If there are redundancies built in it is b/c things can go wrong.

And the redundancies are exactly why the Boeing 777's electrical systems CAN'T fail. It has a primary system, a back-up system, an emergency back-up system, as well as a turbine that can convert wind into electricity. The chances of all of them failing at once are so small it's nearly incalculable. In fact...there was a Boeing 777 pilot on CNN today who made the claim that there has never been a total electrical failure on an airliner in the history of aviation.

Everyone should just go ahead and embrace the aliens theory

understand that it is highly unlikely but it isn't impossible.

It's as close to impossible as it gets. The plane is more likely to crash, killing everyone on board, than it is to have total power loss mid-flight.

We know the plane rose in altitude to ~45,000 feet, enough to knock out the passengers on the plane. The shifting in altitude and changes in direction point to someone deliberately moving the plane to avoid detection.

Throw in the communication devices being shutdown and we end up with certainty that this was either a hijacking by passenger(s) or pilot(s).

Madavaram ruled out the possibility that MH370 was hijacked, because it was impossible for the aircraft to have escaped all radar detection in the area where it was travelling.

Does this make zero sense to anyone else? Hijacking or not it obviously fricking did escape radar detection.

Is that even possible? That would be better than any amusement park ride

I think this was a plan years in the making. An airstrip on an uninhibited island could have been cleared and prepared for several years without anyone knowing. Unless it absolutely has to be a concrete strip. I know they pave runways from 3-6 feet with concrete but that is with years and years of service in mind with dozens of commercial craft taking off and landing daily. Couldn't a strip be made of hard pan dirt with just one anticipated landing and subsequent takeoff?

Is it possible that several men with a few dozers working only at night and then covering their work with fake plants, bushes, rocks. Etc. before daylight could manage this over multiple years? Then clear the entire strip the day of the hijacking?

If it was years in planning, couldn't they have figured a way to have enough fuel on the island procured to get that plane airborne again and to at least a European destination?

I am just speculating like many but at this point it seems the unimaginable is possible. I have a strange feeling that our intelligence community know far more than it is letting on. Perhaps they had human or electronic intel, or both, and knew something big was being planned. Now they are keeping it close to the vest as they scramble to pinpoint exactly where this plane is parked. Maybe they already have found its location and are putting the plan together to execute its rescue? Just crazy! But I do know that many discount terrorism as no organization has claimed responsibility. But the question then becomes, "Why would a group tip their hand when their plan was not fully executed?" They would do that only after their end game was achieved, not after phase 1.

Royce engines that shows it descending 40,000 feet in the space of a minute, according to a senior American official briefed on the investigation. But investigators do not believe the readings are accurate because the aircraft would likely have taken longer to fall such a distance.

that must be that cloaking device making it harder to track.
