    A 'pilot suicide'?. 2 guys board w/stolen passports and the plane disappears into thin air - sounds like a hi-jacking to me and that's what the Malaysian government says..... and of course,t he U.S. government knew it also.....

    two guys who were probably heading to ask for Asylum in Germany.
    How do you hijack a plane when there's 200 people on board?
    How do you get into the cockpit, how do you turn off the transponder?
    It's a huge mystery, and it keeps getting stranger.

    Unnecessary. Transponders are not unique to an aircraft, like a VIN. Rather, every flight they are assigned a code from ATC, or they can fly outside the system by using code 1200.

    How do you take over airliners and crash them into buildings? With a lot of planning, it's done. The terrorists have had the yrs since 9/11 to plan another one.

    I do not believe in 'coincidences' of this magnitude where 2 guys board w/stolen passports just to innocently seek asylum in another country and then strangely the airliner totally disappears into space......... bs.

    Now, 1 or both pilots may have been in on this.... we don't know yet, but that's a possibility.

    How do you commit suicide while taking 200+ random strangers with you? Not to deny that it has ever happened, but it is quite unusual; and more contrary, why would he shut off the comms and transponder, change course to an alternate standard flight plan, and intentionally avoid radar just to drive himself into the ocean? The suicide theory just doesn't add up for me.

    Okay everyone here is my theory, this is for real, even though it's just wild speculation like everything else.

    We know that most of the passengers on this flight were Chinese citizens, and we know that those separatists in Xinjiang are crazy enough to storm a train station and hack people to death with knives in order to make a point. My theory is that some Chinese terrorists recruited the copilot Fariq to help them in hijacking the planeload of people for the sake of negotiating with the Chinese government (for whatever their demands are, who knows).

    Furthermore, I theorize that whoever pulled this off has been in contact with Chinese officials, and that elements within the Chinese government know exactly what is going on with this plane. Maybe it's even sitting on a Chinese Tarmac. They do not want the international community to know that they have such little control over their criminal elements or to think that whenever foreigners fly with Chinese people they might end up part of a kidnapping plot, so they're keeping what they know under wraps and trying to keep attention focused on how poorly the Malaysian government is handling the investigation. They don't want the story to get out until they've resolved it and can show they have everything under control.

    Apparently, the younger pilot was a big supporter of his countries opposition leader who was jailed that day. Also, the pilot's wife and children moved out of their home the day before. The opposition leader is gay, so Sam Adams beer company will be supporting the hijacking.

    If one pilot killed the other, with the door closed, no one else would know, and then if he headed for the middle of the Indian Ocean, how would the passengers be aware of that?

    Now if a pilot wanted to commit suicide, but wanted to hide that fact, he turns off the transponders and puts the plane on a heading where it will never be found.

    Lots of one car accidents are suicides, by people who don't want others to know they committed suicide, it's a well known phenomenon.

    Islamic brain works in mysterious ways... Allahu Akbar Flight 990 is a testament to that.

    I didn't mean 'how' like that, I meant how in good conscience. I think suicide is an inherently selfish act, but not with utter disregard for the lives of innocent people all around. Someone made a comment about the Islamic mindset, maybe there is something to that, but even suicide bombers are seeking to make a point or target a specific group of people.

    Either this plane shows up in the next several days, or when that cockpit voice recorder is finally recovered it's going to have some disturbing stuff on it.

    I really do not wish to be too dismissive about any reasonable theory--there are just too many possibilities to easily cast aside those theories that are set forth--but I am not convinced that it was pilot suicide. After all, there are numerous ways to commit suicide that do not require the simultaneous murder of hundreds of innocents.

    Of course, it is true that a person with a suicidal predisposition is not necessarily thinking rationally...

    The average suicidal doesn't even think of taking a couple hundred of innocent people w/him. They want to end their life of hopelessness and pain, not others...... but the homicidal psychopaths, the suicide bombers - that type..... yeah, a plane load of people would be their style.

    But I don't think this is some plotted suicide and I also think there were quite a few brains behind this operation and so far they've pulled it off pretty smoothly....

    This is 7 days now since the plane disappeared? They seem to know what they're doing to accomplish their goal.....

    I'm more worried about NYC, especially considering so many people that I love live there.

    Another radical Muslim. The pilot I believe was the one. He was a muslim involved with a known radical muslim.

    This is so strange right now. Still no wreckage. Could be being repainted right now for a terror attack with the plane itself or a bomb. Then there is the pilot who was politically active. Then we have the drop in altitude and back up again which could mean someone else taking over the plane.

    Everyday I'm watching the news on it, but so far nothing of any substance..... some facts, but mostly opinions and guess work. last count, something like 24 nations working together to find this plane....

    I can't for the life of me imagine what it would be like for someone in my family to be on that plane, the days are slipping by and not knowing....

    I can't imagine either. Maybe they're all alive somewhere? You wouldn't give up hope until the worst is confirmed.

    The worst part is if the plane went down in the middle of the Indian ocean, we may never, ever know what happened.

    Based on profiling, pilots are unlikely suspects, says Israeli airline’s former security chief; he and other experts believe plane intact

    A former security chief for El Al said that the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 points directly to Iran.

    Isaac Yeffet, who served as head of global security for Israel’s national carrier in the 1980s and now works as an aviation security consultant in New Jersey, said investigators were correct in honing in on the two fake-passport carrying Iranian passengers on the doomed flight, and they have wasted valuable time by exploring other leads.

    “What happened to this aircraft, nobody knows. My guess is based upon the stolen passports, and I believe Iran was involved,” he said. “They hijacked the aircraft and they landed it in a place that nobody can see or find it.” However, it would have taken more than just a pair of Iranians with forged documents, Yeffet said, to pull off such an astonishing crime. “I can’t believe for a second that if these people planned to hijack the aircraft, it was just them,” he said. But based upon the tried-and-true Israeli intelligence strategy of profiling, the pilots, he said, are unlikely suspects.

    “We are talking about a captain who is 53 years old, who has worked for Malaysia Airlines for 30 years, and suddenly he became a terrorist? He wanted to commit suicide? If he committed suicide, where is the debris?”

    Adding that the captain in question, Zaharie Ahmad Shah, was known to be happily married and comfortably well-off, Yeffet said the profile simply does not fit. “From the United States to China to Japan, everybody is searching for this aircraft or piece of it. And there is no sign. So in my opinion, the aircraft was hijacked. And it was an excellent plan from the terrorists, to land in a place where they can hide the plane and no one can find it.”

    Listen to the Israelis, people...

    This was my theory almost a week ago. I still think it is quite plausible, even more so as time goes on. Either that, or it's at the bottom of the ocean.
