My $.02.

No Mystery? Why are peoples cell phones still ringing? Why have they been shown to connect and the disconnect from social media? Something is not right here.  Interesting how this plane crash has taken most of the media attention away from the problems in the Ukraine.

dude it's a plane, it's full of peanuts and lil mini cans of beer y0

They're dead. Most definitely dead. Even if any of them somehow survived a crash, too much time has passed and their condition would be pretty bad out at sea with no food water and little protection.

Bin Laden rose from the ocean and hijackd the plane and rode it back to afghanistan.

I like a joke too - but there's a couple of hundred lives missing here

I think Al Gore took it.

They obvious got abducted by roswell aliens! :O

I think the UFO took the plane. It can't be a terrorist attack. Because some terrorist group would have said they are responsible. Also even though there was 2 stolen passports, that doesn't mean they are terrorists. They might just want to get into China, maybe they got ban before.

So let me get this straight. You hate the terrorists for what.. killing 3000 people?

How many did the US kill around the world for various reasons? Are you angry for that too?

Do you have any idea exactly how wast most oceans are, and how difficult it is to find anything at all unless you know exactly where it is?

There's no mystery. It's only the media that makes it out to become a mystery. Anything could've happened. What's for sure is that it crashed at sea, and most likely everyone on board is dead. When a plane vanish, it usually crashed. Nothing mysterious about it. As for loss of radio contact, there could be countless reasons for it. The electronics might've died for whatever reason. No mystery here.

yep that main difference is they found wreckage on airfrance few days later (they found bodies years later), but in this case there is absolutely nothing.

Puzzling story indeed and quite a lot of contradicting or plain bizarre informations. It's true that the Air France flight 447 wreck was found only after several years, but they knew what happened and at least some aircraft parts and oil traces could be located several days after the crash.

How is the 777's track record?
777 is really reliable. As of 2013 only 3 hull loss. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_777#Incidents_and_accidents
Why does it take so long for the Airline to announce the plane is gone?
Last contact is at 2:40am and the official announcement is at about 6am. This is because the aircraft is scheduled to land at 6.30am and have enough fuel to fly maybe until 8am. The aircraft might still be flying (then). That and it has to go through "several countries" and maybe they had some protocol for this.
Who was onboard?
Official Passanger Manifest

Still amusing how in the digital age we can have mysteries
Either way this may well go into urban legend

How many theory crafting around this is the 777 a fly by wire plane, or still have hydraulic commands? The only logical theory that comes to my mind, is that the plane had a total electrical failure, the pilote managed to land the plane on the surface of the ocean (hence no debris) and the plan drow after an hour or two (planes are built to float for a while before drowning to the bottom of the sea) hence no debris. Phones ringing might be related to that periode of time and the people who've managed to get out of the plane.

The other theory would be the plane was shot down by accident, as there are many armies training in that area, and it's a geopolitical tense area, but then again it is surprising no one found anything and this less likely. Anyway I'm pretty confidant, that Armies of at least a few countries knows what happened and just want and don't want to show their capabilities and material in the area

I don't want to be sarcastic on this Thread because I understand how serious matter it is for many  out there , but with all that technology developing these days , waterproof smartphones and all that we must not decline the possibility of that, although I wish/hope/pray what you are saying is true ..!

I'd personally go with my tinfoil hat theory #1, but I am finding myself more and more falling into the tinfoil hat group.... and, I'm scared. 

Yeah, except for the other 99.9% of aeroplanes they manage fine.
