*tinfoil hat on*
#1 Plane has been pre-planned to be taken and is now being loaded with some type of weapon or explosive in which the plane will be used to carry out an attack on something/someone. Malaysian government is aware of who took it and is attempting to confuse & complicate the search.

#2 Someone has stolen a plane full of people for human trafficking 
*tinfoil hat off*

Let's just go with the plane crashed somewhere and the Malaysians don't know how to manage airplanes.
 

Probably because there's nothing to report on. I'm sure they'll be all over it if/when it's found.

mainstream news media are starting to lose interest on this incident

If it was, what were they planning to do with them?

Alien abduction

In response to the question how far could a 777 fly in 4 hours, well...

At 30,000 ft you're looking at in excess of 2000 miles, but that would light up every radar screen for 200 miles and it seems they didn't want to do that, so...

Presumably they dropped under 5,000ft possibly under 3,000 ft to stay off the screens. At that height a 777 could fly around 1,500 miles IF they dropped the airspeed to say 300 knts if you want to go faster the fuel would run out real fast, so.

The equation is, if the engines ran for 4 hours after the 'plane went off the screens then it would have enough fuel to travel 1,200 to 1,500 miles, no more than that at less than 5,000 ft, my guess is it got no further than 1,200 miles in those 4 hours, maybe a lot less if it landed at one of the abandoned WWII airfields in that area.

Wouldn't be a problem unloading Gold, rumour has it that there was 17 Tons of Gold being transported to China, that's enough to turn a pilots head, and with a value of >700 MILLION $'s there's enough to share with your buddies waiting at some abandoned airstrip.

No problem offloading to a boat either or having to worrying about or accommodate the passengers, there's no cell phone coverage round there, you might fly over some cells and that could be why some phones rang, but you could spend a month walking through the jungles of Sumatra to even have a chance of finding your way out.

I'm posting this from the UK where it's leaking out that {according to RR engine transponders} the engines were throttled back as they would be during a normal landing, they can't say exactly where, but from the satellites that picked up the pings they can narrow it down sufficiently to eliminate an area of more than 500 miles from where the 'plane went missing. The 5 satellites that picked up the pings don't cover that area, the maximum extent of their coverage is between Sumatra to the Maldives {east to west}, Smith Island to the north, there's nothing to the south.

That's correct, and maybe we just have too much confidence on our current technology.

It seems that if the pilot did purposely shut down all communication channels, then our technology could do almost nothing to keep tracking the plane.

Humans can still beat technology, and it sounds reasonable.

It's the Malaysia Triangle at work again.

My $.02.

Obviously all this technology is not enough.

A new theory is emerging... the pilot hijacked the plane to the Pakistani territorial waters.

Another Oceanic 815 flight?

they probably know. just not officially.

It's interesting how Malaysia can discount China, USA, Vietnam... and everyone else's theory - but they don't know what happened. How can you discount a theory if you don't know what happened?

Thanks for sharing that link about HELIOS, I wasn't aware this happened before in a similar manner. I think this indeed might be a likely scenario for flight 370.

"I eat scrambled jets for breakfast!"

This is very likely and you may actually be onto something because it has happened before this is a mayday episode with Helios Airways Flight 522

follow up :

farcical hunt for Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 continues. US investigators believe the plane may have continued for four further hours after its last sighting — a claim that Malaysian authorities have strongly denied. Malaysian authorities say they have spoken to both Boeing and Rolls-Royce, and they both confirmed that the plane’s last ACARS transmission was at 1:07am, and at that time the plane was completely healthy. The radar blips at 2:15am (near the Strait of Malacca) and again at 2:30am, after being confirmed and then denied, are being investigated yet again. China released satellite images of the purported wreck of MH370, but Malaysia’s transport minister said they were released by mistake and ”did not show any debris from MH370.”

The reasonable question to ask here would be WTF is going on ?? and most importantly, How on earth, with all our technology, do we lose a giant plane?

They are now considering Indian Ocean too.

Another likely scenario which is starting to seem plausible, is that a failure occurred which caused decompression so the pilots and passengers passed out and died out slowly, leaving the plane on auto-pilot till it ran out of fuel and crashed somewhere.

Great summary. I wonder why are all the info is pointing to a hijacking. Well, at least for me.
