There are some problems.
A) A distress signal is very easy to send out (two buttons in the cockpit). Those terrorists would have had to break in very quickly
B) Would terrorists be dumb enough to crash the plane accidentally? You’d have thought they’d be more experienced.
I speculate that the Muzzie capt. and f.o. were in on it with the two Muzzie Iranians otherwise the former would have done something like squawk 7500 (hijacking) on the transponder or flipped the ELT.
They could have slowly depressurized the aircraft and suffocated all the passengers. Where their bodies went after the a/c. I’m sure the Muzzie bodies will get a proper burial, but the infidel’s?
After the 777 disappeared it was witnessed by five fisherman who saw the aircraft descend to right above the water and fly right over them. The last they saw it was headed out to international waters. These guys were probably flying under radar and using the ground effect to give them better gas mileage. I don’t think they would be crazy enough to fly within a wing chord’s width of the water to harness the ground effect, but they are Muzzies.
We don’t know exactly how much fuel they had on board but the captain could have requested more fuel than what was standard for that flight. But considering that the ACARS data stopped after fours hours after it disappeared it gives us an idea of how far they traveled and what airports would be available for them to land on.

This assumes that the flight crew wasn’t in on it.
