Anyone else got their tin foil hat on thinking about the pilot of missing Malaysia flight mh370? Its a bit after the anniversary, but because there was no communication it came to mind.

Sort of, but loss of communication could be a result of pilots incapacitated by Hypoxia resulting from loss of cabin pressure. The effects of hypoxia can overtake you before you are even able to place an oxygen mask on. This might have been a 'ghost aircraft' of all passengers, crew and pilots.

Anything that seems like a slight course correction or alteration might just be inputs by the aircraft itself, all the while the pilots are either unconscious or already dead.

A small bomb could breach the aircraft structure and trigger depressurization. The loss of cabin pressure is either a technical failure or a terrorist attack.

I'm LEANING towards technical failure, because a sudden bang or bomb detonation would get immediately reported by the pilots. Here there was NO communication whatsoever after decent.

Would be interesting to find out if Boeings and Airbuses share any commonality with regards to pressurization systems. Or have terrorists figured out an easy way to depressurize the aircraft, other than a small device or bomb?
