jesus is right, it seemed to be at a casual pace that they shut off the transponders and signals, and then they started flying at very low altitudes to avoid radar, it seems to have been a plot, probably involving at least 1 of the pilots.

why is that weird? i'd imagine most pilots like flying, so it makes sense they would also enjoy flight simulator video games...

why would he turn off the transponder if it was a suicide though? and why should he change course? why would he care about those things?

the suicide theory doesn't make sense to me, why change course for a suicide? why not just nosedive?

They could say its a Private Death
no need to be tracked.
Well Planned event.

Of course not fair on the rest of the people on that 777.


Its a Big Ocean

so you're theory is that it was a suicide and the pilot specifically wanted us to be confused?

i don't buy it, i don't think he would go to al that trouble to shut off al communication,s and then fly at low altitude to avoid radar to go to the indian ocean. if he was just going to commit suicide, why would he bother? no air force could get to him in time, so why would he care about the transponder? and if he was suicidal, he wouldn't even care if the air force did shoot him down. it doesn't make sense. why would he specifically fly below radar.

i don't buy the suicide theory, i think it was a hijacking for ransom gone wrong or a terrorist hijacking probably a chinese target,gone wrong.

The pilots did not want the World to find out
keeping the Evil Event Private and hidden
way under the sea.

I think the suicide theory is a bit of a stretch too but some people love the fatalistic glamour of leaving a mystery behind them, we have to remember that suicidal people are often not thinking rationally and don't act in a logical manner... but at the same time, I think the idea of an elaborate suicidal death seems unlikely, to go out in such a dramatic fashion would make you think that he'd want people to know about it if that was his intention... I think it's far more likely that either it was a tragic catastrophe or the plane's been hijacked or otherwise sold on.

To turn off the Transponder
in the Cockpit they have to go under the Floor
to switch the final one off.

No one outside the Cockpit
would have any idea.


"elaborate suicidal death seems unlikely"
Only to you Z

It was what I thought after it had been missing for a few days but as more information has been released over the last week I've felt that that's become unlikely again. Only time will tell... but part of me thinks that this could end up being the Madeleine McCann-esque mystery of this decade. Even with other flights where they've not found the wreckage for a long time, they've at least got very strong indications that it has crashed somewhere due to emergency distress calls prior to it going down. The fact that they have nothing to go on suggests that either something more sinister happened in my opinion, but at best, it was just a tragic accident and they'll find it nearly impossible to find the wreckage without any tracking data available.

it seems like there were multiple steps in this process that took quite a while, over an hour at least, i don't think a suicidal person would be that calculated, i think suicides tend to be highly emotional. this seems like more of a planned operation to me.

I dunno if we will ever know for sure though, so all of this speculation is probably just a circle jerk anyway.

Like with the McCann mystery, there are too many potential variables and not enough concrete information to pin down an exact time frame or sequence of events, which means that no one potential theory is ultimately any likelier than any of the others because we just don't have enough information to go on, and the longer the mystery goes on for, the less likely it is we'll ever know, I think.
