Malaysian Airlines plane still missing after three days

http://www.wired.com/autopia/2014/03/mh370-electrical-fire/

A very clean, logical, conspiracy free theory about what may have happened.

it sounds very comprehensible and, as you said, conspiracy free. But a lot of the other theories sound logical, too, while you read them. Only when they really find the wreckage (or whatever it is) will we know for sure. Up until then we are left speculating or rather judging the speculations of others.
 
It's alright, guys - Courtney Love has solved the mystery:

^ well, looks like, maybe, somebody else found it. Or something possibly related. A lot of question marks remain. Just imagine the size of the search area... (and the amount of debris and garbage floating around there).

Three weeks in now and not a trace.  This whole story is just not adding up for me.

Adds up to me if it crashed in the ocean - it's such a massive, massive search area, and they weren't able to immediately search in even the right part of the world because it wasn't originally known how far off course it was.  Add to that the amount of debris already in that area of the Indian Ocean and it becomes difficult to find anything conclusive.

I should have expanded -- it's not necessarily just the inability to locate the plane.  It's quite conceivable it could never be found if it crashed in the vast area where it's assumed to have. 

It's more the Malaysian government.  Some of their pronouncements have been wishy-washy and makes one wonder what the heck is really going on with the investigation.

(Beyond that, I'm still baffled as to how the plane ended up where it supposedly did)
 
These articles are old but they explain something about a different scenario on just what may have happened to Flight 370.  Suspicion  about the pilot's intentions or perhaps it was more or less a hijacking, (sudden wayward drops in altitude give suspicion to that theory), or, the plane never crashed, it was re-routed (either via hijack or by pilot) elsewhere.

Remind me never to fly Malaysia Airlines ever.

Looks to be a very different situation (we think) but yes another one.

Appears they know for sure this one was shot down and where it is, just now a matter of who to blame for doing it.

May all rest in peace.
 
horrible tragedy. Although I work in Massachusetts 2 people from the company I work for were on the plane (I work for a Dutch company).. One had his wife and 4 children with him..Sickening
 
Debris, or what looks more like a wing flap, was found by officials on the French Reunion Island (near Madagascqr) last week.

Officials believe that it (the debris) are remnants of a Boeing 777 airliner (Malaysia Air 370) and will investigate further in the hopes that it will yield more details in the disappearance of Flight 370:

A wing flap suspected to be from the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 arrived at a French military testing facility Saturday, where it may help experts shed light on what happened to the plane and its passengers.

French aviation experts will try to establish whether the wreckage was part of the Boeing 777 that disappeared March 8, 2014, with 239 people on board.

Air safety investigators, including one from Boeing, have identified the flaperon as being from the trailing edge of a Boeing 777 wing, a U.S. official said. Flight 370 is the only missing 777.

"I believe that we are moving closer to solving the mystery of MH370. This could be the convincing evidence that MH370 went down in the Indian Ocean," Malaysia's deputy transport minister Abdul Aziz Kaprawi told AFP.

Analysts at the French aviation laboratory hope to glean details from metal stress to see what caused the flap to break off, spot explosive or other chemical traces, and study the sea life that made its home on the wing to pinpoint where it came  from.
