Once found, the story would unravel.... Someone incompetent enough to shoot down their own plane is certainly not competent enough to cover it up.


Agreed and it is unraveling as we speak (if body is a passenger)

I never insinuated competence, I think they would have every reason to let a false area be searched while they calculated a plan/explanation/etc

Can you imagine IF the situation happened and then the military guy gets tapped on the shoulder and someone whispers in his ear that a passenger airline has gone missing?

Obviously, its a speculation game now, but I like the chances of more than one thing going on here.

remember, the plane was not identifying itself, not transponding, flying low (allegedly) and not returning communications. Even if they knew it was their own plain, after 9/11 do you think they would let someone use it to attack a country?

If everything else was a lie/conspiracy, you can throw this out the window.

My revised liklihoods (focused on what rather than where, although I really suspect it ended up in a remote jungle):

70% Mech/elec problem, changed course, crashed somewhere they're not looking (quite possibly, land)
25% Mid-air explosion, crashed somewhere they're not looking (i.e. Cambodian jungle)
4% Hijack*, changed course, plans failed/foiled, crashed somewhere they're not looking
.99% Shot down by somebody not fessing up, perhaps due to hijack, perhaps due to course change without communication
.01% All other theories, including possibility it was "stolen", avoided radar, and landed somewhere.

*Including the pilot hijacking it himself

I could see a situation where terrorists hijacked the plane, went incommunicado, and tried to take it back towards Kuala Lumpur for a 9/11 style attack. And the Malaysian military shot it down.

Because you know what is in Kuala Lumpur? These bad boys.



The Petronas Twin Towers

It was in reference to the guys who became heroes by rushing the hijackers. It's been in the news, you know?

I was incinuating after a while, I would think a group of passengers would have had enough (if they knew they were hijacked)

But, in reference to your question, if you don't see the possible comparison to 9/11, then there's nothing I can say.

And ABSOLUTELY I know we are just totally guessing at this point...nothing more

could it be possible there was a carbon monoxide leak and knocked everyone out including the pilots?

Maybe thinking getting back during the night with transponders off had a better chance than daytime.

Those buildings are very much symbols of western influence on Muslim culture.

Why would they deliberately crash into a building during the middle of the night when no one is there? Unless of course they were planning on riding around for a while. But even then, they wouldn't have had much fuel to really cause destruction.

Malaysia is considered terrorist friendly right? so why attack?

I'm officially in this camp now at this point. This has the makings of a huge cover up.

Eta: I think

Yeah. I just think it's still far more likely to be a regular-old crash, with obviously rare circumstances regarding the lack of communication. I certainly won't deny the possibility of it being shot down, though.....

And I was planning on sharing my bitcoins if it ends up in the Cambodian jungle (although technically Golfer thought of that first a couple days ago).

So the choices are (in no particular order):
EMP and resultant crash
Aliens
Hijacking, it went bad & resultant crash
Shot down (Malaysian AF top choice)
Twilight Zone time warping/multi-dimensional thingy
Mechanical failure along with TOTAL electrical, communication failure & resultant crash
Stuck in cloaking device mode & it either landed somewhere or resultant crash but you can't see it
Never took off but crashed anyway
It got "Chickened"
Never was a plane & other True Detective stuff
Zombies and resultant crash

Did I miss anything?

The CIA/intelligence would have SOMETHING if this were the case. I think there's 0 chance it was some kind of organized al-queda type terror plot. Our intelligence would know (albeit after the fact).

Yea but one of the tenants Suria KLCC is a 1,500,000 sq ft (140,000 m2) upmarket retail center at the feet of the Petronas Towers. It features mostly foreign luxury goods and high-street labels. Its attractions include an art gallery, a philharmonic theater, an underwater aquarium and also a Science center. Suria KLCC is one of the largest shopping malls in Malaysia.

There never was a plane and this is an elaborate pilot for a reboot of LOST or the second season of True Detective.
