I would not be surprised if one or more other aircraft are stolen in the future after all the furor dies down and everyone goes back to normal.

Look up the twenty experts heading to the month long conference in china
That’s the area that they held their many patents

My money is on a plunge into deep water—end of story. I hope I am wrong.

Actually, I hope you are right...as bad as that sounds...

Any other alternative is far too frightening to even contemplate...

I have no explanation for a southern route.

Just debating your comment that, if it crashed in the Indian Ocean, it would be easily found. I disagree.

>> “Landing isn’t the problem. Taking off again; that’s the issue.” <<

.
Depends on how much fuel it has to carry to get to its destination.

It is known to be able to take off with less than 4000 feet of runway.

And stripped of all unnecessary weight (seats, original cargo & passengers, etc.) also would help.

So you are arguing from a point without any evidence nor any possible motive. Do you realize how ridiculous you make yourself look?

“They went South because I say it. And because I say it that’s probably the truth!”

Oy vey! Give me a break.

>> Pakistan dismissed the idea that a Boeing 777 could land undetected inside the country

Really? No way!

From what I’ve heard from pilot friends, it needs less room to land, but the rollout takes more.

I wonder if you stripped the inside, if it could take off on a shorter runway.

The pilot would hope to bring down the current government that he hates.

The Pakis are capable of building a runway for when they want to use it, but they’re one of the countries that could have government support to land it at a major airport.

Sullivan had a 777 pilot call in to his program today.

He claimed to have gotten to rotation in 3500 feet.

That’s the whole problem with the crash into the ocean thing....Lack of debris field, even a single seat floatation devise, which are all serial numbered have not been found. Nothing....

Makes me think it possibly landed on the ground....Initially I did not think this would be the case...I am leaning that way now.

There is absolutely no reason to fly for seven additional hours to crash into water if you could do that minutes after taking off at Kuala Lumpur.

Flying to the remotest part of the region possible before going in is called preventing closure.
