Honest question. Would it have been possible for the plane to make it to North Korea?
- Cowen 13y agoNot without refueling somewhere. They didn't have enough gas to make it too far past Beijing. [0] [0]- http://i.cdn.turner.com/cnn/interactive/2014/03/world/malaysia-flight-map/media/mh370-range.jpg http://i.cdn.turner.com/cnn/interactive/2014/03/world/malays...
- tim333 13y agoActually according to the Washington Post they did have enough fuel for N Korea http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/new-twist-in-the-hunt-for-missing-plane/2014/03/13/dcee10da-aae6-11e3-98f6-8e3c562f9996_graphic.html http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/new-twist-in-the-hunt-fo...
- lutusp 13y agoNo, too far away -- the possible flying radius after contact was lost has been pretty well established, and North Korea is well outside that radius. Also, when last detected, they were flying in the opposite direction.
- geuis 13y agoSee tim333's reply and link. It had enough fuel to reach NK
- yongjik 13y agoChina is pretty much the only (reluctant) sponsor of the abomination that is NK. They wouldn't kidnap a plane with 100+ Chinese citizens. Frankly, I think they'd rather try to nuke Seoul first. (Just my two cents.)
- devindotcom 13y agoMore likely to land somewhere small and tumultuous, a decommissioned airbase in Bangladesh or Sri Lanka. NK is too closely monitored.
