I still have an intelligent friend who thinks it never crashed. Really boggles my mind how someone could think that.
And you have evidence to the contrary?

No, but one should always favor explanations that don't require weird stuff to happen unless there is evidence to support it.
For example, the plane's known actions correspond to what might happen if the cabin lost pressure and one of the pilots tried to turn back and dive before losing consciouness himself. We don't know if that actually happened, but it's a reasonable guess and doesn't require a conspiracy theory.

Occam's Razor, anyone?

It should be no surprise that rational explanations are quickly disposed in favor of that of the sensational type. The God concept is the single most grandiose, and utterly baseless conspiracy theory ever invented, yet many seem on board with it's legitimacy, even today.

Some people just aren't very bright. My gf's mom was trying to tell me the other day that ALS can be cured by taking a strict vitamin regimen. "It's true, I read it on the internet". Yeah, so millions upon millions have been spent on research and development of anything to help sufferers of that horrible disease and all that's needed is a few vitamins taken on schedule. Get the frick out of here.

It's probably been answered by now but a few credible experts on NBC news presented the theory that the pilot knocked out the passengers and crew, then landed gently in the ocean and let it sink. That's why there's no debris. Seems to make sense to me.

I'm pretty sure racism in Ferguson is WAY more important than a missing passenger jet.
I don't agree with this statement.
