"My input maybe infact.. hope i am wrong...
Here is one possible scenario:
Aim: To Hijack a 777
Method:
To make the aircraft vanish thereby presume crashed into the sea... the only thing they overlooked was that the engines kept talking to the satellite even though the ACARS was disabled.
-one or both pilots? or trained pax assisted by maybe one pax (the engineer?) depressurise the aircraft just 15 mins before the change over point.They could be wearing Oxygen masks which explains the garbled transmission with background noise.. Maintain altitude to starve the oxygen from the pax systems which last 15 mins ..(the pilots would last 30 mins or more) Intent is to disable all passengers who would notice the change in course and may try to storm the cockpit.
-the attendants with the mobile oxygen may have realised something wrong and try to break down the cockpit door.. so the pilot/s decide to climb to 45000 to disable these brave guys. When this works successfully the aircraft is descended to level 295 below RVSM and in between semi circular FLs.
-Now the plane is flown to a remote airfield maybe in South Central Asia.
- Once the hullabulla of the incident is over the plane is used as a delivery system for a weapon of mass destruction... logically nobody would authorise the shooting down of an aircraft carrying chemical biological or nuclear weapons over their territory...due to the possible collateral? "

Interesting theory, from a General who says there is good reason to believe the plane is in western Pakistan. He says within the next 24 - 48 hours there will be some shit going down in Pakistan.

Trying to keep it simple and only address what and not why (and bear with me)
What we know for certain:
MH370 bound for Beijing departs KL ~0035 local
MH370 never arrives in Beijing
Transponder ceased to function at 0121 local (around IGARI wp?)
Comms ceased between goodnight KL and hello HCM
ACARS did not make its 0137 local report, nor any thereafter
Two Iranian pax are traveling with stolen passports
Another pax is a Malaysian aircraft engineer
(These last two may be irrelevant but if a state actor and/or an organ of one is involved Iran and/or the IRGC would be at the top of my list)
One of two possibilities at this point: electromechanical failure -either a series of cascading electrical failures or a structural failure caused a loss of avionics, consciousness or both causing the plan to crash or, the plane was deliberately diverted by person or persons unknown.
-After 10 days of SAR no wreckage has been found
-Thus the second possibility is most likely
What we are fairly certain we know:
After the flight plan was loaded and prior to 0107 local a change was entered on the flight deck as ACARS in its 0107 local trans reported a wp change
After IGARI:
First a course change from 015 to 040 (maybe, this has been hotly debated here -however it is not that relevant just that it is out there)
Then a course change to 263 IDO wp VAMPI as programmed
Unidentified plane is tracked by Malay primary radar heading 263 at FL295 across the Malay Peninsula
Malay primary loses contact with unidentified bird at Pulau Perak in the Malacca Strait
what we think we know, or what we might know:
MH370 experiences sudden altitude changes first up to FL450 then down to FL235 (or lower)
At wp VAMPI MH370 turns NE towards wp GIVRAL
At wp GIVRAL turns NW toward wp IGREX IDO Andaman and Nicobar Islands -last known heading
Per Immarsat satellite pings two possible eventual paths of MH370 -northern up over the Asian (very) high country toward Kazakhstan or southern deep into the Indian/Southern Ocean IVO the roaring 40s
Q
Working from the deliberate diversion probability by person or persons unknown who either knew what they were doing and did it or what they should order the flight crew to do under threat (and be able to verify) engenders an inescapable question: why program a flight plan change before disabling ACARS when ACARS will report a wp change? Three possible answers: one you did not know ACARS would do that, two -ooh you forget to disable ACARS beforehand or, three to lay a false trail. We will take the last.
Theory -okay, speculation:
Unauthorized person or persons gain access to the cockpit and physically threaten the officers -procedure is cooperate, there are 230+ pax aboard. At some point UP(s) either order the CO or more likely proceed themselves to shut the pax cabin ac packs and vent the pax cabin. Officers at this point determine to physically attempt to disrupt the hijacking -sudden altitude changes indicating struggle for control of the aircraft, hypoxia situation occurs in cockpit -either depressurization event or at FL450, GIVRAL and IGREX wps previously programmed, ghost plane heads northwest toward Adaman Sea -Northern arc, crashes in the mountains.

Possible Wreckage Found

In July of 2013, TIGHAR (The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery) detected an anomaly using side scan sonar off the coast of Nikumaroro island, an uninhabited tropical atoll in the southwestern Pacific republic of Kiribati which was the target of TIGHAR's underwater search in 2012.

Upon review, it was determined that the anomaly resembles that of a crashed Lockheed Electra, the type of plane which Earhart was flying. TIGHAR believes that they have found evidence that the plane crash landed on the shallow reef before being washed to its current position a few hundred yards off the reef itself.

Past expeditions on the island have turned up some curious artifacts, in particular 1930's anti freckle cream, an American made woman's compact, and buttons and zipper from a flight jacket. TIGHAR theorizes that Earhart made a water landing and she and her copilot survived on the remote island for a time, before succumbing to starvation.

They plan to return to the island in 2014 to better inspect the wreckage found, and perform an archaeological dig on the site in the hopes of finding remains.

OFF TOPIC; Sounds very promising to me. The 1930's cream, the compact, the jacket remains, and of course the wreckage points to it being her crash site.

88 missing planes from 1948 to 2014. Gone without a trace, passenger and cargo aircraft, military transports and corporate jets.

That's just over one per year since 1948. Not really all that astonishing. Remember, we don't really know as much about our oceans as most people think. And we sure as hell didn't know shit in 1948. Just look how long it took to find the titanic and we knew where that sank. Plus, there are thousands of flights going around the world every day. Mathematically, losing one a year without a trace isn't really that surprising. Can anyone explain the missing sock phenomenon?
