Think! If they hijacked it to Pakistan what has happened to the 239 passengers for the last 17 days? Did they murder them? Holding them for ransom? Really stupid if they did. If they flew it to Pakistan, hid it in a hangar and reprinted it to fly as a bomb into Israel then they would have no need for the passengers and would have killed them. That is ridiculous. The plane is in the ocean. All dead. Plastic traces may float to Australia or India in a year or five years and be identified,.........or not.
You believe terrorist have any qualms about killing people? They would care less if they plan on using the aircraft as a nuke delivery device.

Ok, I accept your offer. I’m thinking. If this plane was indeed high jacked, then we are talking about people with the same mind-set as the 9/11 high jackers. So, how hard would it be for these terrorists to kill the passengers if they have no further use for them? I submit, not hard at all. Concerning the current search area; there is no hard data supporting this endeavor. The logic is based upon the premise that had the plane taken a more north westerly route it would have been picked up on “somebody’s” radar. That’s pretty subjective if you ask me. But, being subjective, I would hazard a guess that prior to flt 370 going missing a..... Well, at night a un identified Boeing 777 could easily fly across the region without causing a stir, probably happens often enough that it doesn’t cause any concern. Would any of these countries step up and acknowledge that such a breakdown in their national security had occurred? Are you kidding me? No way! Btw, the current flurry of sightings down in the Southern Indian Ocean will turn to nothing. And, then hopefully other possibilities will be (publically) considered - that include the possibility that the plane landed successfully. Your turn, think about it :)
Although China is a tyrannical regime clearly and has treated its people brutally in the past and present, I’d think if outsiders mess big time with Chinese citizens, there might be quite a bit of retaliation. So, I’m skeptical of those who say the Terrorists would murder them.
