So what's the deal with these people? Is this a race of people, or a group? Chinese Muslims?

pdate, March 15, 9:10 a.m.: When the flight first disappeared from air traffic controllers’ radar a week ago, the default assumption was that the plane had crashed. Now it seems unlikely that a plot as ingeniously planned and carefully executed as this one would not also have included plans for safe arrival at some ultimate destination. As I reported earlier, the 777 is capable of landing on small airstrips and on relatively unimproved surfaces, such as packed dirt and dry lake beds. In such a scenario, the odds are good that, unless they were murdered, the passengers remain alive. The motives and intentions of whoever took MH370 remain as murky as ever, but possibilities include a hostage scenario, the repurposing of the aircraft as an enormous flying bomb, or some combination of these and other outcomes.
If the plane landed safely and the passengers weren’t killed, why haven’t we heard any ransom demands? The perps might be covering their tracks, or they might be letting the world media whip themselves into a frenzy.

The Uighur Muslims are Sunni and part of a separatist movement to expel China from their region. These people are incredibly dangerous. When the US invaded Afghanistan 20 of them were sent to Gitmo but eventually released. According to Afghans the Uigur Muslims are the best fighters around.

Chinese Muslims, mad about being under Red control since 1949.

Im moving more to your 75/25 odds. If it crashed im going with land vs sea.

Whomever is behind this is schooling pretty much everybody involved.
Personally, I wouldn't bet that it's not possible to get it to the US. These guys seem to be a step ahead and following through with a pre-determined plan.
I am sure that there are many vulnerabilities that can be exploited. I have no knowledge of this area, so can't be specific.
Basically, all bets are off until this is found and resolved.

Are they Chinese or immigrants from the ME? Or both?

"We have a message to China that East Turkestan people and other Muslims have woken up. They cannot suppress us and Islam any more. Muslims will take revenge."

This event has already claimed at least one week of productivity from me!

possibilities include a hostage scenario

We talked about him in this thread days ago
Well we can start talking about him again because the radar pings stop right near the Kyrgyzstan region if he jumped on the flight path. The guy was an electrical engineer and had trained on flight simulators as mentioned.

They are Turkish descendants. Have been in the area for hundreds of years. Want to have one of their own "stans" but where taken into Xianjing when the PRoC formed in 1949.
