The debris was apparently spotted by satellite and a Norwegian vessel is on scene now.



I understand that, hence my questions concerning navigation etc, since it is clear the aircraft either...

I'm skeptical of the electrical fire theory primarily because of the maneuvers of the aircraft after it crossed the Malaysian Peninsula. In the 1.5 hours after the last radio contact, the aircraft...

How is it known what inputs were placed in the navigation computer? The electrical fire theory can't be ruled out from what I know of the situation, but it seems to not be consistent with the flight...

Well... as far as a dry run... wouldn't it be important for the plane to at least be found so that assessments could be made about how difficult it was to penetrate security, seize the aircraft, etc?...

So, if this was a deliberate act (and successfully executed), who gains under each proposed scenario?

That would suggest then that the take over the aircraft was (relatively) non-violent and uneventful. So we're back to the crew - people who have access to the cockpit.

Here's another question, inspired by Biggus' comments: what explains the lack of communication from the passengers? From the last communication at the point of diversion, the aircraft proceeded West...

Another issue: the aircraft produced a series of signals, some of which included airspeed and altitude. I would think plotting this series on a map would strongly indicate the directional intent of...

I'm not familiar with MAS, but here are some possibilities: the perpetrators (individually or as a group) have assets, relationships, or access to MAS personnel, information, and/or resources. How is...

If we accept the deliberate diversion or take over of the aircraft, I think that in large part precludes the Indian Ocean theory unless we also accept a technical failure or navigation error in...

What fascinates me about this event is the many layers of open questions as well as the slow and poor response of the various governments involved. For example, nearly immediately a senior Malaysian...

Since the aircraft was flying at night, is it possible that a malfunction could lead the pilots to losing their direction? I'm not familiar with the technical aspects of flying and aerial navigating....
