At this point either the government is with holding information that would not look make them look good, or aliens took the damned thing.

It still seems possible that the hijacked Malaysian Flight MH370 actually made it to some unknown destination.

I’m not one for conspiracy theories. Most of them are BS, IMO.

But this story stinks. Other than a sudden catastrophic explosion, which would be hard enough to explain let alone NOT detect, too much else would have to happen coincidentally to make a plane disappear like this without a warning, trace, mayday, etc..

The fish stinks from the head down.

At this point we know NOTHING. Even the so called data from ACARS has not been verified. Those are short bursts not all the time real time (too much bandwidth needed for that so it was not ever done). This ACARS pings come ONLY if there is something mechanically wrong to notify ground crews of what needs repair (gives them a heads up and some time to get parts together). After a;; the unnamed sources from WSJ article the so called news out was that the last ACARS ping was around 1:10am local time which was just after the last flight deck contact.

At this point no one knows anything. All the speculation does not create facts

Mr. Kitty’s theory from several days ago. Hijacked and flown at low altitude somewhere.

Curious-er.

Shortly after the place disappeared from radar, someone issued a Tweet that said the plane had landed in extreme south part of Vietnam.

That Tweet was quickly quelled as a hoax or non-truth.

==

Since then, the plane wreckage has been noticed more toward Hong Kong,
in the Indian Ocean,
near Sumatra,
in the South China Sea,
east of Vietnam,
between Malaysia and Vietnam,
south of the line between Malaysia and Vietnam, etc.

Past FR link from 2005:

Did this 777 have a bad history from 2005? read the attached link.

http://www.atsb.gov.au/publications/investigation_reports/2005/aair/aair200503722.aspx

In-flight upset; Boeing 777-200, 9M-MRG,

PILOTS on a Boeing 777 from Perth to Kuala Lumpur battled to gain control of the plane last month after an unknown computer error caused the aircraft to pitch violently and brought it close to stalling.

A flight attendant dropped a tray of drinks and another began praying as the Malaysian Airlines pilots fought to counter false information being fed into the aircraft’s autopilot system and primary flight display.

The glitch prompted plane manufacturer Boeing to issue a global notice to all 777 operators alerting them to the problem.

Flight MH124 was about an hour out of Perth when the aircraft began behaving erratically. The incorrect data from a supposedly fail-safe device caused the plane to pitch up and climb 3000ft (914m), cutting its indicated airspeed from 500km/h to 292km/h and activating a stall warning and a “stickshaker”.

A stickshaker vibrates the aircraft’s controls to warn the pilot he is approaching a speed at which the plane will have insufficient lift to keep flying
