On October 25, 1999, a chartered Learjet 35 was scheduled to fly from Orlando, Florida to Dallas, Texas. Early in the flight the aircraft, which was cruising at altitude on autopilot, quickly lost cabin pressure. All on board were incapacitated due to hypoxia — a lack of oxygen. The aircraft failed to make the westward turn toward Dallas over north Florida. It continued flying over the southern and midwestern United States for almost four hours and 1,500 miles (2,400 km). The plane ran out of fuel and crashed into a field near Aberdeen, South Dakota after an uncontrolled descent.[1] The four passengers on board were golf star Payne Stewart, and his agents.
The pattern and details are strikingly similar to the missing Malaysian airliner.
Logic tells me the Malaysian plane suffered a similar midair happening involving hypoxia or similar.With 240 passengers on board most with celphones there is no way many of them would not have used them to call attention to any unlikely takeover of the plane by a drugged up pilot or armed passenger,both unlikely
Consider many flyers on 9/11 did make in flight calls and fought to save themselves and called many relatives explaining what was occurring. No frightor panic appeared here.
The pilot was Mr Straight arrow and had a good life,gated community home, happy family ,3 kids and wife and a future ,conclusion : he was not involved. The co pilot could also be considered unlikely as a hijacker with no motive .
Please take the time to write President Obama ,your Congressman and Senator asking that commerciaL airliners be equipped with SKYPE IN THE COCKPIT AND PASSENGERS SEATING AREA. This would render hijackings and many such problems highly unlikely or at least make the needle in haystack search for black boxes superflous in airline tragedies.
