...WHO was on it, and ...WHAT was in the cargo is the key to what happened to this jet.
Well never know that inside story. So I no longer care.
Speculated, speculation, reportedly, we only know, blah blah blah.
Ill wait for the book.

If was going to bet on what happened i would put my money on it being high jacked and forced to fly off the radar to wherever it ended up. If you want to know why it hasn't been found , just look at who is in charge of the search. somebody's probably made this observation, but if you look at 9-11, those flights were chosen for full effect, coast-to-coast flights loaded with fuel to maximize the desired effects. It looks like whoever was behind this chose the best situation to steal an airliner without leaving a trail. The question is, where will it re-appear, and what kind of payload will it be carrying.

The question is, where will it re-appear, and what kind of payload will it be carrying. That IS a pretty scary scenario. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to change out the transponder... just to confuse things until about a minute inside our coastline to the allotted target.

Trying to sort through the "facts" at this point is an exercise in futility. Nah...Not TOO hard. There are only two facts. 1) Plane is missing 2) Nobody knows where it is. 3) The Indian Ocean is one big sum bisch I agree with 1, 2 and especially 3. I sailed across that big sum bisch six times.
If you're fixin' to put a hole in something, make it a hole to remember.

Part of the problem is headlines like this that's up on Foxnews right now: Authorities reportedly looking at flight engineer, plane altitude in missing Malaysia jetliner investigation
Well, of course they're looking at the flight engineer...and the flight attendants, and everyone on the ground crew, and even the hot barmaid in the airport lounge. Every time someone mentions that they're looking somewhere, the news media jumps all over with meaningless stuff like that.

Why steal an airliner and bring half the world looking for it. Why not go to some third world $hit hole and just buy some half worn out 737 or equivalent?

Here's a bizarre thought. FYI, this isn't the first time that I've had bizarre thoughts. What if the pilot with 18,000 hours wanted to do a Chesley Burnett "Sully" Sullenberger on the way out and successfully perform a water landing? He had a flight simulator to practice with.

Somebody, most likely a country, orchestrated this. They did a pretty decent job too.
That somebody knows where the plane is, and whether the mission was successful or a failure.
It mostly likely relates to cargo that was on board.
Diego Garcia anyone???

Unreal. On Fox. Two airline experts. The black ex airline pilot says if the plane crashes on land or in 5 feet of salt water the ETS (?) comes on to help locate it. He waxes long and strong the plane has not crashed. The white dude waits and then explains that the ETS (LTS?) comes on only if the plane crashes on land. He explains the doohickey that comes on in 5 ft of salt water is a becon that pings.
Black expert pilot then says, uh, that's right. Chitt is hard to turn off or maybe can't be turned off, etc, etc.

PS. Israel is on alert for unplanned approaches of large aeroplanes.
PS Megyn Kelly has the best coverage with real experts I have seen on this subject.
She said, uh, well uh, crap. You should see her in green.
