Malaysia's military believes a jetliner missing for almost four days turned and flew hundreds of kilometers to the west after it last made contact with civilian air traffic control off the country's east coast, a senior officer told Reuters on Tuesday. --SNIP--
Malaysian authorities have previously said flight MH370 disappeared about an hour after it took off from Kuala Lumpur for the Chinese capital Beijing.
"It changed course after Kota Bharu and took a lower altitude. It made it into the Malacca Strait," the senior military officer, who has been briefed on investigations, told Reuters.

Very interesting! Thanks for the ping....
I think that "IF" the state of Iran or other rouge group is involved and "IF" this plane was hijacked for nefarious purposes, they will say nothing, (...crickets...), and all those on board with no further use to them, or who are a liability to their plans, will be disappeared.
They would likely just claim, like everyone else in the MSM, that the plane just disappeared and crashed into the sea without a trace.

And they have the Freescale team’s avionics designs, free.
Maybe the plane IS in Tehran.

“...Some country is going to have to be involved with this.”
This is very serious. Banda Aceh sounds like a key to this event, and the 777 is long gone on its way to wherever.
"...it is beginning to look like that Malaysian flight that went missing has been highjacked, and it is possibly carrying Americans with defense information.
Details are in this discussion. Flight appears to have turned east and possibly gone over the Indian Ocean.
Thanks, Satin Doll.
Hiding a 777 from overhead surveillance in a place like Somalia or on a small island in the Indian Ocean would be very difficult.
Luigi and Hans sure woulda fooled me!
That’s what my husband thought too...
Sounds like a practise setup to me...
Or someone noted the possibility and developed a game plan accordingly.
Except they are not Americans, they are Chinese and Malaysians...even more scary.
If this plane has been stolen, I don’t think it’s in Somalia. That’s too far and to much risk of being intercepted. Someplace closer like Aceh. The pilot(s) and possibly some of the crew are in on it. No, they won’t be able to hide it for long.

Nice - so what’s your take on this...
The aircraft can be just about anywhere in the far or near east.
It seems he has either made or ‘Liked’ quite a few videos, and now after scanning his list, the hell if I would figure him to be involved. I also don’t think the Co-Pilot would’ve been involved either.
However, I admit the reason I don’t think either would be involved is because it seems to me they both had good lives, and I don’t understand why they would want to throw that away. Unless, like I said something catastrophic recently happened to them in their personal lives that hasn’t been made public yet, causing them to snap.
Having said that, the moment the plane stopped transponding and changed course(now allegedly?) seemed IMO like it was somewhat of a sophisticated planned action that would’ve required a pilot’s expertise or a well versed hijacker(maybe one/some of the crew). I don’t know.
Basically at this point, any of dozen different scenarios can be viable.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the obfuscation and intentionally misleading stories be Malaysian officials has actually been cover. And maybe they have tracked the plane, know where it’s landed, and are trying to deny the hijackers any publicity until teams get into place in order to attempt to take the plane back.
But like I said, there’s a dozen or more different stories that sound plausible, yet at the moment it’s all speculation. Hopefully we’ll find out what happened soon.
If they are going west, add in the rotation of the earth...
Runway: 17/35 9,843 ft. 3,000m Asphalt
I think it landed on the ice strip at Station McMurdo in Antarctica.

In that case, I hope they dressed for the weather...
