Why stealing the Malaysian airplane makes no sense...

If they tried to use it for terrorism, it would be picked up by radar.

Apparently, about 9 days ago, it was NOT picked up by radar.

The idea of storing it for later seems unlikely to me, too. But maybe that's because it's so horrifying.

My gut is telling me that Uighur separatists hijacked the plane, possibly with the help of a 'flipped' co-pilot, and took it into China or near the Kyrgyzstan border for a prisoner/hostage swap. Or were planning a 9/11 style attack on a Chinese city which failed. China either quashed the attempt, shot it down, it crashed accidentally, negotiated already and is waiting to announce to the world (that seems realllly unlikely), etc.

Or it was a crazy/lone wolf solo pilot or co-pilot kind of deal, either plain ole suicide or some kind of political statement wrt to the jailed opposition leader.

(From what I've read, the pilot seems like a good dude and quite principled, but frustrated with the state of politics in his country. That can apply to about half of America, too. I don't think he's involved unless it's related to his mental health. I've not really dug deeply though.)

What could they possibly do with that airplane?

I'd never thought I'd see the day after that infamous Tuesday someone would actually ask this question.

It's like it never happened.

It had tons of gold in it. They landed on a dry lake bed somewhere and cut the local politicians in on the loot. All the passengers are still alive and will be set free when the hijackers make their getaway.

That's my hopeful scenario anyway.

More than likely the plane is now a submarine. Back to topic, I just don't see how a plane that big can transverse even part of the globe where land is involved without being detected. Might not be identified but it would be detected.

Of course that brings up the next big question if it can.

The popularity of Miley Cyrus makes no sense. She's ugly and she can't sing. I think the pilot was doing something big to attract her attention. Just like when John Hinckley shot Ronald Reagan to show his love for Jodie Foster.

Although Foster is not quite as ugly as Miley.
