wrong and the pilots were dead. But it still doesn't explain it catching fire. Also if it was on fire debris would've been falling off all over. This is some real Bermuda Triangle type shit.

I was recalling what happened to Payne Stewart back in 1999:
The cause of the uncontrolled flight and crash after the Learjet 35 apparently ran out of fuel were not known, but aviation experts speculated that the aircraft may have lost pressurization and that emergency backup systems failed as the plane's autopilot kept it in the air. Loss of pressurization above 30,000 feet would cause occupants of the aircraft to lose consciousness from oxygen deficiency in one to two minutes, the experts said. ( WaPo )
Investigators speculated that the Learjet's pilots weren't able to get to their air masks fast enough, though that seems unlikely in a 777. Chase planes sent to intercept Stewart's plane reported that all the windows were iced or fogged over. Still, that wouldn't explain the loss of the transponder. So many questions, and they may never be answered.

Isn't it an automatic safety system for oxygen masks to drop as soon as planes lose pressurization? I don't know why but my gut is telling my Malaysian Airlines is attempting to cover something up here. Perhaps the plane did not pass safety inspections or had any recently done.

The flash of light you saw in the sky was not a 777. Swamp gas from a weather balloon was trapped in a thermal pocket and reflected the light from Venus.
Right? ... No? Ok I'll get my coat...

The masks drop from overhead for the passengers, but the pilots have a much more robust system that they have to put on themselves (similar to the one shown below). They are kept close at hand, though, and they should be able to put them on quickly in case of emergency. Which points to some sort of catastrophic occurrence. Did they have a midair collision that took out the pilots? That was actually scenario in the film Airport 1975.
