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.

When I heard that military radar had tracked the airplane headed west for hundreds of miles after losing the transponder, the first thing that popped into my mind was, they decided to turn off the transponder and dash across the Indian Ocean to Mogadishu and ransom the airplane / passengers.

Of course, then, the question would be, who is "they"?

Several weeks ago, an Ethiopian co-pilot locked the captain out of the cockpit and flew the airplane to Switzerland (it was bound for Rome). No obvious reason for his act: if he wanted to defect to Switzerland, why not just fly the plane to Rome as planned and take a taxi to the Swiss embassy?

So, one candidate for "they" might be the co-pilot. Or the pilot. But the pilot doesn't seem the right type. Nor the womanizing, happy-go-lucky co-pilot.

Another possible "they" would be some other critters with muscle and aeronautical experience who hijacked the airplane. Probably not those Iranians with the stolen passports (they probably just hoped to sneak into the EU and collect welfare). But who knows?

However, it has since emerged that the reports of the plane heading west are bogus. Actually, not surprising, since the breathless accounts were bolstered by supposed eyewitness reports of the plane flying low over fishing boats. Not what you'd want to do if you expected to make it across the Indian Ocean without running out of fuel (which raises another question: did they take on extra fuel at KUL? Or just enough for Beijing?).

So, never mind.
