If the plane landed a week ago and we are still looking in the ocean 1,000 miles away then we can suspect they are ahead of us. I know we can't assume anything but we should be prepared for the notion that these people know what they are doing.

ETA: A hijack of this sophistication and magnitude isn't done for kicks and giggles. The objective is something pretty big.

The hijackers are smart. They got this far, didn't they?

We need to think out the box, assuming no crash. Something different, something new.

All the old-school 9-11 type things are outmoded. I am sure they have something new and innovative planned.

If it's China, then what would do the most damage? Drinking water, electricity? I think they have something totally new in mind.

That something like this was successful is impressive, to say the least. Before this, I wouldn't have thought it possible to do with all the tracking resources available today. It was more than just a pilot being able to fly a 777, it took a tremendous amount of knowing and planning to do this.

Assuming the plane isn't at the bottom of an ocean somewhere, I'm guessing that the USA knows where the plane is and is working behind the scenes to rescue the passengers.

I still don't understand the motive though. I agree, the objective was/is something pretty big.

No unidentified plane would get anywhere near our coast. No way our air defense systems aren't better than Malaysia. Thing would be shot down hundreds of miles off the coast.

Apparantly everyone here thinks that it is 100% hardcore fact that the plane landed somewhere. We all know that the press reports have been all factual so far.

They know it's in the Central Asia region. The plane flew for 7 hours.

Let's assume it's in the Central Asia region. Surely someone's radar would have seen it. Somewhere.

That's why I believe the USA knows where it is.

They aren't going to go to all this trouble and then crash the plane. There is a plan going on.

And four days ago they thought it crashed in one ocean. Then a day later, maybe another ocean.
I'm willing to believe the 7 day flight time now, but how the hell does it take a week for this to come out?

Not sure if already discussed in thread...

Just heard on CNN that transponders and such were turned off BEFORE the pilot's last communication of "Alright, good night."

Interesting if true.

Wasn't it more like "good night, good luck?"
as in "good luck in finding us."
