The above probabilities add up to 100%.

Thus any crash ON LAND is ruled out, yet I read that China, far far from stupid people, are conducting land searches.

Hmmm.

Interesting thoughts on this post ... I'm not clever enough to pick holes in it ..but it actually seems plausible ??

Keith Ledgerwood ? Did Malaysian Airlines 370 disappear using SIA68/SQ68 (another 777)?

Is it that simple to fool an Air Defence Radar ??

TOF1.

I don't do rude.

Would you care to explain please?

A polite PM would suffice.

Your scenario is not remotely plausible and you under estimate massive difficulties at every step...but I tell you what...I'll buy it.
Theft is always plausible.

Thai authorities now saying the SSR was intermittent as they tracked MH370 ... ahhh, so perhaps not 'turned off' but going u/s due to a fire in the equipment bay? Surely not back to a reasonable technical supposition?

Follow the money. If all the crew and pax show up negative for insurance, and the cargo isn't very valuable, then the aircraft itself would seem to be the valuable item.

We need more data. Let's see what the satellite data release tells us.

If, as was suggested at the weekend in the UK press, somebody was trying/succeeding to blow the cockpit door off with a shoe bomb would not one of the pilots have elected immediately to select the HIJACK code on the transponder! Not, I suggest, if one of them was involved and it was an inside job!

Curiouser and curiouser!
