Malaysia Airlines Flight 370

Remember what Alfred told Batman, there are some crazies out there who don't have any purpose, other than just wanting to see the world burn.

The only clear purpose I can see in going to the remote Indian Ocean is to hide the plane.

As I posted last week, the plane flying to the Indian Ocean and ditching there when its fuel ran out may not have been the plan. Perhaps the hijacker had the intention of going somewhere else entirely, hence the initial route the plane took after being diverted from its scheduled heading which suggested it was going north towards central asia. The point I am getting at is that the plan may have been thwarted when the pilot at the controls realised that something terrible like 9/11 was going to happen and decided he had to stop it at any cost. Perhaps the other pilot had already been killed for trying to resist, but nevertheless the surviving pilot decides that he has to try and overcome the hijacker regardless of the risk to himself. He's worried that his desperate last ditch effort will fail, so he first makes a turn to the south to take the plane away from any potential target and leaves it flying south on the autopilot. He then attempts to overcome the hijacker in a do or die attempt and the hijacker is forced to kill or seriously wound him. With both pilots out of action the plane is now unmanned and can do nothing more than continue onwards as a ghost plane, flying south over the Indian Ocean, until it eventually runs out of fuel.

So the flight left Malaysian air space. Then it turned to the left and then flew down the entire coast of Malaysia and then into the Indian Ocean... And their military didn't do anything

The plane must have been picked up by their radar. Intercepting aircraft should have been scrambled before it reach the Petronas Towers.

blimey the chinese aint to happy with the malaysians. asking them for all the sat data from inmarsat and the calculations

I still think the simplest explanation of this puzzle is a pilot gone crazy. Anyone who thinks that isn't the simplest theory please feel welcome to explain why.

I'm not sure that any thoery is very convincing whether it's a simple explanation or not. I think nothing short of finding the plane is going to shed any real light on what happened.

The one thing I am certain about is that someone wanted this plane to vanish. The plan has been foiled by these satellite pings, which the planner of the plane's diappearance may not have even known about.

What would have happened if the Malaysian air Force were doing a proper job and had intercepted MH370? Would it have ignored them and continued on its way, running the risk of being shot down?

The Chinese have also committed an amazing amount of rescorces to the search, sending a huge number of ships to the Indian Ocean. They have also repurposed some of their satellites to help in the search and that isn't easy to do. I'm impressed at how keen the Chinese are to solve this puzzle.
