if the pilot was suicidal, why not crash the plane immediately, why go through all the trouble of shutting off communications, avoiding radar and flying an extra 500 miles in the opposite direction?
Where were they going?

— A signaling system was disabled on the missing Malaysia Airlines jet before a pilot spoke to Malaysian air traffic control without hinting at any trouble, a senior Malaysian official said Sunday

Not too comforting to know that a 777 could fly for thousands of miles undetected.
So bizarre to me...how could it be undetected? I get that it could be lost of a little bit, but completely undetected?

- It wasnt undetected. One satellite was pinging it. They cant triangulate it bc there was only one.CygnusZero4

This must be a horrible experience for family and friends of the passengers. What if they never find out what happened?
- They willmarychain
- They may not. In the 50s a passenger plane disappeared over lake michigan. Never found.CygnusZero4

- Well, let's hope not, anyway.Continuity
- at this point it's one of their better results I would think_niko
- This would actually be the best result. Not hostages, not executed, not a catastrophic crash.CygnusZero4

Something none of the international news agencies are asking.. what about the US Airfield and ETOPS on Diego Garcia.. completely in range and in the general direction of where it was last seen.
- unless that is where the plane is. The Yanks must have really wanted something/someone on that flight_niko
- right, hijacking an entire plane to capture one or more people? ease off the conspiracy forums, folkshereswhatidid
- come on man, it's all for fun, and at this point, the wilder the better!_niko

if for no other reason, a US base in the middle of the indian ocean would have radar covering pretty much as far as they could.. surely they would have tracked it, especially if it was off course.
- you would think, wouldn't youformed
- Interesting, this was just in the news

it happened before in 2003
- that mentions nothing about the other missing plane, and what it does say only shows that it's NOTHING like 370monospaced
