Evidence just seems to be stacking up against the pilot...or so the media and govs would let us believe. I hope for the sake of the families the pilots had no involvement. And yes, one must wonder how much pressure other pilots would be under now. |

I read something earlier today that said the cabin oxygen was turned off.
No idea how true, with how 'facts' are being thrown around. But it might tie in with the fire theory. |

Interview of a retired Pilot that previously flew the missing plane, and knew the Pilot, listen to that finger snap. I also seen a brief cockpit fire simulation on T.V, that was very interesting, but it hasnt been uploaded yet. Still doesnt explain the plane going into covert mode or the Pilots last message to the control tower 10-15 minutes after turning gadgets off. |

Amazing still no good news
I think If I suggested in any form in general chat that a aircraft could go missing for weeks I would be cut down in flames with people saying that will all the technology satalites ect it would be imposible I really feel for the families especially the fact that many of the Chinese passengers were single child families |

One thing a event like this does is make you realise that some things are really not that important and material things are just that.
I feel for the guys here in Broken hill who work in the mines lucky saftey is a big thing but there is always a risk you will not come home or like one guy two years ago is now a quadlapledgic and live in Adelaide He is spoon feed his dinner and then his carrer wipes his butt after what a life changeing event some time it is good to just say Hi to your partner and say how you feel ,and say hi to the kids We to do tend to take life for granted so many times. |

hang on...WHY HAS NO ONE ASKED that if the last communication from the pilots was AFTER the transponder went down or the plane CHANGED direction, why didn't the air traffic controller in charge of the plane not ALERT them or ask the pilots what's happening??? Am I missing something?

Im growing more and more skeptical by the day with this incident.
I believe a cover up is happening by one or more governments.

Coincidentally this part of the Indian Ocean is some of the deepest water in the world... Good luck recovering black/orange boxes....

The idea that a plane can still just vanish in this day and age has shaken our entire social fabric. It has captivated the world because it was so indescriminatory and anyone of us could have been a passanger on that plane.

I think the only cover up you are going to find is the Malaysian Government trying to cover up its own incompetence and handling of the matter.

Dont get me wrong im deeply saddened for the families who have heard nothing about their loved ones, but the list of speculative theories is just to bizarre for words.
In this day and age of technology where a government can zoom in and tap in on your every move within 1m metre from a satellite, im finding it hard to swallow that absolutely no one knows the where abouts past or present this plane is. It just up and vanished like a fart in the wind. How convenient.
