"UPDATE: Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370: Officials Say Plane's Route Changed Via Computer Program Run By Someone In Cockpit; Police Find Indian Ocean Runways On Pilot's Simulator
By Sneha Shankar on March 18 2014 1:11 AM

Update as of 12:20 a.m. EST: The Malay Mail Online, citing a local news source, Berita Harian, reported Tuesday that authorities investigating the flight simulator found in the home of Zaharie Ahmad Shah, the captain of the missing Flight MH370, had found five practice runways located in the Indian Ocean.

“The simulation programmes are based on runways at the Male International Airport in Maldives , an airport owned by the United States (Diego Garcia), and three other runways in India and Sri Lanka, all have runway lengths of 1,000 metres (3,300 feet)," the source reportedly said, adding: “We are not discounting the possibility that the plane landed on a runway that might not be heavily monitored, in addition to the theories that the plane landed on sea, in the hills, or in an open space.”"

He could have been landing at GAN airfield. It is not very active, and CAN take a 777. Perhaps a couple of muzzie friends are in on it and stole a large tanker truck?

IMHO....way too sophisticated for our average death-loving muzzie terrorists.
