The investigation into the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 sharpened its focus on sabotage, according to aviation and industry officials, amid strong indications that one or more people on the plane deliberately changed its course and tried to mask its location.
In the ensuing minutes, a second system sent a routine aircraft-monitoring message to a satellite indicating that someone made a manual change in the plane's heading, veering sharply to the west.
Such a turn wouldn't have been part of the original authorized route programmed in the flight-management computer. Those system-monitoring messages are suspected to have been disabled shortly afterward.
A physical disconnection of the satellite communications system would require extremely detailed knowledge of the aircraft, its internal structure and its systems.
The satellite pings stopped roughly five hours after the other systems stopped working, cutting off all identifying signals from the plane. Aviation investigators are trying to determine whether someone would have had to climb into an electronics bay located on the plane's lower deck to disable that equipment.

Yeah, look whatever, you stick to your cockamaney theory that the best way to hijack a plane to India is take over a flight half an ocean away in the Gulf of Thailand.
If it helps you through the night, go for it.
I always believed that those camel f-ers thought that flying the planes into the towers would knock them over killing more people on the ground. They might have figured out how to fly a plane without taking off or landing, but have no clue about physics and mass.
I have heard the walk around bottles are good for 20 to 30 minutes max.
